You will see this Norman style tower as you drive down into Uig from the Portree road. This is not an early Norman Tower it is a much more modern ruin. The Uig Tower was built by Captain Fraser, a notorious landlord of the Kilmuir Estates during the period of the Highland clearances, and was indeed originally used to collect rents from the local crofters.This building was used to house a family in Uig into the 1950s.
The germy little kids at the preschool have infected me with something. V. has it, too. So, it’s a good day for taking Tylenol and watching weird old Lotte Reiniger shorts on YouTube.
