Summary

A band of strong men thrown out of a house in Lochmaddy by Iain Bàn.

At one time, bands of strong men went from place to place and the people of the place where they went ashore had to provide for them until they left of their own free will or were moved on by a stronger band. This happened at Taigh Chearsabhagh, Lochmaddy. After a long period, the lady in the house had to send for a strong man called Iain Bàn, who threw the men out of the house.
