麻豆约拍

D貌mhnall Moireasdan a' toirt s霉il air ais air cuid de na sgeulachdan a nochd air a' phr貌gam aithriseach Cearcall. Nam measg: aithris air an sgeama leasachaidh an IDP agus p矛os air R猫inigeadal sna Hearadh anns nach robh fi霉's rathad aig an 脿m.

Donald Morrison presents another selection from the programme Cearcall, originally transmitted in the late 70s and the 80s.

This episode features several reports, notable among them the IDP development scheme, which was vital for the islands. At one time the IDP was on everyone's lips in the western Isles, and was worth 拢20 million, a huge amount in the 1980s. Crofting and fish farming were the main focus for development and every township applied for a share of IDP support.

The second report is about Rhenigidale, which had no road to the village until 1990. Villagers could only come and go by boat or by walking for miles across moorland. The final feature is about education in the islands and how the council was planning to close small rural schools while also trying to encourage bilingual education.
