on the island.

- 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

I've only seen them once before.
:06:29
There were three of us then...
:06:38
It's the Sabbath today.
:06:40

Ten years ago, you'd have seen all
the folk on their way to the kirk.
:06:49
The men in black,

standing by the gate.

The bell would be ringing.

(Bell continues to ring)
