Summary

Information about the year of the potato blight.

Loch Sgrìodain used to be called Loch Leamhain. The people living on the north side of the loch left in the year of the potato blight. The potatoes wouldn't cook and people lived on gruel and fish. People left the Ross of Mull for America, but many died on the way.
