Sgeulachdan na Mara - Sea Stories explores the intimate relationship between people and place and<br />
seeks to make visible the rich cultural knowledge that exists in the seas around Barra and Vatersay. It has<br />
been developed as an online cultural map by artist Stephen Hurrel and social ecologist Ruth Brennan,<br />
in association with Voluntary Action Barra & Vatersay and involved school pupils in interviewing Barra<br />
fishermen and older members of the community. It will continue to be added to as further ‘sea stories’<br />
are gathered by Castlebay School’s media students and the wider community. The map is accessible<br />
to the public at local cultural events and to the wider world via the Internet. Please feel free to visit the<br />
website now to explore this unique cultural map of the sea, and to contribute to the project yourself. The<br />
project was funded by Creative Scotland’s First In A Lifetime Award, Comunn na Gàidhlig and Comhairle<br />
nan Eilean Siar with support from Scottish Association for Marine Science, and the Marine Alliance for<br />
Science and Technology for Scotland. See www.mappingthesea.net/barra
