Summary
A song of praise to Uist. There the poet would see the young men skilfully carrying out the croft work. Wise old men dispense advice to the young. The women are kind, proud and hard-working. A stranger would be made welcome amongst them. The poet bids farewell to his family and to his beloved island.
