Peigi MacIver from Knock Carloway composed this song for a young girl, Kirsteen MacLeod, who was killed along with her parents in a fire in their home on Pentland Road, Carloway, in November 1988. In the song Peigi commemorates Kirsteen’s beauty and personality and tells of the community’s grief at the accident.
