Summary
MacLeod of Raasay's boat sunk by witches.
MacLeod of Raasay returned from a raid on Lochaber to find all his cattle had been taken by MacQueen of Lewis, who was married to his sister. He went to Lewis to bring back the cattle and MacQueen's head. MacQueen took off when he saw the boat coming. MacLeod made a bargain with his sister; he took their son and left MacQueen alone. On the way back he was drowned when the boat was sunk by witches in the form of crows.
