Military intervention on Lewis, 1887
Resistance to the collection of rent, and the resulting evictions and disputes about the occupation of land caused unrest on the isle of Lewis, resulting in a military force being dispatched to quell the rebellion. The Illustrated London News reported the reading of the riot act at Aignish Farm, near Stornoway, and the seizing of riotous crofters by police and marines as front page material
