Ramsay MacMahon goes for a hike with Norman MacLeod. Ramsay MacMahon a’falbh air chuairt cuide ri Tormod MacLeòid.


Ramsay MacMahon is in Glen Lee, Angus, with journalist and newsreader Norman MacLeod. Hiking to the Falls of Unich, Norman looks back on a lifelong career in broadcasting and his upbringing in Scalpay in the Western Isles. 

Against the backdrop of Loch Lee, Norman discusses the challenges of live television and what he has learnt over the years. He reflects on the history of Scalpay and opens up about personal loss and health.

Norman shares how he has settled on the east coast, but that the pull of home and Scalpay still exists. This far south-east corner of the Cairngorms though offers him tranquillity and an escape from the stresses of life.   

Tha Ramsay MacMahon air chuairt tro Gleann Lì ann an sgìre Aonghais còmhla ris an leughadair naidheachd Tormod MacLeòid. A’coiseachd gu ruige Eas Aonaich tha Tormod a’ beachdachadh air bhith na chraoladair fad a bheatha agus air ais gu làithean òige ann an Scalpaigh. 

Le Loch Lì ri an taobh, tha còmhradh domhainn a’ gabhail àite eatorra mu chraoladh beò agus na dh’ionnsaich Tormod thar nam bliadhnaichean. Tha e a’ meòmhrachadh air eachdraidh Scalpaigh, call pearsanta da-rìribh dha and slàinte. 

Ged is ann air an taobh an ear a tha dachaigh Thormoid an-diugh, tha Scalpaigh agus an taobh an iar fhathast dlùth dha chridhe ach tha an sgìre iomallach seo ann an iar dheas A’ Mhonaidh Ruaidh a’tabhainn fòis is sìth dha bho uallaichean a bheatha làitheil.
