We met a couple, Mike and Janet Robson, who had “diversified their croft” by going into a couple of businesses. Janet ran a quilt shop upstairs which did mostly custom work for visitors. Downstairs, Mike had a for-donation historical research operation called the Lewis Book Trust. He sold copies of his own books there as well. Mike was quite the talker, and it was all very interesting. He told us that the Souterrain structure we found was a World War II bunker, but that there was an ancient underground passage there as well and that he believed the bunker was actually built atop the older site. He also told us that Teampall Phaedair was historically at least as important as the restored Teampall Mholdaith (St. Moluag's Church) we had had visited.
Quite coincidentally, Mike was from our next destination, Northumberland.
