This volume, first published in 1924, under the title The ‘Men’ of the Lews, consists of articles which originally appeared as a series in the Stornoway Gazette. They present sketches of some of the Lewis worthies of the 19th and 20th centuries, some of whom were known to the author himself. Norman C Macfarlane was a native of Lewis and after studies at Glasgow University and the New College, Edinburgh he was ordained and inducted to the ministry, serving congregations in Cruden and Juniper Green, Edinburgh. With the help of Dr John Macleod he has provided an invaluable collection of material well-worth bringing to the attention of a new generation. Apart from the lives of the men themselves, there are interesting sidelights on church life in Lewis in past years, including Communion Seasons, Question meetings and such like.Originally published by The " Gazette " Office in 1924.
