Summary: Here’s another story from Shawbost in the west of Lewis. It’s called ‘Hugh/Ewan of the Sea’. Hugh lived near the shore. One day, he went to the bottom of a geo (an inlet with steep sides). He saw a woman. Her back was to him. She had long hair. By her side, on the top of a stone, there was sort of clothing. The clothing had a fish tail and fish fins. Hugh understood that this was a mermaid. Accompanying Gaelic text, grammar points and vocabulary are all available at bbc.co.uk/litir
