  1. My Native Village is called Prizon. It is a valley situated between two hills. One hill is called Shieve Cáirn and the other is called Fear-Bréaga. This village is divided in two parts, the new village and the old. The houses in the old are built about seventy or eighty years, and the houses in the new are built about fifteen years. This village contains about 27 houses and about 125 people.
