Shambles: I'm only making one point, and it's a very narrow, and possibly pedantic one. The fact that lining-out is practised on the Isle of Lewis in 2005 does not prove that it wasnt practised anywhere else in 1740; it doesnt even suggest it.

For what it is worth - we are now in complete agreement. It is a very narrow and possibly pedantic one...*Smiles*

BTW did you ever manage to see the rest of the programme?
