Summary
Keening in Lewis.
The contributor has never heard of keening being done in his own time in Uig. If it was done at all it was no longer a practice by his grandfather's time. However, he did hear of a girl from the district who went to a wake in Point, where there were women keening by the side of the bed. Two or three of them took turns lamenting until the funeral took place.
