The history of Mingulay, an island at the southern end of the Outer Hebrides. The author documents the traditions of the community for whom a combination of factors such as isolation, the absence of a landing place and insufficient fertile land led to their "voluntary" evacuation by 1912.

Ben Buxton first explored the Barra Isles in the 1970s. Later, while studying for a degree in archaeology, he investigated the archaeology and history of Mingulay. In 1995 Mingulay: An Island and its People was published by Birlinn. This was joint winner of the Michaelis-Jena Ratcliffe Prize for Folklife in 1997. Ben Buxton now lives in Dorset, where he teaches adult education classes in archaeology. He is also the author of The Vatersay Raiders.
