Full Description

NF98SW 18 centred 91 82.

A stone sinker from Berneray was exhibited in Glasgow in 1888, on loan from Mrs McNeil.
International Exhibition Glasgow 1888.

Mrs McNeil's collection subsequently passed to Mr H H Mackenzie, factor of the North Uist estates, whose collection was donated to RMS (NMAS) in 1972. How ever, this sinker was not with the material given to the Museum. (But see NF86NW 24.)
