Cluinnear an toiseach sa phrògam Calum MacNeacail, nach maireann, à Gead an t-Saillear le 'S e do Bheath gu d' thìr Fhèin. Tha Ailean agus Eòin aig Caisteal Dhùn Thuilm agus tha Eòin ag aithris eachdraidh an àite agus ag innse mar a dh' fheuch Ùisdean Mac'IlleEasbai' Chlèirich ri cur às do Dhòmhnall Gorm Mòr Ceann Feadhna nan Dòmhnallach. Cluinnear Alasdair MacLeòid ag aithris mar a chaidh Ùisdean a chur an grèim agus cur às dha. Cluinnear cuideachd mar a ghluais na Dòmhnallaich gu ruige Mongastad. Tha Eardsaidh Mòr MacNeacail a' stiùireadh Ailean air adhart seachad air Bùth a' Cheannaiche gu ruige Cille Mo Luaig.

The programme opens with an archive recording of the late Calum Nicolson singing a tribute to a Macdonald Chief returning to Duntulm Castle. Jonathan MacDonald describes specific locations at Duntulm Castle and tells how justice was administered by the Macdonald Chiefs. He tells how a kinsman of a Macdonald Chief built his own Castle (Caisteal Ùisdean) and how he plotted to murder the Chief. Discovering what was being planned the Chief pursued and imprisoned his kinsman Ùisdean in the Duntulm Castle dungeon where he eventually died of thirst. 
Allan is also joined by Flodigarry crofter Archie Nicolson who guides him through Duntulm towards Kilmaluag.
