On a windswept northern shore, at the tip of what will one day become Scotland, the islanders believe the worst they have to fear is a Viking attack. Then the burning comes. They cannot run from it. Water will not stop it. It consumes everything in its path - yet the burned speak. The Doctor is looking for a game on the famous Lewis chess set.
