Tha sinn a-nise a’ tilleadh dhan An Lot agus a’ leantainn Sweeny thar a’ chiad bhliadhna na chroitear làn ùine dha-rìribh, son faicinn an deàn e a’ chùis. Anns a’ chiad phrògram de 6, chithear dùbhlain a’ Gheamhraidh air a’ chroit, agus am ’Beast from the East’ ainmeil a’ toirt aimsir fuar, fuar dhan eilean.

Mar chroitear làn ùine tha Sweeny an-còmhnaidh a’ meòrachadh air beachdan ùra son teachd-a-steach seasmhach a bhith aige thar na bliadhna.

We follow young crofter Donald ‘Sweeny’ MacSween on the Isle of Lewis, a croft that has been in his family for over 100 years. Sweeny first captured the imagination of Â鶹ԼÅÄ ALBA viewers in 2015 in the first series, as he tried to turn his passion for crofting life in to a full-time occupation. Three years on, we join him again and follow Sweeny across his first year full-time to see if he can make it all work.

We see the challenges of winter on the croft with the famous ‘Beast from the East’, and some really cold weather making an appearance. As a full-time crofter, Sweeny also constantly explores new ideas to ensure a steady income throughout the year. One idea leads him to a new hobby - knitting. Sweeny heads to the Isle of Skye to get creative with his wool.
