Tha Murchadh Peutan ag innse do dh' Ailean Caimbeul mu luing-bhrisidh anns an loch. Murdo Beaton describes some of the shipwrecks in the loch to Allan Campbell.

Tha Ailean Caimbeul agus Murchadh Peutan aig Heàrrlois air cladach Loch Bhràcadail san Eilean Sgitheanach agus Murchadh a' dèanamh dealbh do dh' Ailean air na tha iad a' faicinn mun cuairt orra. 

Tha e ag innse mar a chaidh an t-soitheach, Yemasee air na creagan aig Bigearaidh san Fhaoilleach 1859 ri linn gèile. Tha soithichean is eile a bh' air bòrd fhathast ri fhaicinn sa sgìre. Tha Ailean agus Murchadh an uair sin a' gluasad a dh' Orbost far a bheil dachaigh aig Jim Swire, a chaill a nighean ann an tubaist plèana PanAm103 os cionn Logarbaidh.

Allan Campbell and Murdo Beaton are at Harlosh on the shores of Loch Bracadale in Skye and Murdo describes the view of the communities on the shores of Loch Bracadale. He tells of shipwrecks along the including the sailing ship Yemasee, driven off course by a severe storm in January 1859 and wrecked on the northern shore of the Loch at Bigeary. The cargo included crockery and some items survive to this day, and the ship's binnacle survives in the church at Struan. Allan and Murdo move on to Orbost and they discuss the Swire family who have had a home there for many years, and Murdo speaks of the tragic loss of Dr Jim Swire's daughter in the PanAm 103 disaster over Lockerbie in December 1988.
