Pottering about on the internet today, I stumbled across something beautiful. It’s the following passage from Màrtainn MacGilleMhàrtainn in his book A Description of the Western Isles of Scotland (1703) describing the people of the Isle of Rona.
“They take their surname from the colour of the sky, rain-bow and clouds.”
Which, I rather think, is as it should be.
