Dòmhnall Moireasdan a' toirt sùil air ais air cuid de na sgeulachdan a nochd air a' phrògam aithriseach Cearcall. Nam measg: cogadh eadar iasgairean nan clèibh agus na tràlairean anns an Eilean Sgitheanach.

Donald Morrison presents another selection from the programme Cearcall, originally transmitted in the late 70s and the 80s.

This episode features several reports, notable among them the conflict between creel fishermen and trawlers off Skye. Creel fishermen from the west were losing creels and grounds to destructive trawls. Angela MacEachan reported in 1981 on how creel fishermen were trying to get the authorities to keep trawlers out of sea lochs.

Other reports include a feature on the YOP schemes and the aim of creating jobs for young people. The first business courses at Sabhal Mòr Ostaig were starting, as was the realisation that computers and electronics would form an integral part of the future.
