Mrs Val Maclean visit with the maclean familiy actinolite crystal

What an exciting day here at the Old Lochmaddy School on Friday 25th August when Mrs Val Maclean visited with Caraidean Uibhist community group. Val very generously donated an actinolite crystal found on the west side of North Uist by her late husband Alistair Maclean. It was great to hear from Val about the Macleans history with the crystal and from our board member and geologist Dr Jean Archer about the formation of actinolites.
