Excerpt from The History of the Morison or Morrison Family: With Most of the "Traditions of the Morrisons" (Clan Mac Ghillemhuire), Hereditary Judges of Lewis, by Capt. F. W. L. Thomas, of Scotland, and a Record of the Descendants of the Hereditary Judges to 1880

After breakfast next day, when Seaforth and his suite were pre paring to leave, Seaforth put on the scabbard with, as he thought, the broken sword, muttering some words about breaking it. John Morrison then said that even here, in Bragar, the sword could be repaired and made better than ever. Well, said Seaforth, if you could get my sword mended and tempered so as to stand the proper trial, I would give you this year's rent of Bragar down. John Morrison replied, Let us see the pieces and be thinking about it. Seaforth drew forth his sword, and, looking at it with astonishment, he remarked, that though he had passed the night in bed, that they, the Morrisons, had not taken their wonted rest.
