Those attending the Ceolas symposium studied seaweed on the shore of Loch Sgioport.
The annual Ceòlas symposium has become an integral part of Uist’s July calendar, allowing for a community- led scrutiny of their heritage. The foreshore and its resources – specifically seaweed – featured as this year’s topic.
For generations, the people of Uist have used seaweed in a plethora of ways, perhaps most notably during the kelp boom of the 18th and 19th centuries.
