Background

Bragar (Scottish Gaelic: Bràgar) is a village on the west side of the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland, 14 miles from the island's only town, Stornoway. Bragar is within the parish of Barvas, and is situated on the A858 between Carloway and Barvas.

A ruined Iron Age broch, Dun Bragar, stands in Loch an Dùin in South Bragar, 80 metres from the road and connected to the lochside by a causeway. In the mid-20th century local people took away many of its stones, and the structure is no longer safe.

The remains of a chapel, Teampall Eòin (the Temple of John the Baptist), built in the 15th century or earlier, lie inside a walled compound. This also contains a cemetery, now known as Cill Sgàire (Zechariah's cemetery) after Zechariah MacAulay who fell in a skirmish between the MacAulays of Uig and the Morrisons of Ness.

BARVAS, a parish, in the island of Lewis, county of Ross and Cromarty, 10 miles (N. W. by N.) from Stornoway; containing the late quoad sacra district of Cross. The name of this place, like that of many others in the neighbourhood, is supposed to be of Norwegian derivation; but its signification is altogether unknown. The church, built in the nineteenth century, is a long narrow building, and contains 300 sittings.

The name of this parish is thought to be Norwegian, in common with that of many other places in the Hebrides; but its signification is not known. The parish of Barvas is situated in the northern extremity of the Island of Lewis, extending from south-west to north-east, along the shore of the Atlantic. It is bounded on the west, by the parish of Lochs; on the south, by the parishes of Stornoway and Lochs; on the east, by the parish of Cross; and on the north, by the Atlantic ocean.

There are no towns in this parish, nor any market in the country, by which the people may be benefited, but the annually one held at Stornoway in July.

The Highland Crofter's Commission

Southward of Bragar, on the border of a loch, are the ruins of a circular tower (dun) or Danish fort, well adapted for defense, built solely of large stones, three stories high, tapering towards the summit, with a double wall, bound by large flags, which at the same time form a winding staircase in the interior of the wall, by which one may go around the building.

In a plain of moss between Barvas and Shadir, there in an immense stone 18 feet high, and nearly the same in circumference, standing almost perpendicular, and no other stone nearer than the shore a half mile away. Unless it was placed there by some mechanical power, there can be no better proof that there were “giants in those days”. Some suppose it was erected in memory of a native chief who fell there. The tradition of a bloody battle between the native tribes having been fought in its immediate vicinity might seem to confirm this opinion.

The church is located in the center of the parish, about five to seven miles distant from the inhabited parts of the parish. There are no dissenters in the parish, nor any other chapels or churches. About 180 families, and from 400 to 500 individuals, are in the habit of attending public worship, when weather permits.

The earliest record of a population count was in 1755 when the population was numbered at 1995. In 1831 it amounted to 3011.

The only parochial register that exists in this parish, dates its earliest entry from the year 1810, since which time, baptisms, marriages, and distribution of poor funds have been regularly registered. Almost every populous village in the parish had formerly a small Popish Chapel attached to it, and adjoining the church, a burying ground, which still serve their original purpose. The names applied to these were, St. Bridget in Borve, St. Peter’s in Lower Shadir, St. Mary’s in Barvas, and St. John’s in Bragar. (Source: Familysearch.com)

Date of death: 1 January 1919 at the age of 42. Murdo drowned, but was never found (Source).

Seaman Murdo Morrison, RNR, 6 South Bragar, is reported missing, believed drowned, since the "Laurentic", on which he was serving, was sunk. He was 38 years of age and had completed 16 years service in the RNR. He was a son of the late Norman Macleod and Mrs Macleod of 6 South Bragar. When his father died, shortly after the last war, he was the sole breadwinner for his widowed mother and his young sisters and brother. The brother is also serving in the RNR. Murdo was not tall of stature, but he was very strong and hardy and an excellent swimmer. He had a very kindly and happy disposition. Everyone in Bragar felt the news that he is missing very sorely - he was so popular and winsome in his ways. (Source: Stornoway Gazette, 13 December 1940)

12 South Bragar

The news has been received by Donald Mackay of 12 South Bragar that his son John is reported missing, and believed to have been drowned. John, who was 29 years of age, was the youngest of three brothers on active service with the Navy and has been away for over a year now. Until he was called up he was employed at home as a weaver. He was of a genial disposition and his quiet unassuming manner earned him many friends. These he invariably entertained with that natural turn of wit which was peculiar to him. Little did we think this was to be the first news we were to hear of the happy carefree youth, popularly known as "Wallace" who left us such a short time ago before he was drafted into foreign service. His many friends at home and among the Forces will cherish the memory of their associations with him and young and old alike will treasure theirs. We extend our deepest sympathy to his aged father, his brothers on service and his sisters at home and elsewhere. (Source: Stornoway Gazette, 22 May 1942)

13 South Bragar

John Morrison, 13 South Bragar. Mr. Robert Morrison, 13 South Bragar, has received official notification that his son, Pte John Morrison, Royal Scots Fusiliers, has been killed in action. Young Morrison, who was only 19 years of age, had not been very long at the front. Previous to his enlistment he was for a time employed in Glasgow. He was a dutiful son, and his sorrowing parents have the sympathy of all in the neighbourhood. (Source: Stornoway Gazette)

It was learned last Friday, with widespread regret, that George Morrison (Seoras Rob), Seaman, RNR, had been killed when HMS Vandyck was sunk by enemy aircraft off the coast of Norway on June 10th. Seaman Morrison was reported missing early this month, but good hopes of his safety were held out. We can imagine therefore what anxious moments of fluctuating hopes and fears were experienced by his relatives in the interval, and what a heartbreaking shock the news of his death was to them. George was 34 years of age and had completed 13 years' service in the Royal Naval Reserve. He married two years ago and leaves a widow and infant son. Of a kindly, cheerful disposition, George will be much missed, not only by his relatives but also by his many friends in Cnoc-a-Charnan and elsewhere. To his widow and infant son, to his aged father, brothers and sisters, our sympathy goes out in their irreparable loss. (Source: Stornoway Gazette, 26 July 1940)

George Morrison, son of Mr Robert Morrison and the late Mrs Morrison, 13 South Bragar, was a reservist of long standing, with fifteen years service to his credit. He leaves a widow and an infant son. He was on the ill-fated "Vandyck", sunk in Norwegian waters. (Source: Stornoway Gazette, 9 August 1940)

23 South Bragar

Donald Smith, 23 South Bragar. Private Donald Smith, Seaforth Highlanders, previously notified as missing on 3 May 1917 is now notified by his chaplain as believed to have been killed on that date. In a very sympathetic letter, the chaplain informed his father that the suspense was caused by Donald's comrades being seriously engaged for 10 days. On their return to rest, they had with them among other identifications of fallen comrades, Donald's paybook. This, the chaplain explains, may be taken as conclusive proof that Donald has fallen in action. He had seen much action, have been in France almost continuously since November 1914, and up to 3 May (1917) had come through it all without a scratch. He was a pleasant a companion as one would meet, in fact, his friends called him Smiles on account of his ever-present smile. We deeply sympathise with his father and mother, who have 3 other sons in services on land and sea. (Source: Stornoway Gazette).

Gunner Donald Murray, 44 South Bragar, 24 September 1943. Our village has suffered another blow as a result of the war in the death of Gnr. Donald Murray, R.A., husband of Bella Mackay, 10 North Bragar, and son of the late John Murray and Mrs Murray, 44 South Bragar, which took place on 6th September at Preston Royal Infirmary. Widespread regret was felt when it was learned that his death occurred at the comparatively early age of 42 years. Indeed, his passing leaves a large gap here, for his nature was such that many were attracted towards him. He was of a very happy and humorous disposition and always looked on the bright side of things. No social gathering was complete without him and his own natural wit coupled with his rendering of many local songs was exceptional entertainment. For some Years he resided in Benside where he was employed by the Post Office at the time of his calling-up nearly two years ago. Then he and Mrs Murray made their home in Bragar, where Donald pent his last two leaves. We were glad to see him back in our midst again. His many friends in the Laxdale district will also be sorry to hear of his death. The remains were brought home and on September 11th the funeral to the Bragar Cemetery took place. The large number who gathered to pay their tribute to the memory of Domhnull Iain 'an Ghobha was proof of his popularity. We extend our sympathies to his widow and two young children and also to his aged mother, brothers and sisters, in their irreparable loss. (Source: Stornoway Gazette, 24 September 1943)

John Macdonald, 57 South Bragar. Mr Donald Macdonald, 57 South Bragar, last week received official notification that his son Joh, who was in the RNR (T-section) was accidentally drowned by falling overboard. John was a bright, cheery lad, and had always a pleasant smile to greet his friends. He will be sadly missed. The sympathy of the community goes out to the sorrowing father, who recently became a widower, and who has lost several other members of his family during the last few years.

In respect of John Macdonald, RNRT, who was drowned 5 May 1917, following letter from his officer has been received by the deceased's father.

"I regret very much having to write this letter about the loss of your son. It was 5 am, we were proceeding towards our patrol; it was blowing a gale and bitterly cold. He was leaving the bridge when the ship took a violent roll and he apparently lost hold of the handrail and fell over the side. Two of the crew who were standing by him threw lifebelts after him which he was unable to reach. He was in sight about 3 minutes. We did all possible to save him. He was wearing a heavy coat and seaboots at the time. We all miss him very much. He was a smart young sailor and had the making of a fine man".

Young Macdonald was indeed a smart young fellow - he was only 18 years of age, bright, smart and cheerful, a dutiful son. (Source).

MACIVER Treasured memories of a dear husband, father and father-in-law Donald Maciver 64 South Bragar who passed away on February 10, 2006.

33 North Bragar

Intimation was recently received by Mr M. Campbell, 33 North Bragar, that his son Isaac was lost at sea through enemy action. Isaac, who emigrated to Canada some ten years ago, was employed by the Tramway department of Fort William (Ontario) Corporation. He threw up his situation and proceeded to the Mother Country with the intention of joining the RNR, but matters had been otherwise ordained, and he took seafaring as his career, as he was accustomed to this line of life on the Pacific coast. He was only 30 years of age; of sterling uprightness of character; a most dutiful and loving son and brother; a genial and true friend; and a general favourite with all who knew him. the deepest sympathy is extended to his bereaved parents, brothers, and sisters in their great sorrow. Recently, a sister of deceased died in Winnipeg, Canada. Mr Campbell has got other three sons serving King and country, namely, Malcolm (in France), Angus (RNR) and Norman, who took part in the great fight for Hill 60, and is now in a convalescent hom. Mention may also be made of the fact that these four brothers met at home in August 1916, a family reunion that will doubtless often be called to remembrance by the sorrowing parents in this sore trial.
