Episode 709 (Monday 22nd January 1990)

 * SYNOPSIS: More and more people are inviting themselves to the girls night out. There seem to be problems brewing between Claire and Inverdarroch, as she appears to be having an affair with Sneddon

Plot
People continue to invite themselves to Isabel's planned night out, including Gladys, Carol, Mrs Woods and even Mrs Mack! Mairi and Lynne argue about it just as Fergus walks in with the post. This prompts Fergus to take a sarcastic remark about 'inviting every woman in the village' literally, and this leads Fergus to gossip with others about it. Meanwhile, Eric is determined to finis the wall properly but is still struggling. Help comes along however in the form of Hugh Robbie (Joseph Greig). Eric is defensive with him at first, but has a change of heart when he realises Eric is both highly knowledgable about how to stabilise the wall, and genuine in his intention to help Eric. Although both Hugh and Joanna are doubutful, Eric is determined to have the wall finished by tomorrow night. But will he succeed? Elsewhere, things remain tense between Tom/Inverdarroch and Claire. Inverdarroch finally apologises to Morag, but she accepts only reluctantly. Later, it is clear there are feelings between Claire and Sneddon. The episode ends with the two of them kissing romantically on a bridge.
