Rugadh agus thogadh Dolina NicIllFhinnein ann am Marbhaig, baile beag iasgaich ann an Sg矛re nan Loch: seachdnar anns an teaghlach, agus ise mar isean deireidh linn. Ghluais i gu D霉n 脠ideann ann an 1957, agus fad nan 60an agus nan 70an bhiodh i mar ch霉l-taic dha ath-bhe貌thachadh ce貌l d霉thchais na h-Alba. Thug an t-seinn aice tlachd agus misneachd dha m貌ran, agus 's m貌r is fhe脿irrde dualchas nan G脿idheal a cuid sgr矛obhaidh dha r猫idio agus a cuid cleasachd - gu h-脿raid, 's mathaid, mar an aon Gh脿idheal anns a' Cheviot, the Stag and the Black Black Oil aig 7:84. Le beagan cuideachaidh bhon tasglann, gheibh Doli a moladh 's i a' c貌mhradh agus a' cuimhneachadh le Domhnall Uilleam Sti霉bhart, le c脿irdean, le caraidean, agus le luchd-e貌lais ann an caochladh 脿iteachan eadar-dhealaichte. Tha deagh astar eadar Marbhaig nan Loch agus Taigh-Seinnse a' Waverley ann an D霉n 脡ideann, ach tha p脿irt aca uile ann am beatha iom'-fhillte Doli.

Born and brought up the youngest of seven children in the fishing community of Marvig on the east coast of Lewis, Dolina MacLennan became, within a few years of moving to Edinburgh in 1957, a mainstay of the Scottish folk revival of the 60s and 70s. Her Gaelic singing was a revelation and an inspiration to many while her writing for radio and her acting - perhaps particularly as the only Gael in 7:84's The Cheviot, the Stag and the Black Black Oil - contributed greatly to the developing culture of the G脿idhealtachd. In this archive-rich celebration of her career, Doli converses with Domhnall Uilleam Stiubhart and reminisces with family, friends, and associates in locations as different from one another as Marvig and Edinburgh's Waverley Bar but all of them integral to her many-faceted career.
