The Ailean an toiseach a' cluinntinn mu eachdraidh 脪ran a' Mhotor-Car. An uair sin tha Ailean agus E貌in D貌mhnallach ann an seann chladh Chille Mhoire aig R猫ilig Mh貌r nan D貌mhnallach agus uaigh Fhionnghal NicDh貌mhnaill. Cluinnear sgeulachd bho Alasdair Macle貌id mu st猫idh na cloiche. Cluinnear beagan mu ph矛obairean ainmeil Chlann 'IcArtair, agus tha Ailean is E貌in cuideachd a' tadhal air r猫ilig Mh脿rtainnich a' Bhealaich agus aig cuimhneachan Alasdair MhicCuinn anns a' chladh 霉r.

Allan Campbell hears of the first car to appear in Trotternish. Jonathan MacDonald tells of the many historical religious settlements in the area; the "Duns" (forts) which pre-dated these; and he also tells the legend of Arcol, the last Norse monk to inhabit the island on Loch Chaluim Chille.(Columba's Loch).
Allan and Jonathan then visit the old cemetery at Kilmuir and the respective memorials of Flora MacDonald; Charles MacArthur; the Martins of Bealach; and the modern memorial to star fashion designer Alexander MacQueen.
