3 An Geamhradh ann an Innse Gall. Tha cuid ag ràdh gur e seo an t-àm as dùbhlannaich do dh eileanaich. Chan eil fhios am co mheud turas a thubhairt daoine rium an uair a thàinig mi a Leòdhas an toiseach ma gheibh thu tron a chiad gheamhradh, dearbhaidh sin am fuirich thu!. S e an fhìrinn a th ann gu bheil e fiadhaich, agus dorch. Cho, cho dorch. Ach gun teagamh tha na geamhraidhean againn àlainn. Sa Ghearran tha tighinn, bidh sinn a comharrachadh nan oidhcheannan dorcha geamhraidh le fèis ùr air a ruith leis An Lanntair, Fèis Speuran Dorch Innse Gall. A bheil fhios agaibh gum faic sibh an Orion Nebula às a seo 1,500 bliadhna solais air falbh? Agus s e na h-eileanan seo an t-àite as fheàrr san RA airson nam Fir Chlis fhaicinn. Bheir an fhèis ùr seo sinn a-mach a choimhead nan rionnagan agus a sealg nam Fir Chlis, agus an cois seo bidh prògram air leth de dh òraidean bho luchd-saidheans is reuladairean Winter in the Outer Hebrides. Some say it s the most challenging time for islanders. I cannot count the number of times folk said to me when I first moved to Lewis if you can get through the first winter, that ll be the true test of whether you ll stay or not! It can be pretty wild, it s true, and dark. So, so dark. But there s no doubt that there is beauty in our Hebridean winters. This coming February we will be celebrating the incredible dark skies that come with our darkest winter nights with a brand new festival led by An Lanntair, the Hebridean Dark Skies Festival. Did you know you can see the Orion Nebula from here over 1,500 light years away? And these islands are also the very best spots in the UK for watching the incredible phenomenon of the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis). This new festival will take us out stargazing and aurora hunting, as well as a fantastic programme of talks mòra na RA, filmichean, tèatar, ceòl agus tachartasancoimhearsnachd. Bidh fiù amharc-lann nam planaidean againn a-staigh! Am measg na bhios againn, bidh Chris Lintott bho The Sky at Night, Heather Couper agus Nigel Henbest, Reuladair Rìoghail na h-alba John Brown, Space Ape, tachartas chloinne a bhuannaich duais le Andy Cannon, Whatever Gets You Through The Night, oidhche de sgeulachdan is òrain le luchd-ciùil leithid Emma Pollock agus Rachel Sermanni, agus tòrr eile. Chan urrainn dhomh fhèin fuireach ris! Ach chan ann dìreach mun fhèis ùr a tha seo tha tòrr eile ri dhèanamh aig An Lanntair tron gheamhradh. Tha mi an dòchas gum faic mi sibh uile aig na bhios againn de thachartasan, bùithtean-obrach foghlaim agus taisbeanaidhean a dh aithghearr. ELLY FLETCHER Àr-Oifigear Chief Executive from major UK scientists and astronomers, films, theatre, music and community events. There will even be an indoor planetarium! Highlights include Chris Lintott from The Sky at Night, Heather Couper and Nigel Henbest, Astronomer Royal for Scotland John Brown, Space Ape, an award-winning children s show by Andy Cannon, Whatever Gets You Through The Night, an evening of songs and stories with performers including Emma Pollock and Rachel Sermanni, and much much more. I, for one, cannot wait for this! But of course, it s not all about this new festival - there s lots more to explore in An Lanntair s programme this winter. Hope to see you all at our many events, education workshops and exhibitions soon. Geamhradh 2018 FÀILTE WELCOME 3

This piece will experience the journey of war and its aftermath, for those leaving and those at home. The tragic journey of the Iolaire, the boundless grief and the scale of loss within such a small Island community.
