Fuaigh Mòr

Fuaigh Mòr (sometimes anglicised as Vuia Mor)[6] is an island in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland.

In 1841, Fuaigh Mòr was the scene of an incident in the Highland Clearances, a subject that still evokes much bitterness in the surrounding area.

A local Lewis story goes that the Bernera Ground Officer, who was responsible for the evictions, was later dismissed from his post and ended up as a tramp in Ontario, Canada.

While he was begging for food in Ontario, he came to the door of someone he had evicted from Fuaigh Mòr, but did not recognise them at first.

The south east has a small headland extended northwards, called Rubha na h-Athadh, which has a cairn on it.
