Gairloch

n the last programme in the series she travels through the parish of Gairloch in Wester Ross. Heather meets historian William McRobbie, who tells her about Loch Ewe's important role during World War II. This vast sea loch was used as a convoy assembly point for ships bound for the Atlantic and latterly Russia. Unsurprisingly the area saw more than its share of tragedy during this period, and John Murdo MacKenzie tells Heather about an event he was witness to at 12 years of age which he will never forget. Heather pops into the local radio station, Two Lochs, to meet the presenter of the weekly Gaelic programme and chats to some of its loyal listeners.
