Islay-born artist Heather Dewar returns to our screens with Dealbhan Fraoich. Combining the role of artist and interviewer, she creates colour portraits of well-known Gaels – while teasing out of them every little detail of their life story!  

Heather travels to Edinburgh where she meets Iagan MacNeil who has forged a successful career in the media - as journalist, newsreader and more recently in public relations. Despite having spent much of his life in the city, he remains as proud as ever of his roots in the islands, and more specifically Barra.

Tha an t-ealanaiche Fraoch Nic an Deòir à Ìle air ais le sreath ùr de Dhealbhan Fraoich. A’ tarraing  is a’ còmhradh,  nì i dealbhan dathte de Ghàidheil air a bheil sinn eòlach – a’ tarraing asda a h-uile criomag eachdraidh-beatha!

Sa phrògram seo bi Fraoch ann an Dùn Èideann a’seanchas ri Iagan MacNèill mu a shaoghal shoirbheachail sna meadhanan: bha e na fhear-naidheachd, na chraoladair naidheachdan, agus o chionn ghoirid, an sàs ann am margaidheachd is dàimh poblach. Ged a chuid e seachad cuid mhòr dhe bheatha sa bhaile mhòr, tha e cho moiteil sa bha e riamh gu bheil a fhreumhaichean sna h-eileanan, agus ann am Barraigh gu h-àraid.
