Episode 2

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. Some of the reports highlighted include the origins of fish farming on the West coast, the beginning of the RET debate for travelling on ferries, murmurs in the 1980s questioning whether the Comunn Gàidhealach was old-fashioned and a report on the future for Scalpay, as the fishing industry decline started to affect the island.
