:05:49
Does it mean gone over there?
:05:51
Many died that way, hunting for eggs
or after the sheep.
:05:56
Sooner or later a rope frayed
or a foot slipped.
:06:00
It became a word for death
on the island.
:06:02
- It's a nasty-Iooking place.
- Aye. It is.
:06:14
- What's wrong, Andrew?
- The hills of Scotland.
:06:18
It's a rare thing
to see them from Hirta.
:06:21
- The old men used to say...
- What?
:06:24
That it meant bad luck
to see the hills.
:06:26
And it's true.
I've only seen them once before.
:06:29
There were three of us then...
:06:38
It's the Sabbath today.
:06:40
And a fine summer morning.
:06:44
Ten years ago, you'd have seen all
the folk on their way to the kirk.
:06:49
The men in black,
:06:51
and the women neat and bonny,
:06:54
and young John Eisbister
standing by the gate.
:06:59
The bell would be ringing.
