Tha an neach-ealain, Catr矛ona Nic Ille Dhuibh a tha an-diugh a' fuireach anns an Olaind a' gabhail cuairt sh貌nraichte dhachaigh a dh' Alba. Bha i a-riamh air a m貌r mhisneachadh leis a' bheairteas de dh'annasan fhaclan a chruinnich Mgr Ailein D貌mhnallach ann an Uibhist a Deas agus Eirisgeigh san naoidheamh linn deug , agus gu s貌nraichte leis an 脿bhachdas a bha aig freumhan m貌ran de na faclan.

Tha i a-nise am beachd taisbeanadh 霉r agus leabhran de dhealbhan 霉ra a chruthachadh st猫idhte air a' chruinneachadh 脿raid seo, agus tha i a' d猫anamh air na h-Eileanan a Deas son an tuilleadh fhaighinn a-mach mu Mgr Ailein agus a bheatha. C貌mhla rithe air a turas tha Iain E脿irdsidh Mac a' Mhaoilein a bha na shagart ann an Dalabrog agus Uibhist a Deas agus a tha f矛or e貌lach air an sg矛re agus muinntir an 脿ite, agus air beatha Mhgr Ailein fh猫in.

Artist Catr矛ona Black, who lives in Holland, returns home to Scotland for a very special trip. She has long been inspired by the treasure trove of weird, wonderful and beautifully subtle Gaelic words that Father Allan MacDonald gathered in South Uist and Eriskay in the late 19th century, in particular the humour that underpins much of it.

Her aim now is to make a book of handmade prints inspired by this fascinating collection, and she heads to the Southern Isles to find out more about Father Allan - his life and his work. Joining her for the trip is John Archie MacMillan, who was a priest in Daliburgh and Eriskay, and knows the local area and people well, and has an in-depth knowledge of the life of Father Allan.
