The Hebridies are an archipelago of islands off the North West Coast of [[Scotland]], in the United Kingdom. They are one of the last areas where the [[Gaelic]] language is spoken. They are generally subdivided into the Inner Hebrides, and Outer Hebrides. (Also known as the Western Isles.)
Forced displacement of communities during the Highland [[Clearences]] by the British nobility led to the emigigration of many Hebrideans to the Americas.
