I can’t embed, but, I am always checking the BBC website for new history programs and the like, and to my great surprise, somewhere above a show about court life with Richard II, was a picture of my hometown.  I did a double take, for sure.  It was a link to a documentary following Barra folk around Cape Breton, from BBC Alba.  What a delightful surprise!  They all stay in Mabou (with the nuns!), and I got to see familiar faces, like that of my high school history teacher, above.  Margie was a fine teacher, and is a great champion of culture.  

You may enjoy if you’re from the area!  Just passing along.
