Presenter Donald Morrison takes a nostalgic look through the archive of the popular Gaelic current affairs series Cearcall. In the original series transmitted in the late 70's and the 80's, topics covered included fishing, crofting, language and politics. In the first report, Angela MacEachan visits Uist to study the Van Leer project that was started there. The Van Leer Foundation was funded by the legacy of Dutch businessman Bernard Van Leer, who died in the 50s. One aim was to look for improvements in the education of young children. Also on the programme, a report on the unusual way news of plans to build a rocket range on South Uist was discovered. The third report is a portrait of Berneray, Harris which was very remote at the time. It wasn't even served by a public ferry, although there was talk of introducing a Loganair plane service. Angela MacEachan presented her observations from the island.
