A' dol tro bhailtean Ghrealain, Lianacro 's Cille Bhacastair. Le Ailean Caimbeul. Allan Campbell, Jonathan Macdonald and Iain Mackenzie in Grealain, Linicro and Kilvaxter.

Tha Ailean a' cluinntinn bho Eòin Dòmhnallach agus Iain MacChoinnich mar a chaidh Grealainn fhuadach agus beagan de dh' eachdraidh fharsaing Chille Bhacastair eadar taigh-talmhainn mòr, Uaimh an Òir, agus a cheangal ris an Eaglais Bhaisteach ann an Canada. Tha Iain MacChoinnich ag ainmeachadh mòran de na seallaidhean a chithear. 

Jonathan MacDonald and John Mackenzie guide Allan Campbell through the cleared village of Grealain in the parish of Kilmuir in Skye. They pass through Linicro (Lianacro) once noted for its flax crops, and they arrive in Kilvaxter (Cille Bhacastair). Allan hears about a souterrain in the village; and the legend of Uamh an Òir (The cave of gold); Clan Donald's famed MacArthur pipers; some of the story of Flora MacDonald and Prince Charles Edward Stuart; and the village connection with the Baptist Church in Canada.

John Mackenzie names some of the place names visible from Bornesketaig (Borgh na Sgiotaig).

Èist ri naidheachdan, còmhradh, ceòl agus spòrs gach là, moch gu anmoch.
