 |
|
| This plaque can be found inside the Western Isles Museum, located on Francis Street in Stornoway. It hangs above the stairway and commemorates Old Boys from the Nicolson Institute, the island's secondary school. The Museum used to be the main building for the Nic, which is now located about a hundred yards away, on the other side of Matheson Road. Will include a picture at next opportunity. |
