Four costumed interpreters sit around a long wooden table inside a historic room, laughing while participating in a traditional milling frolic (luadh). They are gathered closely, using their hands to rhythmically pull and bunch a large piece of cream-colored woven wool cloth across the surface of the slatted table. In the background, the room features white walls with red window trim, a spinning wheel, and wooden shelving.
