Clann na Mara

Turus mara; cuairt ciùil le Dougie Mac'illeathain. Musician Dougie MacLean takes to the sea.

As t-samhradh sa bhliadhna 2000 ghabh am fear-ciuil Dougie Mac'illeathain turus-mara mu chuairt na h-eileanan siar ann am bata RIB, a' cur eòlas air buaidh na mara air a shinnsirean agus air an cuid ciùil. A' tadhal anns na Hearadh, an Uidhist, am Barraigh agus aig ceann-turuis ann an Ùige tha e coinneachadh ri luchd-ciùil anns na h-àiteachan sin airson ceilidh agus cèol.

Gaelic culture is tied inextricably with the sea, as a means of moving between islands, earning a living, as an object of celebration and fear in song and story. In 2000, Scottish singer songwriter Dougie MacLean undertook a musical odyssey. Travelling in his rigid inflatable boat from Stornoway on the Isle of Lewis, he took his music to exchange with like-minded musicians from South Uist, Barra, Harris and Lewis in this musical circumnavigation of the Outer Hebrides.
