Sollas

Sollas (Scottish Gaelic: Solas) is a small crofting township on the northern coast of the island of North Uist, Scotland.

As a result the principal Sheriff-Substitute by the surname of Colqhoun along with his officers and a strong body of police left Inverness and headed for Sollas on North Uist to eject the tenants from their homes.

As the tenant's homes were demolished they began to throw stones at the men carrying out this work who were then driven from the houses and had to retire behind the police for shelter.

[5] Today, the village of Sollas has a local supermarket and the old school building has been turned into a community centre - Taigh Sgire Sholais.

Northern & Scottish Airways inaugurated services to Sollas in February 1936, using beach and the machair (on which it laid out two grass runways, a hangar and a fuel depot).
