The Sinclairs were big, powerfully built men with voices to match. It is said that Hugh Sinclair and his uncle, Robert Sinclair  of Swandale could shout to one another across the Bay of Saviskaill, in Rousay, a distance of at least 2 miles.  This claim seems rather far fetched.

Obituary

Mrs William Inkster, Rousay

On Wednesday afternoon of last week there passed away at Cogar, Rousay, as the result of an accident which occurred the previous day, and other complications, the oldest inhabitant in the island. We refer to Mrs [Mary Gibson] Inkster, widow of Mr William Inkster, farmer, and the mother of a family of nine boys and one girl, several of whom, including Councillor Inkster of Kirkwall, and Rev. John Inkster, D.D., of Knox Presbyterian Church, Toronto, have held, and still hold, important public appointments.

Mrs Inkster, who was the last survivor of the large family known as the Gibsons of Langskaill, in the Wasbister district, was born at that farm on the 27th of August 1836, and was therefore in her 91st year. In her girlhood she spent some years in Kirkwall, during which time she became an associate and afterwards a member of the Congregational Church, Rev. Mr Smith being then the pastor.

Returning to Rousay, she married and settled down in 1858. In the following year she took a prominent part in the great revival which then swept the islands, presiding at weekly meetings for women held in their several homes during that time, and as long as she was physically able she was an enthusiastic supporter, both in word and deed of the United Presbyterian Church, being ever ready to minister to the sick in their homes in all parts of the district in which she lived.

Mr Inkster predeceased her 22 years ago, and of her family one died in infancy and two of diphtheria while at school. The youngest two, Mary Ann and Robert, stayed at home, and were most zealous in their devotion and attention to their aged mother while she was spared to be with them. The funeral took place to Wasbister Churchyard on Saturday, and was attended by a very large company from all parts of the island. Unfortunately the weather prevented her son David and family and others from being present at the funeral.
