Actually, I think Eilean Siar should probably be Na h-Eileanan an Iar
(Western Isles). The name of the council is called Comhairle nan Eilean
Siar, where Comhairle clearly = "council".

The ward includes Harris (Na Hearadh) and part of southern Lewis.

So what are: the council, the name of the council, and what the
council is called? [Thanks to Rev C. L. Dodgson for drawing general
attention to these distinctions.]

:) The annoying thing about this is that I added "called" as what I
thought was a correction. I think "The name of" must have been on the
previous line, and I'd forgotten it was there by the time I made the change.
