Neighbour to the Colindale MacPhee’s, Angus MacLean’s farm
overlooks the Northumberland Strait. The left and back of the house, the
high knoll would be called a fairy mound in Scotland but unlike the old
country, even when fairies are affirmed as existing, they are seldom
accorded physical living spaces.

Tha bail’ Aonghais Mhic GillEathain, laimh ri Cloinn a’Phì an Dail
Chailein, a’coimhead amach air caolas Northumberland. Air chùl an
tighe air an laimh chlì, tha cnoc biorach ris an canadh iad ‘sìthein’ an
Albainn. Ach, ao-coltach ris an t-Seann Dùthaich, chan fhaigh na
sìthichean àiteachan còmhnaidh ach ainneamh an seo, eadhoin ged a
bhiodh daoine creidsinn annta.
