Summary

The unmarried daughter of MacDonald of Clanranald had a boy child.

The grieve was innocent but was imprisoned for fathering MacDonald of Clanranald's daughter's child. He escaped from prison and went to the house of a 'friend' to get a boat. His 'friend' made a hole in the boat and went to tell MacDonald that he had escaped. The grieve caught up with him and killed him at Abhainn nan Cnàmh. The grieve mended the boat and went to Arisaig.

The son grew up and went to Arisaig to find his father. The boy and the grieve went back together to MacDonald and he had to tell the boy who his true father was.
