The Times of London website is normally a paying website but about two months ago a library in the States had a "Free Week" for Library Week. This was taken off after giving a couple of weeks extension but someone found a "back-door" to the website and this is still available to search. This is the website: http://infotrac.galegroup.com/itweb/free4_tda?id= . The password is "trial" in lower case and no capitals. You may have to try it a couple of times to get in. It's fantastic. I have spent hours and hours searching on this website and never thought to try searching for the "Isle of Tiree". Searching for "Tiree" or "Tyree" brings up hundreds of hits. The articles are there but you have to search through hits that are people with the surname Tiree or Tyree. When you do a search change the dot below the search box from Titles to Entire Article Content. Here are a few hits I copied down: Picture Gallery - March 24, 1973: The "Loch Seaforth" sinking alongside the jetty at Scarinish, Tiree. March 5, 1949: Tiree harbour at Scarinish showing the schooner "Mary Stuart", the last trading schooner on the Scottish coast. Scottish Equestrations - November 30, 1831: Niel McLachlan, Ballaphetrish, Tyree trader, Dec. 14, Jan. 4 at New Inn, Tobermory. Deaths - Aug. 9, 1862: On the 27th July at Baleletrish, Tiree. N.B. To the inexpressible grief of his family and relations, Neil, the beloved and eldest son of Colin Campbell, Esq. of Caresig, in his 18th year. Death - May 15, 1928: At Island House, Hugh MacDiarmid, age 83 years. Ecclesiastical News: Baptist. The Rev. J. Taylor has resigned the pastorate on the Island of Tiree, Argyll Dec. 16, 1939. Marriage - Jan. 15, 1954: Mr. H. Campbell and Miss H.M. Wille. The engagement is announced between Hector, son of Mr. & Mrs Neil Campbell of Tiree, Argyll, and Helen daughter of Mr. & Mrs Eduard Wille, of Nottingham Road, Natal.
