Tha fios gu bheil na se貌id math air c貌caireachd, ach tha iad a-mach 脿s an 脿bhaist an-diugh, ag ullachadh b矛dh do cheann-cinnidh a鈥 Chruinneachadh Gh脿idhealaich ann an Di霉ranais, sg矛re 脿lainn ann an ceann a tuath na h-Alba. Leis a鈥 chidsin aca a-muigh air l脿rach nan geamannan, tha iad a鈥 c貌caireachd ann an teas an t-samhraidh, le na geamannan a鈥 gabhail 脿ite mu thimcheall orra.

The lads are keen domestic cooks, but today they are well away from their comfort zone travelling to visit the Highland Gathering in scenic Durness on the north coast of Scotland, where they cook for the games Chieftain. Setting up their mobile kitchen outside at the games site, they proceed to cook in the sweltering heat, surrounded by the ongoing games. Roddy makes a special 鈥淗ighland Egg鈥 and a chocolate cake dessert while Uisdean helps, before he prepares a spectacular poached salmon with langoustines which is presented to the Chieftain, accompanied by a dram of fine whisky.
