HEBRIDES, anciently the Western Islands of Scotland, the peninsula of Kintyre, the islands in Firth of Clyde, the Isle of Man and adjacent islands in centre of Irish Sea, and Rachlin or Rachery Island off north coast of Ireland ; but in modern times only the Western Islands of Scotland. These lie off the mainland from a line about middle of Kintyre to a line near north of Sutherland, and are, with trivial exceptions, disposed in three groups called Inner Hebrides, Outer Hebrides, and St. Kilda. The Inner Hebrides are partly interlocked with projections of the mainland ; extend from a line about middle of Kintyre, to a line about middle of Ross-shire ; and comprehend the main groups of Islay, Mull, Tyree, and Skye, together with neighbouring and intermediate islands. The Outer Hebrides lie from 15 to 31 miles west of nearest parts of the Inner ; extend about 150 miles north-north-eastward from about the line of Ardnamurchan Point to a line near north of Sutherland ; comprehend Barra, South Uist, Benbecula, North Uisfc, Harris, and Lewis, together with a multitude of smaller islands ; are so comparatively compact from end to end as to be often designated by the one name of Long Island, and as to afford passage for large vessels through only one strait, the Sound of Harris ; and, in a general view, increase in size and importance from south to north. St. Kilda group lies about 50 miles west of a westerly island in centre of Outer Hebrides, and is so very small as to challenge notice mainly on account of its special position, structure, and natural history. The entire Hebrides are computed to have an area of somewhat more than 3184 square miles. They come charmingly into the view of history in connection with the Culdees of lona ; they began about the close of 8th century to be assailed and overrun by the Scandinavian pirates and vikings ; they passed by con-quest in 990 to the Earl of Orkney ; they became about 1158 the dominion of the Lords of the Isles; they were often and much affected by contests between these lords and the kings of Scotland ; and about 1545 they passed completely under the Scottish sceptre.
