Episode 6

Peter MacQueen is about to face one of his biggest challenges - setting up his very own croft. In this series, he travels across Scotland to meet every kind of crofter – and their animals – from those who have been crofting all their lives to people who are diversifying into new and amazing things.

Peter comes to the end of his first year on the croft and is happy with his progress, but with a sheep sale happening nearby, he heads to Dalmally to get advice from a friend to see if they would be a good fit for him. He then makes one final trip up to Caithness to see croft diversification at its finest and helps make jam with berries picked by himself. Back in Oban, he harvests potatoes and reflects on a brilliant and productive year.

Tha an dùbhlan as motha dha riamh ro Phàdruig MacCuidhein – a’ steidheachadh cruit dha fhèin. San t-sreath seo siubhailidh e air feadh Alba a choinneachadh gach seòrsa diofar cruitear – agus am beothaichean – cuid a chruitearan a th’air a bhith ris fad am beatha, cuid eile a tha feuchainn a-mach rudan mìorbhaileach ùr.
Tha Pàdruig air tighinn gu crìoch na ciad bliadhna aige air a’ chruit, toilichte leis an adhartas a rinn e ach le fèill chaorach a’ gabhail àite faisg air làimh, tha e falbh ann a shireadh comhairle bho charaid ach am biodh iad seo freagarrach dhàsan.

An uairsin aon turas eile suas a Ghallaibh a dh’fhaicinn fìor diofar chruitearachd far an dèan e silidh le subhagan a chruinnich e fhèin. Air ais san Òban, tha e togail a bhuntàta agus a’ meòrachadh air bliadhna a th’air a bhith cho sgoinneil agus buannachdail.
