\"\"Master raconteur Norman Maclean tells the spine-tingling Gaelic tale of \u00c0iridh na h-Aon Oidhche, a local landmark<\/a> out near Rueval in Benbecula, and reveals how it got its name.<\/p>\n

He relates the story for Mary Morrison<\/a>, an enthusiastic community participant in the Island Voices project.\u00a0 Mary got some other gems during her brief visit with Norman, and she has already displayed her talent for using traditional tales as a basis for imaginative drama work<\/a> with schools and in the community. We can surely look forward to seeing some interesting and entertaining follow-ups to this very valuable groundwork…<\/p>\n
