Any plans to include a detailed section for the proposed wind farm off of Tiree? AyrshireNeil ( talk) 22:58, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
I've heard on a number of occasions that the name of the island was previously spelt Tyree; one story I have heard is that the name was changed for postcode reasons, but this may purely anecdotal. I've made a brief search, and this site mentions a change, but doesn't provide a date for it. I also found a post regarding it, which seems to indicate that this spelling used to be commonplace and could be confirmed by historical records, though obviously the post itself can't be cited. I've not got a strong interest in the topic, but I was wondering if this might be an appropriate thing to add to the article if it can be properly sourced. -- Poppy Appletree ( talk) 19:52, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
Alternative spellings are commonplace prior to the 20th century but I have never heard this story about postcodes before. I have to say it seems unlikley to me. Its 16th century spelling included 'Thiridh'. Ben Mac Dui 07:54, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on
Tiree. Please take a moment to review
my edit. If necessary, add {{
cbignore}}
after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{
nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}}
to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.

Admonan says that Finchan was very closely attached "in a carnal way" to Áed Dub mac Suibni. So what's the problem? Why are you removing this material? Contaldo80 ( talk) 07:48, 16 August 2017 (UTC)
Firstly Contaldo80 you should adhere to WP:BRD and await consensus for your challenged edits otherwise it is you being uncivil. Inded your false accusations and insinuations about Claoimh are very bad faith. You have not sought or got consensus. Your additions veer widely off-topic going into more detail than is needed, detail that can be stated at more relevant articles. It is also a highly fringe view based on a single highly biased primary source that is being distorted and not put into proper context. If you feel the information must go in then we must also state Adomnan's clear bias and why and make the whole thing even more off-topic. Indeed the whole large paragraph needs reworked to more relevant information and maybe actually properly sourced. However most important of all... get consensus first instead of edit warring and making accusations. Mabuska (talk) 23:07, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
This section begins by leaping into a story telling section with no dates or historical milestones such as information about early settlers or political shifts etc. I'm not a historian but I can see that there's a gap at the beginning in which some basic historical info needs to be added. Perhaps before looking at the sources, we could find a good template from which to work. What historical sections on Wikipedia articles on similar geographical locations would be great examples to follow? Suggestions below. Edaham ( talk) 06:21, 17 August 2017 (UTC)
The MS.1467 and MacFirbis both reference that "This Airbertach had twelve townships [aka minor nobility status] inhabiting the Norwegian territory, viz. Greagraid [ancient population names] of the Champions, commonly called Mull and Tiraoda and Cruibhinis or Craobhinis or Island of Bushes."
In Irish: "Airbeartaigh reamraieth a se an tairbertach sin do aitreabh da threibh deg i Fionnlochlannach .i. Greagraidhe na ngaisgeathach das comainim Muile agus Tir no Tire aodha agus Cruibhinis, no Craobhinis"
Hence the Tiree means land of Aedh. Who this Aed is a question, however Áed Dub mac Suibni of the Dál nAraidi might be a posibility. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.1.235.114 ( talk) 21:40, 6 July 2018 (UTC)
It is strange that the history section of this article makes no mention of the dramatic rise in population from the end of the 18th century to the time of the
Highland Potato Famine. Nor is there any mention of the kelp trade that supported this dramatic increase in people. The story of the large numbers who emigrated before, during and after the famine has also been left out.
