Lismore, Scotland

Lismore ((スコットランド・ゲール語:Lios Mòr), possibly meaning "great enclosure", or "garden") is an island of some in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland. The climate is damp and mild, with over of rain recorded annually. This fertile, low-lying island was once a major centre of Celtic Christianity, with a 6th-century monastery associated with Saint Moluag and later became the seat of the medieval Bishop of Argyll. There are numerous ruined structures including a broch and two 13th-century castles.
During the 19th century various new industries were introduced, including lime quarrying. During the early decades of this century the population exceeded 1,000 followed by a lengthy decline. Although resident numbers are now less than 200, there was a small increase from 2001 to 2011. About a third of the population were recorded as Gaelic speaking at the former date. The modern economy is largely based on farming, fishing and tourism and the largest settlement is Achnacroish. Various shipwrecks have been recorded in the vicinity.
==Etymology==
The Gaelic name, ''lios'', means "garden"〔Mac an Tàilleir (2003) p. 80〕 or "enclosure",〔 and ''mòr'' is simply "big" or "great"〔 reflecting either the fertility of the island amidst mountainous surroundings, or the presence of a defined area surrounding the early monastery.〔Murray (1977) p. 155〕 One of the earliest English language references is to "Lismoir" recorded in the 16th century.〔Monro (1549) "Lismoir" no. 54〕
Achnacroish is from ''Achadh na Croise'' and means "the field of the cross".〔Mac an Tàilleir (2003) p. 3〕 The other small settlements are Clachan (village with a church)〔Mac an Tàilleir (2003) p. 30〕 and Port Ramsay opposite Eilean Ramsay (Ramsay's isle). Most of the surrounding islets have descriptive names such as Eilean Dubh (black island), Eilean nan Gamhna (isle of the stirks) and Pladda (flat island, from Old Norse).〔Mac an Tàilleir (2003) p. 96〕〔(''Am Faclair Beag: An English - Scottish Gaelic dictionary incorporating Dwelly'' ) Faclair.com.
