The Iolaire Impact

The talk will discuss the findings of the research project, asking why silence was the main form of coping and recovering from this collective trauma.

The project has brought together researchers at the Centre for History, UHI, and the Iolaire Centre – an island-based organisation established to create a heritage centre which tells the story of the Iolaire tragedy and the consequences which flowed from it.

Dr Iain Robertson is a Reader in History at the Centre for History, UHI. He has a special interest in historical geography, with a particular focus on the twentieth-century Highlands and Islands.
