An Early History of the Bahá'í Faith in Stornoway/Western Isles

Pixie MacCallum

Afnan Library Trust, 2024

About: The Hebrides was first mentioned by 'Abdu'l-Bahá in 1916 in the Tablets of the Divine Plan where Bahá'ís were urged to "spread...the synopsis of the divine teachings in, among other places, the Shetland Islands, Hebrides and Orkney Islands." We do not know if there were any Bahá'í visitors before this account begins in 1953, when Knight of Bahá'u'lláh, Geraldine Craney, arrived in Stornoway to take up her pioneer post.
