Chan eil aithreachas sam bith air Ealasaid gun dh'fhàg i fhèin 's a teaghlach Uibhist.

Fad bhliadhnaichean, bha beatha chruaidh aig Ealasaid ‘s a teaghlach ach chan eil aithreachas oirre gun dh’fhàg iad.
Elizabeth has no regrets about leaving her old life.

Ann an 1923 dh’fhàg dà bhàta-smùide, an SS Marloch agus an SS Metagama na h-Eileanan an Iar airson Canada. Thàinig an t-sreath seo bho na cuimhneachain aig cuid dhen fheadhainn a bha air bòrd.  Anns a’ phrògram seo tha Ealasaid a’ coimhead air ais air na bliadhnaichean cruaidhe a bh’ aig an teaghlach, ach chan eil aithreachas sam bith oirre gun dh'fhàg iad.
In 1923, the SS Marloch and the SS Metagama left the Western Isles for Canada with nearly 600 emigrants on board. This series is inspired by memories of some of those people. In this episode, Elizabeth talks about the tough years for her family, but she has no regrets about leaving their old life.
