Balach aig a’ Mhullach

A young boy from Skye takes part in a challenge to climb mountains - together equal in height to Mount Everest.

Twelve year old Lachlan from the Isle of Skye has taken on a special challenge, with a group of friends from his local church. They are to climb a succession of mountains, which together are equal in height to Mount Everest. As we join them, they have only two climbs left – but this includes Ben Nevis, the highest peak in the British Isles.

Commissioned as part of the European Broadcasting Union’s I Can Do It film scheme for children, this short documentary follows Lachlan as he embarks on the most daunting leg of the task. We meet him, his family and friends throughout the preparation stage, and finally travel with him as he tackles Ben Nevis. With stunning aerial photography, Lachlan takes us with him on a challenge that few 12 year olds will ever face.

Tha Lachlan, aois dΓ  bhliadhna dheug Γ s an Eilean SgΓ¬theanach, a gabhail dΓΉbhlan sΓ²nraichte os lΓ imh. CΓ²mhla ri buidheann de charaidean Γ s eaglais a bhaile, feumaidh e diofar bheanntan Albannach a shreap, a tha cΓ²mhla cho Γ rd ri Mount Everest. Nuair a tha sinn a’ tachairt ris, chan eil aige ach na dhΓ  eile ri dhol – ach sΓ¨ aon dhiu Beinn Neibheis, an tΓ¨ is Γ irde ann am Breatainn.

Chaidh am fiolm goirid seo a riochdachadh mar phΓ irt den sceama EΓ²rpach β€œI Can Do It,” a tha leantainn clann air feadh na Roinn-EΓ²rpa β€˜s iad a feuchainn air diofar dhΓΉbhlain leithid spΓ²rs, gniomhachas, agus a bhith dΓ¬on an Γ rainneachd. Le seallaidhean Γ llainn an Eilein SgΓ¬theanaich agus tir mΓ²r na GΓ idhealtachd, tha Lachlan fhΓ¨in gar stiΓΉireadh tro na ceumannan mu dheireadh dhan euchd aige.
