Tha Donaidh MacAoidh a' coinneachadh nan gaisgich a tha a' seasamh ris an droch shìde. Donnie Mackay meets the heroes who take on extreme weather.

Ann am prògram na seachdain seo tha Donaidh MacAoidh a' cur aire air droch thuiltean ann an Alba agus tha e a' faighinn fiosrachadh air dè tha baile Pheairt air a dhèanamh gus smachd a chumail air Abhainn Tàtha. An uair sin, bidh e a' dol còmhla ri fear a bhios a' dràibheadh làraidhean astaran fada, Murchadh Iain MacAoidh a bhios a' dol air feadh Alba anns a h-uile seòrsa aimsir, agus tha e ag innse a chuimhneachain air cabhadh turas air Eilean Arainn. 'S e seo an latha mu dheireadh aig Alasdair MacÌomhair aig CalMac an dèidh 28 bliadhna, agus tha Donaidh còmhla ris agus e a' guidhe soraidh slàn ri beatha aig muir.

Ann an Uibhist, tha einnseanairean SSEN Niall MacCarmaig agus Mata Dòmhnallach a' toirt rudeigin sònraichte mus tig an stoirm. Nuair a thèid an dealan dheth, bidh feum aig Tam air gineadair gus a chumail beò agus e air àirnean eile fhaighinn. Mar sin, bidh na balaich a' dèanamh cinnteach gu bheil fear aige deiseil mus tig a' chuid as miosa dhen t-sìde.

Donnie Mackay investigates the extreme flooding experienced across Scotland and discovers what measures the fair city of Perth has put in place to tame the River Tay. Later he joins long-distance lorry driver Murdo John Mackay as crosses Scotland in all weathers, and shares his memory of dreadful blizzard conditions on Arran.

It's CalMac handyman Alasdair MacIver's last day after 28 years on the job, and Donnie's with him as he says farewell to a life at sea.

Over in South Uist SSEN engineers Neil MacCormick and Matthew MacDonald are making a special delivery. When the power goes down, kidney transplant patient Tam relies on a generator to keep him alive, and so the boys make sure he has one installed before the worst weather hits.
