Goals
The goal of the Geographical Team is to organise ourselves into groups that will focus on profiles of people born in a particular region of Scotland These regions are then divided into individual county teams. Ultimately we want to see an increase in profiles from that county, and to see the standard of those profiles rise. We do this through maintenance categories, one place studies, notable profiles and sub-projects, and are always open to new ideas. Please contact the team leader if you would like to join the Scotland Project and one of these teams.

Can anyone interpret just where this place is supposed to be?
Can you give me the link on FamilySearch? I'll see if I can figure it out.

I'm sorry to say that the Western Isles are not a strong area of knowledge with me, however I believe that North Uist is in the Highland Region. They were a designated part of Inverness-shire before the latest administration area change in 1975.
