Tha Dòmhnall MacSuain no Sweeny mar as fheàrr a dh’ aithnichear e air ais le na naidheachdan as ùire bhon lot ann an Nis ’s sinn ga leantainn tro gheamhradh an-uiridh suas gu mìosan an t-samhraidh. Tha dùbhlain eadar-dhealaichte a’ nochdadh gach bliadhna, ach chan eil stad a’ tighinn air obair bunaiteach na lot.

Anns a’ chiad phrògram san t-sreath, tha Sweeny a’ meòrachadh air a’ bhliadhna annasach a chaidh seachad agus mar a thug sgaoileadh a’ chòrona-bhìorais buaidh air a’ bheatha gu pearsanta agus mar chroitear ann an dlùth choimhearsnachd eileanach. Tha e fhèin agus a dheagh charaid ùr Romesh Ranganathan a’ faighinn cothrom sùil a thoirt air ais air a’ phrògram a rinn iad còmhla an-uiridh tron ghlasadh, a’ beachdachadh air a’ bhuaidh a bh’ aige orra fhèin is air luchd-amhairc na b’ fharsaing, agus tha e cuideachd a’ ceannachd cearcan ùr às an Eilean Sgitheanach - na ceudan dhiubh!

Tha An Lot a’ toirt sealladh fìor tro na ràithean air beatha chroitear, èasgaidh stèidhichte ann am fìor Cheann a Tuath Eilean Leòdhais.

Donald Macsween, or Sweeny as he is best known, is back with the latest news from his croft in Ness, as we follow him from the winter of last year right through to the summer months. Every year poses its own challenges, but the daily work on the croft never stops.

In episode one, Sweeny reflects on the unusual year that has passed discussing the effects of the pandemic on him personally and as a crofter in a tight-knit island community. He and his new friend Romesh Ranganathan get the opportunity to look back on how the programme they made together last year during lockdown had an impact on themselves and on a wider audience. He also buys some new hens from the Isle of Skye – hundreds of them!

An Lot gives a true representation of the life of an enthusiastic, hard working crofter through the seasons in the northernmost community of the Isle of Lewis.
