About this episode
The Scottish Clan MacLeod is an old, highly regarded family with a history going back over 700 years. Their traditional seat of power is Castle Dunvegan. Inside the castle lie not one, not two, but three different heirlooms of the MacLeod Clan. These are the Fairy Flag, the Dunvegan Cup, and Sir Rory Mor's Horn. Each has their own legendary - even magical - histories. This is the story of the Heirlooms of Dunvegan.
