Cuide ri bhith air an rathad leis a’ chòmhlan, tha sinn a’ cur seachad ùine còmhla ri na balaich aig an taigh, airson faighinn a-mach barrachd mu càite dha-rìribh an do thòisich an sgeulachd acasan. 
Dealbh inntinneach agus beòthail mu mar a tha triùir bhalaich à Steòrnabhagh air ainm a dhèanamh dhaibh pèin tro bhith cluich a’ chiùil air a bheil iad fhèin cho dèidheil bhon dachaigh aca ann an Eilean Leòdhais.
