'S ann an Uilfhinis agus san t-Sruthan a tha Ailean Caimbeul agus Murchadh Peutan an-diugh

'S ann an Uilfhinis agus san t-Sruthan a tha Ailean Caimbeul agus Murchadh Peutan an-diugh. The villages of Ullinish and Struan in Skye are on Allan Campbell's itinerary today.

Am baile Uilfhinis tha Murchadh Peutan a' toirt sùil timcheall agus ag innse do dh'Ailean Caimbeul mu na daoine air a bheil cuimhne aige fhèin sa bhaile agus mar a thadhail Johnson agus Boswell air an àite nuair a bha iad air an turas. Às a sin tha Murchadh a' toirt Ailein chun Dun Bheag agus a' mìneachadh eachdraidh an an ionaid sin dha. A thuilleadh air a sin tha Murchadh dha thoirt dhan t-Sruthan chun Charragh-cuimhne Cogaidh a th 'aca sa sgìre agus ag innse mar a chuidich an t-airgead a tha a' choimhearsnachd a' faighinn bhon tuath-gaoithe sa sgìre leis an leasachadh a rinn iad air a' charragh-cuimhne. 


Allan Campbell and Murdo Beaton are at Ullinish and Murdo describes the village and recalls some local characters who were there when he was young. He comments on Ullinish Lodge which is now a hotel, and which was visited by Johnston and Boswell on their tour of the Hebrides. Allan and Murdo travel the short distance from Ullinish to the ancient broch site at Dun Beag and Murdo describes the site and comments on its antiquity. Travelling a short distance to the village of Struan Allan and Murdo visit the War Memorial and Murdo describes how community funds earned from a local wind farm enabled the refurbishment of the memorial.
