	Mingulay - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mingulay (Scottish Gaelic: Miughalaigh or Miùghlaigh) is the largest of the Bishop's Isles in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland.
		It has been uninhabited since 1912 and is known for its large seabird population, including puffins, guillemots, kittiwakes, shags, fulmar and razorbills.
		Also associated with the island is the Mingulay Boat Song, although it was composed in 1938, after the abandonment of Mingulay.

	Rambles: Ben Buxton, Mingulay: An Island & its People
		Mingulay, often regarded as "the nearer St. Kilda," is the last but one island at the southern end of the Hebrides -- its population at its highest was 160.
		The abandonment of the island was an inevitable event, exacerbated by the lack of proper boat landing or anchorage; Mingulay is an inhospitable island, surrounded by harsh seas and dangerous currents.
		Mingulay village is a crumbling ruin of crofts, with the sands encroaching on the remainder of the buildings.

	Wildlife Hebrides - wildlife in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland.
		The meeting of two sea currents at Barra head, at the South end of Berneray, gives a rich food supply for fish, which are preyed on by the breeding fulmars, puffins, kittiwakes, razorbills and guillemots.
		Mingulay, which also has impressive seabird colonies, was settled early and was inhabited until 1908, when most of its residents went to Vatersay: the ruins of the village and school can still be seen at the head of the bay.
		Mingulay and Berneray have their own sub species of field mouse.

	Overview of Mingulay (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Once owned by the MacNeil's of Barra, the island of Mingulay (Gael: Miughalaigh is the largest of the small group of islands in the Outer Hebrides known as the Bishop's Isles.
		Mingulay has a long history of settlement with many archaeological sites in evidence, but its population rapidly declined from a total of 140 inhabitants in 1901 to two in the 1930s, the majority evacuated 1910-2.
		Two buildings still stand: the Schoolhouse, which was built in the 1880s by the Free Church Ladies' Association and later used as a sheep farmer's bothy; and the Chapel House, a Catholic priest's house built in 1898.

	The Thistle & Shamrock Newsletter Article: Maggie MacInnes
		Mingulay is a particularly beautiful but very remote and rocky island.
		Mingulay has been uninhabited since 1912 and the story of the island is a bit like the story of the island of St. Kilda, although much less well known.
		Isolation, absentee landlords, and insufficient fertile land, all contributed to the evacuation of the island.

	BBC - h2g2 - Mingulay - work in progress
		Battered into high steep cliffs by Alantic storms on the West, Mingulay's green grassed slopes on it's sheltered east slide into white sand dunes and a crescent shaped bay facing out into the calmer waters of the Minches.
		Mingulay is the second most southerly of the arc of islands that make up Scotland's Outer Hebrides, or Western Isles.
		That wasn't always the case; for such a small and remote island, Mingulay has a suprisingly long history of habitation.

	Mingulay Boat Song - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The premise of the Mingulay Boat Song is that it would be sung by Scottish fishermen as they returned from the Atlantic towards the Isle of Mingulay.
		Pull her 'round boys, and we'll anchor 'Ere the sun sets at Mingulay!
		The melody is described in Songs of the Isles as "Traditional Gaelic tune (probably Lochaber) arranged by Hugh S Roberton".

	Flora MacNeil - feature article in the Living Tradition magazine
		Neil ‘Beag’ was born in Gasbhal, Barra, was dispossessed of the family land and moved to the small neighbouring Island of Bernaray, and thence to Mingulay.
		Her passage to Mingulay is unclear, but it is there that she lived with her husband Neil ‘Beag’, and where she had her children.
		The songs contributed to the family’s treasure chest by her great-great-great grandparents (mother’s paternal side) are also of great interest, for this chapter in the family history is also one of great poverty.

	May 2004 Feature: Julie Brook
		Visual Artist JULIE BROOK has been working on Mingulay, where she has focussed her attention on the cliffs and stacks on the west coast, especially Biulacraig, one of the highest cliffs in Britain, and on the east coast, which forms a wide bowl shape giving onto a large sandy beach.
		Mingulay is a remote and uninhabited island lying 12 miles south of Barra,
		In contrast to these drawings and paintings I have also made sculptural works in the landscape responding to the materials and forms around me. This is complemented by drawings made using organic materials arising out of circumstance, for example using seafoam from a storm, or materials found.

	Makem Discussion
		The Mingulay Boat Song was requested at a session on the cruise, a song that hadn't been sung much lately.
		I was just looking for clarification on that because it was my understanding that they, in fact, had changed it officially to the makem and spain brothers because the spains were mistakenly being promoted as special guests.
		As far as Mingulay goes, it's just a song that you don't hear much anymore and now it seems to be making a comeback and that definately happened to us on the cruise as it was well received.

		The cold-water scleractinian coral, Lophelia pertusa from the Mingulay Reef Complex.
		The first hint that this might indeed be the case, came during a research cruise in 2001, when the Royal Research Ship Discovery was sheltering from autumn gales in the Minch, unable to do planned work.
		The captain was persuaded to sample the seabed in the calmer waters east of Mingulay, where dead coral rubble, a fragment of live Lophelia, and a diverse animal community were discovered.

	Ken MacLeod: Cosmonaut Keep
		One tale, about Gregor Cairns, is set in the far future on the distant planet Mingulay, while the other takes place in the relatively near future in a politically altered Scotland and seen through the eyes of Matt Cairns.
		The Mingulay portions appear to be fairly typical science fiction set on a human colonized planet which is essentially cut off from the rest of the galaxy.
		This section opens with the arrival of a rare trade ship, which is cause for a grand celebration, including Gregor Cairns, who would prefer to be allowed to continue his research into the Mingulayan sealife until he meets Lydia de Tenebre, the daughter of one of the visiting merchants.

		It was posted in thread Mingulay Boat Song's Minch by "Dez Yello", who said that he had written it, along with Paul Whitehill, back in 1984 when they were both in a band in the Manchester area; it was subsequently taken up by other people.
		There are several other discussions on the song, many of which repeat essentially the same material; it becomes rather confusing after a while.
		In another, there is a modern song, written in Ireland and later translated from Irish into Scottish Gaelic, which uses the same tune: Sean Nos song - An Cailin Alainn.

		Until 1930 St. Kilda was inhabited, but then the last of the islanders departed, leaving a handful of windswept ruins, though there is also a military base which may be visited.
		The small islands of Mingulay, Berneray and Pabay, to the south of South Uist, are a nature reserve and teeming with sea birds during the breeding season.
		The old village on Mingulay is a reminder of a way of life that has all but gone - the last of the islanders left in 1912, abandoning their life of fishing, collecting seabirds and eggs for food and trading feathers.

		All you have to do is enter the title, or part of the lyrics in the blue box in the upper right hand corner and hit go.
		This particular is under "The Mingulay Boat Song", so if you'd attempted a search, it was probably a spelling issue.
