Summary
Alasdair Mòr walked 58 miles in less than 24 hours to get flour.
There was a flour shortage. The first day, Alasdair Mòr went to two shops in Lochskiport but they had no flour. He took home a stone of biscuits. In the small hours of the following morning, he went to the shop in Lochboisdale but they had no flour either. From there he continued on to Donald Ferguson where he got five stones of flour. He walked home with the flour on his back. That made a total of 58 miles altogether in less than 24 hours.
