Summary

How Fionnlagh na Plaide Bàine got a cow from MacLeod in exchange for reapers who had killed Fionnlagh's calf.

Fionnlagh na Plaide Bàine from Galtrigill came home from fishing to find that MacLeod's reapers had killed his calf to eat it. He tied the twelve of them up, put them over his shoulder and threw them in a boat. He told MacLeod what had happened and he gave him the finest cow in Dunvegan in return for their freedom.
