Episode 7 of 22

A tribute to multi-award winning author, Alistair Macleod, who passed away earlier this year.

Dlùth chuimhne air Alistair MacLeòid - an sàr sgrìobhadair agus sgeulaiche air an robh spèis mhòr aig muinntir Chanada - a chaochail na bu thràithe sa bhliadhna. Tha an sgrìobhadh aige a-nise ann an dà leabhar - 'Island', cruinneachadh de a sgeulachdan goirid, agus an nobhail aige, 'No Great Mischief'.

Tha grunn dhaoine ag innse mun eòlas a fhuair iad air duine sònraichte, agus sgrìobhadair gun samhail, agus a chuid obrach aig an robh dlùth dhàimh ri a fhreumhan Albannach agus Gàidhlig. A' cuimhneachadh air Alistair an dà chuid mar dhuine, agus mar sgrìobhadair - Fionnlagh MacLeòid. Màrtainn Dòmhnallach, Joan Michael, Frank Dòmhnallach, agus Craig MacAoidh.
