Nuair a bha Tormod 70 bliadhna san D脿mhair 2012, dh' iarr sinn air Maureen NicLe貌id, a rugadh 's a thogadh san aon bhaile ris, cuairt a ghabhail le Tormod an Dail bho Dheas agus ann an D霉n 脠ideann far a robh e na oileanach agus a' cosnadh. Anns an t-sreath phr貌graman a tha seo cluinnidh sinn mu na thug buaidh air Tormod.

Tha iad a' t貌iseachadh ann an G脿raidhean Sr脿id a' Phrionnsa far a robh Tormod ag obair airson greiseag ach cha do sheas e ro fhada, mar a mh矛nicheas e fh猫in. Tha iad a' coinneachadh ri Catriona Lexy Chaimbeul, nighean Thormoid agus tha 'd a' bruidhinn air mar a chuir an dithis aca seachad 霉ine an D霉n 脠ideann agus mar a tha an dithis aca an-diugh a' sgr矛obhadh. Cluinnidh sinn mar a tha Tormod air a bhith misneachadh agus a' cuideachadh Chatriona Lexy bho h-貌ige 's tha 'd a' toirt port air Jelly a' Cho-op agus mar a chaidh a sgr矛obhadh le Tormod agus aithris le Catriona Lexy.

This is a series of 8 programmes celebrating the Gaelic writer Norman Campbell ( Tormod a' Bhocsair ) 's 70th birthday in October 2012. Presented by Maureen Macleod, she and Norman continue their programmes recorded on location in Edinburgh recalling Norman's time there in the 60s.

They begin in Princes St Gardens where Norman worked as an assistant gardener which was short-lived but eventful. They meet up with Norman's daughter, Catriona Lexy Campbell and discuss their shared experience of living in Edinburgh and their shared art of writing. They compare their writing styles, and how they both don't regard writing as work, as such, but pleasure. They discuss how Norman famously wrote a story, Jelly a' Cho-op for Catriona Lexy and how she performed it at the Mod at the age of five and became an instant success.
