Summary

Strongmen in Arisaig and Moidart.

The contributor says that Raghnall mac Ailein Òig was very strong, but Iain Lom Ghaoideil from Arisaig even stronger. The strongest was A. A. Cameron's grandfather. When a cart-load of peat stuck in boggy ground, and the horse couldn't pull it out, he put himself between the trams of the cart instead of the horse, and dragged it clear.
