Episode 11

Presenter Donald Morrison takes a nostalgic look through the archive of the popular Gaelic current affairs series Cearcall. In the original series transmitted in the late 1970s and the 1980s, presenters Angela MacEachan, Murdo F Macleod and Martin MacDonald covered a variety of stories. This episode features several reports, notable among them how the community in Knoydart were unhappy with the news that the Ministry of Defence were planning to buy the local estate and use it to train soldiers. The second report features the port of Mallaig, with Angela MacEachen looking at the implications to local businesses of west coast ferries no longer stopping there. The final feature investigated the impact the closure of the pulp mill at Corpach had on forestry in the region.
