Antoinette Castonguay, Pierre Benoît, Huguette Aubin et Pierre Castonguay visitent la maison ancestrale de Glen-Nevis. Pierre en profite pour raconter (avec difficulté mais avec motivation) la légende d'Allan ''Bratt'' MacDonald enterré avec son violon. La légende raconte qu'il qui joue la jigue qu'il a composé à minuit chaque soir de novembre en bordure du cimetière de Glen-Nevis.Le vidéo comporte des photos de la visite de Sylvie Castonguay, fille de Réal, fils d'Alexandre il y a cinq ans chez les Allan et de la récente visite d'Antoinette et Pierre Castonguay en décembre 2011, chez les Nielson. Pierre Castonguay remercie les propriétaires actuels pour leur accueil chaleureux malgré cette visite improvisée. À noter la plaque de datation de la maison au dessus du foyer. Cette maison a d'abord servi de poste d'arrivée des voyageurs avant d'être une maison de ferme familiale. Plusieurs immigrants écossais des High Lands y ont transité.
