Se Tiriodh an t-eilean as fhaide an iar anns na h-eileanan a-staigh.  Ged nach eil ach timcheall air 650 neach a’ fuireach ann làn ùine, se àite trang a th’ann as t-samhradh nuair a tha mòran luchd-turais a’ tadhal.

Tha’n t-òran ag radh gu re Tiriodh an t-eilean as bòidhche bhon ghrèin agus se eilean àlainn a th’ann gun teagamh. Tha e air a chuartachadh le machraichean is tràighean brèagha agus tha tòrr dhiofar eòin is fiadhbheatha ri’m faicinn ann. Anns na bliadhnaichean mu dheireadh, tha’n t-eilean air cliù a chosnadh mar àite air leth airson surfadh.

Anns a chiad phrògram, se àm trang a th’ann dha Alasdair MacAonghais agus a mhac Iain agus 400 caora aca ri’n rùsgadh, tha Fèis Thiriodh a’ gabhail àite air an eilean agus tha sinn a’ coinneachadh Rhoda Meek a th’air tòrr ionnsachadh mu chroitearachd bho ghluais i a Thiriodh.

Tiree is the most westerly island in the Inner Hebrides. It is approximately 12 miles long and five miles wide and has a population of around 650. Surrounded by sandy beaches and with an abundance of birds and wildlife, it’s a popular destination for summer visitors. Its exposed location on the Atlantic also makes it a favourite place for windsurfers and the Tiree Wave Classic - the longest-running professsional windsurfing event in the world - is held on the island every autumn.

Filmed over a six-month period in 2019, the series follows the stories of Tiristich (Tiree islanders) as we find out what it’s like to live and work on the island.

In this episode, it’s sheep-shearing time for father and son Alastair and Iain Macinnes, annual music tuition festival the Tiree Fèis is held on the island, the weather is perfect for paddleboarding, and it’s a busy day for new crofter Rhoda Meek.
