Tha Ailean Caimbeul 's Uilleam MacRobbie a' stad aig Loch Tollaidh airson seanchas. Allan Campbell and William MacRobbie continue their tour of Gairloch, stopping at Loch Tollie.

'S ann aig Loch Tollaidh, letheach-slighe eadar Geàrrloch agus Poll Iù, a tha Ailean Caimbeul agus Uilleam MacRobbie a' stad sa phrògram an-diugh agus eachdraidh aig Uilleam mu Chlann 'ic Leòid agus 'ic Choinnich a' sabaid a chèile airson làmh an uachdair fhaighinn air oighreachd Gheàrrloich.

Tha Ailean cuideachd a' faighinn eachdraidh beatha Uilleim agus e ag innse mun chiad chuimhne a th' aige air taigh a sheanair 's a sheanmhair anns an Leathad agus a' leantainn air chun àm a chaidh e gu muir. Tha Uilleam cuideachd ag innse mar a thòisch e a' cluich a' phìob fhads a bha e a' toirt a-mach a cheàrd an Glaschu, agus e a' dearbhadh, às dèidh trì fichead bliadhna agus a deich, gun urrainn dha port math a thoirt aiste fhathast!


Allan Campbell and Willie MacRobbie are at Loch Tollie midway between Poolewe and Gairloch and Willie tells some of the history of how the Macleods of Lewis and the Mackenzie families united, and fought, over the Gairloch Estate. Allan also hears part of Willie's life story from his earliest visits to his grandparents' home in Laide to his joining the Merchant Navy as a junior engineer. Willie also describes how he started learning the pipes when serving his apprenticeship in Glasgow, and he demonstrates that over 70 years later he can still play well!

Èist ri naidheachdan, còmhradh, ceòl agus spòrs gach là, moch gu anmoch.
