Balivanich
Balivanich ((スコットランド・ゲール語:Baile a' Mhanaich)) is a village on the island of Benbecula in the Outer Hebrides off the west coast of Scotland. It is the main centre for Benbecula and the adjacent islands of North Uist, South Uist and several smaller islands. Balivanich is within the parish of South Uist.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Details of Balivanich )〕 ==History== The name meaning "town of the monk" possibly relates to a monastery which may have been founded here as early as during the 6th century. ''Teampull Chaluim Chille'', an ancient church dedicated to Columba, might have been part of this monastery; its remains can still be seen south of the village.〔Catriona Garbutt, Jean Newman: "Teampull Chaluim Chille - Balivanich's Scheduled Monument" In: ''Am Pàipear'' - Balivanich - No. 315, April 2012, p. 20–21.〕 An airfield to the north, built during World War II, became the control centre for the Hebrides rocket range, established in 1957 at the height of the Cold War. It is now Benbecula Airport.
