Tha dlùth dhàimh air a bhith aig muinntir eilean Ghriomasaigh ann an Uibhist a Tuath ri Heisgeir, buidheann bheag de dh'eileanan torrach ann am meadhan cuain a tha a cheart cho torrach, còig mìle gun iar air Uibhist a Tuath - gu sònraichte tro iasgach. Tha eachdraidh inntinneach nan lùib, agus ged nach robh duine a' fuireach ann bho na tricheadan, 's e ceangal maireannach a th'ann chun an là an-diugh.

Tha Hamish Mac an Tàilleir às na Hearadh, a bha na iasgair na òige agus a thadhal gu tric air Heisgeir, a' gabhail cuairt dha na h-eileanan sònraichte seo le cuid aig a bheil dlùth cheangal dha na h-eileanan, nam measg Pàdruig Moireasdan. Bha planaichean inntinneach, adhartach aig a sheanair fuireach agus bith-beò a dhèanamh ann an Heisgeir as ùr sna ceathradan. Coinnichidh Hamish cuideachd ri Aonghas Dòmhnallach a rugadh air Heisgeir, agus beachdaichidh e air dè tha fa-near dhan àite iongantach seo a-nise.

There is a very special bond between Grimisay in North Uist and the Monach Isles, a group of fertile machair islands surrounded by an equally bounteous sea, five miles west of North Uist - particularly through fishing. They have a fascinating history, and although they've been uninhabited since the 1930s, it's a connection that continues to this day.

Hamish Taylor from Harris, who fished in his younger days and who visited Heisger often, goes to these unique islands, accompanied by others who have strong ties with the islands, among them Pàdruig Morrison. His grandfather had big plans to resettle Heisgeir and make a living there in the 1940s.

Hamish also meets Angus MacDonald who was born in Heisgeir, and he'll also explore what the future holds for this extraordinary place. Show less
