Jim Kneale of GWAMS received this letter from a gentleman in Vienna:
Your members may be interested in the Chiollagh Books www site which contains a range of printed material relating to the Island available for free download. Please spread the word!

I’m sure you all know that Chiollagh — pronounced chol-ag with the ‘o’ as in orange–means hearth or fireplace.
It has a number of very interesting downloads including these:
