Third of a six-part documentary following the transformation of Lews Castle from semi-ruin to state-of-the-art heritage and hospitality centrepiece.

Tha Dualchas a' Chaisteil a' leantainn turas Caisteal Leòdhais a bha uair na thogalach uasal Bhictòrionach ach a thuit às a chèile, agus e a-nis ag atharrachadh gu togalach spaideil dualchasach ùr-ghnàthach, agus ionad aoigheachd sònraichte. Tha an Nollaig a' teannadh dlùth agus tha Jim a tha os cionn na sgioba togail a' dèanamh cinnteach gu bheil a h-uile duine gu dripeil aig làrach togail Caisteal Leòdhais. Chan e gu bheil toileachas na Nollaige air nochdadh fhathast ge-tà. Tha fadachd air a' phlèastair, Alex, faighinn air a làithean-saora. Tha e fuar air an làraich-togail, ach sa phàirce chàraichean tha cùisean a' teasachadh agus muinntir an tarmac ag amas crìoch a chur air cùisean. Chan eil ach beag mhìosan ri dhol gus am feum an togalach a bhith deiseil. An t-àm ann airson pinnt ma-thà a- èir a' mhaor-obrach, Alasdair...

The Castle follows the transformation of towering Victorian vision Lews Castle from semi-ruin to State of the Art Heritage and Hospitality centrepiece. Christmas is fast approaching but Jim the site manager is making sure there is no slacking on site at Lews Castle. Christmas cheer? Not much.

For plasterer Alex the festive break can't come quick enough. It's cold on site but, in the car-park, things are 'hotting up' as the tarmaccers get to work laying the final surfaces. Only a few months to go until the building has to be finished.
