Summary

Tale of a strong family and an invitation to fight.

A Grimsay man came to the public house in Lochmaddy to see the Berneray man who had been fighting with his brother. However, Ailig Dhòmhnaill Òig, a strong man, was there and told the Grimsay man he wouldn't have a wasted journey, at which the latter fled.

The contributor recites a verse by Malcolm MacAskill, as if said by Ailig when his family went to Canada.
