Thomas' map of 1861

Yesterday I mentioned a map - this is an excerpt from it, our little bit of Grimsay.
For those who are interested, it is the only map that shows the embankments built at either end of our bay to create farmland. Before this I hadn't realised there was still a loch there. 
The dykes were created in 1831 but swept away in 1868 - lucky to get it mapped at all. Our house is not marked on it but ruins of the three buildings with a small yard in front of them remain on what is now the island ion front of the house.
