Aig toiseach na seachdadan, th脿inig tidsear 霉r a theagasg clasaichean coig, sia is seachd ann am bun-sgoil Shiaboist, tidsear le d貌ighean teagasg a bha gu math eadar-e脿laichte bho'n a h-uile tidsear eile a bh'air a bhi aig na sgoilearan roimhne sin.

Se an tidsear, Fionnlagh MacLe貌id, neo Dr Finlay, air am bi daoine e貌lach mar sgr矛obhadar, chraoladair, is mar fhear a tha min-e貌lach air eachdraidh, n脿dar agus iomadach cuspair eile. Ged a tha d脿 fhichead bliadhna a-nis bho dh'fh脿g Fionnlagh sgoil Shiaboist, tha an d脿imh eadar e fh猫in agus na sgoilearan a bh'aige air a bhliadhna sin ann fh脿thast.

Anns a phr貌gram seo, tha clas Fhionnlaigh a' cruinneachadh a-r矛thist agus tha Christine Mhoireasdan, aon dha na sgoilearan a bh'anns a chlas a' dol air chuairt agus a' faighneachd d猫 a bhuaidh a tha tidsear a-mach 脿s an t-sreath a' toirt oirnn? A bheil a bhuaidh sin a' leantainn riunn fad as deidh dhuinn an sgoil fh脿gail?

Set in the early 1970s, this is the story of one year in childhood, when a teacher with radical new ideas came to Shawbost primary school on the west side of the Isle of Lewis. The teacher, Dr Finlay MacLeod, is now well known as a writer, broadcaster, historian and naturalist. His approach to teaching was revolutionary in the school at that time, and led to the creation of a bond between teacher and pupil that exists to this day.

Presented and produced by Christine Morrison, one of the children in Finlay's class, the programme reunites teacher and former pupils, explores Finlay's background and approach to education and the impact of his progressive teaching style on the children he taught and the adults they became.
