Anne,

I understand Weatering Home is absolutely a Scottish song. I have a wee question.

As far as I know, in medieval Scotland, Islay, together with Outer and Inner Hebrides, had belonged to Kingdom of the Isles until 1265. However, nowadays, Islay, as well as Jura, Mull, Tiree and Coll, is included in Strathclyde, while Skye, Rhum and Eigg are in Highland. The Outer Hebrides are now called Weatern Isles.

Is Islay in the Hebrides as you wrote? What islands are included in the Inner Hebrides?

I suppose Skye, Rhum and Eigg must be, and Coll, Tiree and Mull may be. Jura and Ilay are a bit far from these islands.

Is there any definition of the Hebrides?
