A long-lived person sees many things. In this programme, we meet people who have reached 100 years of age to find out what kind of lives they have lived and what changes they have seen. They have witnessed many improvements in their own communities in terms of housing, electricity and running water coming to the villages and they have also lived through a time when crofting and fishing were a pivotal part of daily life. They have seen great developments in terms of health care, with the NHS being established, and most importantly, they are the last generation who have first hand memories of the Second World War. Amongst others, we speak to the exceptional storyteller, Willie Macleod from Stornoway, who as a young man, was part of the salvage team when the well-known SS Politician, which was full of whisky, ran aground close to Eriskay in 1941.
