Summary

The 1745 Rebellion.

Cailean MacLean talks about the Battle of Culloden and its aftermath. He gives information about MacMeanmna's touring production of the songs and stories of the '45. He discusses misconceptions about what happened - there were Gaels on both sides. Morag Macleod talks about how people have a skewed picture of events and about the Uist people's great interest in the '45. Duncan MacDonald of Peninerine told Alan Lomax "he was our own Prince." Donald Joseph MacKinnon said he didn't mean the same to Lewis and Harris folk. Cailean talks about the time the Prince spent on Uist and about Neil MacEachen, who helped the Prince greatly.
