  For someone that is disabled like myself I love watching someone do these things I no I’ll never do but to see someone else do them make me happy

  Hi Ruth, I live on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia and some of the people who were &apos;cleared&apos; from Canna in the early 1800s came to our area -- a family of MacDonalds here are known as the &apos;Cannaich&apos; MacDonalds. We were in Scotland last summer and bought John Lorne Campbell&apos;s book. He and his wife made many visits to Nova Scotia and Cape Breton collecting Gaelic songs here that survived among the descendants of the Canna, Eigg, Rum and Hebridean people. What a beautiful tour you gave -- informative and delightful, and thanks for all the hiking you do to show us the places you visit.

  Ripping! This episode had it all: train, ferry, camp, Gaelic, seaweed salad, puffins, a band, churches, a castle.

  Such a nice trip down memory lane for me! As a young lad my family sailed the Western Isles every year and Canna was always a favourite place to visit. The first time we anchored there, maybe when I was 10 or 12, John Lorne Campbell came alongside our boat to gift us a couple of fine crabs he had caught.<br>The following day we were walking ashore and he invited us into his house where we met his wife Margaret, and after a fabulous afteroon tea she showed us her butterfly collection and many more interesting items. Yes, even as a youngster I was deeply moved by all this and I still have a fondness for that beautiful island, 60 years on.

  Ruth, Ruth, Ruth -- sheesh! &nbsp;Just about every place you go in Scotland gets added to my &quot;I&apos;m going to retire *HERE*&quot; list! &nbsp;So many of these places are charming, out of the way, calm and quiet, but at the same time welcoming....
