Philippa! I would love to see the "Polly" song you know off, Having a Mother born and raised in Ludag, I've grown up with all the tales, but that's the only song I know off conserning the Ship. As far as I'm aware the Viking long boat is in the shallows between South Uist and Benbecula. It was cought on the sands at low tide, when you can walk across from one island to the next. People have reported sightings of a Long Ship sailing up the sounds, but that could be the uisge beatha talking. And Gareth, as far as Barra is conserned, well, we will not go into that on such a nice web site!?! 8)

All the best
