Bha bàtaichean a-riamh glè chudromach ann an cultar eileanan na Gàidhealtachd. Tha tiotail an fhilm a' tighinn bho òran-gaoil mu 'nighinn duibh' a tha ann an dà-rìribh na bàta-siùil agus 's e seo aon sgeul mu bhàta a chaidh air na creagan is na thachair rithe.

Boats have always been an important part of the culture of the islands of the Gaidhealtachd, being praised in poetry and song. The title 'Dhèanainn Sùgradh' comes from a Gàidhlig love song about a girl sailing boat, and the film is a contemplation of the connection between people and boats. 'What do you do when a beautiful boat that you built goes on the rocks?'

The film takes us to Grimsay in Uist in search of an answer to this question, a place where boats are still built and used in everyday life. We meet a wise old fisherman and his young son, who impart their philosophy on their old wooden boats. The son shows us an imaginative repurposing that he undertook on one of the boats. This film was made as part of a project between Grimsay and Plockton in Lochalsh. Show less
