In the summer of 2021, while I was listening to recollections and tales about Iain Lom in Brae Lochaber, I came across something intriguing. I started by visiting the site of the bard’s home with locals from the area, and then I realised that there was still folklore about the bard and others that lived in the 17th century there—and that it was well worth awakening and investigating this knowledge. This is research that is still being gathered, as it is a pastime of leisure and fireside conversation.
