The Emigrants’ Stone at Druimbhuidhe on the road between Heylipol and Cornaig, photographed by John Holliday in 2006. The day before emigrating, Iain Mòr Mairi Lachainn and Dòmhnall Mòr, both from Cornaig, were walking home after receiving their passage from Island House. One of them said to the other, “Well, we’ll be away from here and we’ll soon be forgotten.” And the other one said, “Let’s do something that they’ll remember us by,” so they rolled the boulder over on its side.
