A week in the life of those living in the Highland village of Newtonmore in 1978.

BBC Alba delves into the archive to follow a week in the life of those living in the Highland village of Newtonmore during a week in September 1978.

Bha an t-sreath A Diary of Britain ag amas air sealladh a thoirt air dòigh-beatha grunn choimhearsnachdan air feadh Bhreatainn tro sheachdain ann an 1978. Tha Shinty Town a' toirt dealbh dhuinn air beatha muinntir Bhail' Ùr an t-Slèibh aig àm nuair a bhathas ag obair a' togail seach-rathad an A9. Tha sinn a' coinneachadh ri cuid den luchd-obrach a bha an sàs anns a' phròiseact agus tha sinn cuideachd a' faighinn a-mach dè mar a tha dol do sgioba iomain a' bhaile. 

A Diary of Britain filmed a week in the life of 15 communities throughout the UK during 1978. Shinty Town profiles those living in the Inverness-shire village of Newtonmore during September 1978, at a time when the A9 bypass was being built. We meet some of those working on the bypass and hear the villagers' hopes and fears for the development. The programme also profiles the local shinty team.
