A sombre New Year’s Day in Stornoway beckons, as we gather later to mark the centenary of the sinking of the Iolaire - more than 200 servicemen, returning from the horrors of WW1, drowned within sight of home. We will remember them. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-h…

At around 2.00am on 1st January 1919 HMY Iolaire was carrying sailors home from WW1 when she hit rocks near Stornoway harbour.
At least 201 men from Lewis & Harris died and there were only 79 survivors.
It is one of the UK’s worst maritime disasters.

Our #iolaire100 service with @cne_siar starting soon, with HRH The Prince Charles and @NicolaSturgeon due to arrive shortly.
