What is recorded here
Lindsay Act is a twentieth-century lugger lost in Castlebay Harbour, Barra. The sea took the wooden ship, but the harbour still holds the shape of its absence. People may imagine the crew, the cargo and the storm that ended the voyage, yet no clear event is recorded. The chamberlain ledger and local memory leave a gap where the story should be.
