Summary
In olden times, the MacNeils of Barra would send their children to a college on the Isle of Man. On one occasion, whilst they were returning home, they were enveloped in a thick fog. Eventually, they came to Berneray, and proceeded to Barra. MacNeil's watchman almost killed the ship's crew and MacNeil himself by accident, by firing on them with the great gun at Kisimul Castle.
