Coll Diaries is an ongoing local and family history project by Ian Quigley of Kith & Kin Scottish Ancestry, exploring the village of Coll in the district of Back, Isle of Lewis, Outer Hebrides.

The project researches the village’s families, crofts and community life, bringing together historical records, photographs and personal memories to build a picture of the people who lived there and their connections across generations.

Research findings are shared through the Coll Diaries Facebook group. The project also seeks to connect with descendants of Coll families, including those whose ancestors moved elsewhere in Scotland or overseas.

Contributions of photographs, family information, documents and memories are welcomed, as is help identifying people and places in historical photographs.

This project concerns the village of Coll on the Isle of Lewis, rather than the separate island of Coll.

Access to the Facebook group is free but requires a Facebook account and approval of a request to join.
