Summary

Iain Buidhe Eachainn and the Assynt men.

A local boy was courting an Assynt girl. A group of friends went with him to ask for her hand. They waited at the Assynt inn for the girl's party. The men there were teasing them about which side would be stronger. When the Assynt folk arrived, Iain Buidhe Eachainn shook each person's hand and squeezed the blood out of their fingertips.
