Gladys Johnston - nee Cameron - is a Gael in every sense of the word. A mother, a grandmother and a great grandmother. However, Gladys wasn't born in the Gaidhealtachd of Scotland, she was born in a Dublin suburb in the Protestant adoption home Bethany House in 1936 to a young unmarried Irish woman. She arrived in the remote village of Ardtoe, Acharacle in 1939 and was brought up by M脿iri and Duncan Cameron.

Cathy MacDonald lead Gladys through a journey of discovery into her past. She helps Irish-born Gladys bear witness to her incredible story - a tale she filed away in a drawer for nearly 30 years...until now.
