Combining the role of artist and interviewer, Islay-born artist Heather Dewar creates colour portraits of well-known Gaels, while teasing out of them every little detail of their life story!

Heather travels to South Uist where she meets Liam Crouse. Liam hails from the east coast of America but came to Scotland in his late teens to study, drawn by his love of the bagpipes and an interest in his Scots heritage. Liam is a big part of the island’s community and is a member of the society that works to protect the Scottish breed of pony known as Eriskay Ponies.

Tha Fraoch Nic an DeΓ²ir a Ìle air ais air an sgrion le sreath ΓΉr de β€œDhealbhan Fraoich”. An dΓ  chuid na tΓ¨-ealain agus na ceasnaiche, tha i a’dΓ¨anamh dealbhan dathte de GhΓ idheil air a bheil sinn eΓ²lach – agus a’tΓ ladh asta iomadh sgeul mu eachdraidh am beatha.

Buinidh esan do thaobh sear nan StΓ itean Aonaichte, ach thΓ inig e a dh’Alba na dheugair airson foghlamachadh: ga thΓ ladh a-nall bha a spΓ¨is dhan phΓ¬ob-mhΓ²r agus an ΓΉidh a bh’aige na shinnsearachd Albannach fhΓ¨in. Tha Liam an diugh suidhichte ann an coimhearsnachd an eilein agus tha e fiu’s na bhall de Chomunn Each nan Eilean, am buidheann a tha ag obair gus eich Èirisgeidh a dhΓ¬on.
