Tha Ailean a' cluinntinn bho E貌in D貌mhnallach agus Iain MacChoinnich mar a chaidh Grealainn fhuadach agus beagan de dh' eachdraidh fharsaing Chille Bhacastair eadar taigh-talmhainn m貌r, Uaimh an 脪ir, agus a cheangal ris an Eaglais Bhaisteach ann an Canada. Tha Iain MacChoinnich ag ainmeachadh m貌ran de na seallaidhean a chithear.

Allan hears about a souterrain in the village; and the legend of Uamh an 脪ir (The cave of gold); Clan Donald's famed MacArthur pipers; some of the story of Flora MacDonald and Prince Charles Edward Stuart; and the village connection with the Baptist Church in Canada.

John Mackenzie names some of the place names visible from Bornesketaig (Borgh na Sgiotaig).
