a game in which a player bends, putting his head in the lap of another player who proceeds to blindfold him. The player then puts his hand on his bent back palm uppermost and is slapped by one of the other participants whom he has to guess. A book or slipper was used for the slapping. In Skye the game was known as ‘ultan’ or ‘altan’.
