Episode 72

The girls merrily skip down to the waterfront. If it wasn't so busy and the beach was sandy instead of rocky, it would be perfect for sunbathing and relaxing, with a suitable sunscreen of course! Alas, it cannot be! 

However, there is still plenty to do. As always, the girls have opposing views as to where they should continue on their travels. Sìleas fancies staying in Oban. She has heard that shinty is the most popular sport in Oban and she'd like to watch a game to see what it's all about. Marsaili, of course, is interested in historical places – and she does not even know where to start feeding her interests. It's all too exciting! She finally decides that she would like to go to Iona where there is history to be found in every abandoned slab.

Marsaili: “Camanachd no Eilean Ì. Chan eil taghadh sam bith ann nam bheachd-sa!” (Shinty or Iona. There is no choice in my opinion.)
