Catriona MacPhee and Donald MacSween with highlights of the International Sheepdog Trials.

It is the third and final day of the International Sheepdog Trials, and presenters Catriona MacPhee and Donald MacSween are in the Scottish Borders to present the highlights.

An treas latha dhen Fharpais Eadar-nàiseanta Chon-chaorach, agus tha aire air an t-Sàr Fharpais. Tha an luchd-lìbhrigidh air ais leis a' chuid as fheàrr de na thachair agus crìoch na farpais.

Tha am prògram mu dheireadh dhen t-sreath gar toirt gu crìch na farpais eadar-nàiseanta; an t-Sàr Churaidheachd. Tha cùisean gu math doirbh air an latha mu dheireadh le meallan troma a' ciallachadh gu robh e doirbh dha na coin a bhith a' cluinntinn na feadaige agus na bha na cìobairean ag ràdh bho cheann eile an raoin mhòir far an robh iad. Ged bha iomadh cnap-starra ann, choilean an Sasannach Ricky Hutchinson agus an cù aige Sweep cuairt mhìorbhuileach. Am biodh seo math gu leòr airson an t-Sàr Churaidheachd a bhuinnig?

A bharrachd air na dealbhan bhon fharpais fhèin, tha ar neach-aithris Evelyn Coull a' tadhal air Oilthigh Swansea a choinneachadh ris an Ollamh Anndra King, bi-eòlaiche a tha air a bhith a' rannsachadh mar a tha caoraich a' cruinneachadh. Bidh e a' mìneachadh toraidhean an rannsachaidh!

Tha Dòmhnall air sgrìob e fhèin gu Carlow ann an Èireann a choinneach ri dithis bhràithrean a chuir an ceòl air feadh na fìdhle air an eadar-lìon nuair a chleachd iad dròn, air an tug iad Shep, mar chù-chaorach. Tha Dòmhnall a' meòrachadh air na dh'fhaodadh seo a bhith a' ciallachadh son a bhith a' cròthadh chaoraich anns na bliadhnaichean romhainn.

It's day three of the International Sheepdog Trials. Presenters Donald and Catriona bring the best of
the action from the climax of the competition, the Supreme Championship. The conditions on this final day are challenging, with heavy rain making it difficult for the dogs to hear commands across the vast course.

As well as the trial action, Evelyn Coull visits the University of Swansea to meet Dr Andrew King, a bioscientist who has researched the science of sheep-herding. His findings will be revealed!

Presenter Donald visits Carlow in Ireland to meet two brothers who took the internet by storm with a video filmed by their sheep-herding drone, Shep. Donald finds out what this means for the future of sheep-herding.
