    Good find, very interesting!

    Here's the same film but with some informative subtitles & supertitles.



    Looking at Google Earth, it is possible to identify many of the houses in this film, including John MacInnes's. All the old blackhouses are now roofless and abandoned.

    All these waulking songs are making me homesick. Glad I'm heading there next week!
