		When on the eve of leaving Benbecula, Charles despatched Donald Macleod in Campbell's boat, which he still retained, to the mainland, with letters to Lochiel and Secretary Murray, desiring to know how affairs stood, and requesting that a supply of cash and brandy might be sent to him.

		They landed about two hours before day break, and were conducted by Donald Macleod to the house of Donald Campbell, a farmer, know to Macleod, to whom they were introduced as merchants shipwrecked on their voyage to the Orkneys.

		Much like his namesake, Christ has been shrouded with the kind of mystery and rumour-mongering that’s worthy of the richest Greek mythology, no one really knowing where he’s come from and why it is that his name has so often been linked with the Torquoise ones.
		What followed was a slew of press speculation about his origins and his musical background in Scotland, as well as a gradual frenzy of anticipation for his debut EP “Pylonesque”.

		Not a new concept but there is a big push towards the "pop" format which augres well for the genre.
