Tha Iain Moireasdan a' c貌mhradh ri D貌mhnall Macle貌id mu bhomadh Lockerbie anns an D霉bhlachd 1988 nuair a chaidh itealan Pan-Am a spreadhadh ann an ionnsaigh ceannairc os cionn baile beag ann an Siorrachd Dh霉n Fris, a' marbhadh 270 neach. Bha D貌mhnall ag obair mar neach-dhealbh dhan ph脿ipear-naidheachd An Scotsman aig an 脿m agus tha e a' bruidhinn air an sealladh uabhasach a bha roimhe nuair a r脿inig e Lockerbie air oidhche na tubaist.

An ath latha, chunnaic e mar a chaidh am baile a sgrios agus mar a thuit cuirp agus spr霉illeach air an sg矛re mu thimcheall. Mar fhear a bha an sin gu proifeasanta, bha aige ri aire a chumail air an obair a bha fa-near dha, sin dealbhan a thogail airson a' ph脿ipear-naidheachd. Tha D貌mhnall a' bruidhinn mu bhuaidh Lockerbie air fh猫in agus fi霉 's chun an latha an-diugh, tha f脿ileadh connadh itealain ga thoirt air ais chun na h-脿ma uabhasach a bha siud.

John Morrison is in conversation with Donald Macleod about the Lockerbie bombing in December 1988 when an American Pan-Am flight came down over the Dumfriesshire town, killing 270 people.

Donald was working as a news photographer for The Scotsman newspaper and he recalls the terrible scenes which greeted him on his arrival in the town on the night of the atrocity. Daylight the following morning revealed the full horror facing the town and Donald remembers the sight of bodies and aircraft debris strewn across Lockerbie and the surrounding countryside.

Donald also recalls how, as a professional on assignment, you have to leave personal feelings to one side and concentrate on getting the job done.
