Ailean Caimbeul ag innse mun Skye Clarion agus mu dhà chladh a th' anns an t-Sruthan. Allan Campbell recalls the Skye Clarion news sheet and visits two cemeteries in Struan.

Cha bhiodh iomradh air baile an t-Sruthain ceart gun bruidhinn air Alasdair Uilleam MacNeacail, neo Ali Willie mar a b' eòlaich daoin' air, a steìdhich an iris-naidheachd a Skye Clarion, agus iomadach ghnìomhachas eile, agus tha e a' tachairt ri Iain Aonghas MacCusbaig aig a bheil cuimhne air Ali Willie san t-Sruthan Beag bho òige.

Tha Murchadh Peutan a' coinneachadh ri Ailean aig lag eachdraidheil os cionn an t-Sruthain Bhig faisg air cladh ùr na sgìre agus ag innse dha mar a bhiodh searmoinean dhan cumail air a' làraich a tha seo. Tha Iain Aonghas, a th' air sgrùdadh a dhèanamh air seann chladh an t-Sruthain, ag innse do dh'Ailean beagan mu eachdraidh inntinneach an t-seann chlaidh. 


Allan Campbell is at Struan and recalls the enterprising former local businessman who founded and ran the Skye Clarion news sheet for 6 years in the 1950s with John Angus MacCusbic. Murdo Beaton and Allan visit the new Struan Cemetery and Murdo describes how the site was once used for open-air religious services and later for cattle sales. At Struan's old cemetery at Balgown John Angus MacCusbic describes some of its ancient history and its various names over the centuries. He also tells how seating and a communion table were formed from turf to accommodate the huge numbers attending services in the early 19th century, when the existing church was too small to accommodate them.
