Donald Macsween, or Sweeny as he is best known, is back with a 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. 

The whole country is in lockdown and Sweeny is adjusting and working out how to keep the croft going during these challenging times. With no camera crew permitted to visit for now, he is also getting to grips with self-shooting. Good news arrives amongst the chaos in the form of a new calf being born. Sweeny is also very excited about the opportunity to put the polycrub into use during lambing, and he receives more good news, which will make a big difference to life on the croft in Ness for the year ahead.
