Tha Dòmhnall MacSuain no Sweeny mar as fheàrr a dh’ aithnichear e air ais le sreath ùr shònraichte air an lot ann an Nis ’s sinn ga leantainn bho thoiseach na bliadhna agus tro àm a’ ghlasaidh, a’ faicinn mar a tha suidheachadh a’ choronabhìorais air buaidh a thoirt air a’ bheatha na chroitear làn ùine.

Ann am prògram a h-aon, tha sinn a’ faicinn a’ chiad pholycrub a’ dol an àirde, air an robh dàil aig deireadh na bliadhna an-uiridh air sgàth na droch shìde. Tha Sweeny a’ falbh gu tuathanachas Leanach ann an Cùil Lodair far a bheil na caoraich aige air a bhith a’ geamhrachadh, agus tha naidheachd a’ choronabhìorais air fhoillseachadh, le fathannan gu bheil glasadh sluaigh air fàire. Ciamar a tha Sweeny fhèin a’ faireachdainn mun chùis agus dè tha an dàn dha anns na seachdainean a tha air thoiseach air?

Donald Macsween or Sweeny as he is best known is back with a brand new special series from his croft in Ness, as we follow him from the beginning of the year and into lockdown, getting his thoughts on how the coronavirus has impacted him in his job as a full time crofter.

In episode one, we see the assembly of the first polycrub, which was delayed at the end of last year due to the harsh winter weather. Sweeny heads to Leanach Farm in Culloden where his sheep have been wintering, and news of the coronavirus hits, with rumours that the country might go into lockdown. How does Sweeny feel about the situation and what do the weeks ahead hold for him?
