Sùil air muinntir Eilean Leòdhais a tha a' togail an t-uabhas airgid airson carthannas. A profile of the people of the Isle of Lewis who raise massive sums of money for charity.
Tha cliù sònraichte aig muinntir Eilean Leòdhais air taobh siar na h-Alba, 's iad a' togail barrachd airgid airson carthannasan na à ite sam bith eile ann am Breatainn. Carson a tha na daoine seo cho còir ge-tà ?
Ann am priomh bhaile an eilein, Steòrnabhagh, tha bùithtean carthannais rim faicinn air a h-uile oisean. Nam measg tha bùth Save the Children a tha air a bhith stèidhte sa bhaile fad 30 bliadhna, agus bùth Bhethesda, carthannas sònraichte sgìreil a thog dachaigh cùraim aig cosgais £1.2 millean, agus a tha ga ruigh bho bliadhna gu bliadhna.
Tha a h-uile aois an lùib obair charthannais air an eilein, agus tha sin follaiseach ann an à rd-sgoil MhicNeacail far a bheil na sgoilearan a' cur iomadh tachartas air dòigh airson carthannas.
Gheibh sinn cothrom cuideachd an obair luachmhor a tha comataidh Cancer Research UK ris fhaicinn, nam measg an tachartas mòr-beothail , Here come the Girls!
The people of the Isle of Lewis on the west coast of Scotland enjoy a very special reputation. They've raised more money for charity than any other place in Britain. So why are they so generous?
In the island's main town, Stornoway, there are charity shops on every corner. Amongst them are the Save the Children shop, which was established over 30 years ago, and the Bethesda shop, a special local charity which built a £1.2 million care home and runs it from year to year.
All ages are involved in charity on the island, and that's clear at the Nicolson Institute, where the pupils organise numerous charity events.
We'll also find out about the tireless work that the local Cancer Research UK committee do, including their highlight of the event of year, which is always a lively affair, Here Come the Girls.
