Summary

One day, a bully appeared at Dunvegan Castle and demanded that MacLeod pay him a certain fee if he could not find a person who was stronger than he himself. MacLeod sent for Iain Garbh, a man who never paid his rent. He came, and MacLeod, through trickery, managed to make him kill the bully.
