R脿inig I cladaichean baile iomallach 脌ird T貌bha, Ath Tharracail ann a 1939 agus chaidh a togail le M脿iri agus Donnachadh Camshron. Anns a phr貌gram seo tre貌raichidh Cathy NicDh貌mhnaill, Gladys air turas air leth troimh eachdraidh a beatha. Bheiridh Cathy taic dha Gladys luaidh a dheanamh air a sgeulachd 脿raid aice - sgeulachd a phaisg I air falbh ann a drathair 'son faisg air trichead bliadhna... gus an dr脿st.
Gladys Johnston - nee Cameron - is a Gael in every sense of the word. A mother, a grandmother and a great grandmother. However, Gladys wasn't born in the Gaidhealtachd of Scotland, she was born in a Dublin suburb in the Protestant adoption home Bethany House in 1936 to a young unmarried Irish woman. She arrived in the remote village of Ardtoe, Acharacle in 1939 and was brought up by M脿iri and Duncan Cameron.
Cathy MacDonald lead Gladys through a journey of discovery into her past. She helps Irish-born Gladys bear witness to her incredible story - a tale she filed away in a drawer for nearly 30 years...until now.
