Sunday Traditions Endure in the Hebrides Amid Modern Changes
On the Hebridean islands of Lewis and Harris, Sundays remain a day of rest and worship, largely untouched by modern changes seen across Scotland. While most businesses remain closed and public transport is absent, a controversial decision to allow Tesco to open on Sundays has sparked debate. Dr. James Eglinton and Rev. Hector Morrison emphasize the cultural significance of the Sabbath, rooted in deep Christian traditions. Despite some modern shifts, many islanders believe their Sunday customs will endure as long as faith remains vibrant.
