Domhnall 'Sweeny' MacSween on Western Isles crofting (2 of 2)


Listen Later

We return to Ness, on the north tip of the Hebridean island of Lewis, with crofter and TV presenter Domhnall Macsween, - known to most as Sweeny. We join Sweeny and OnFARM's Dave Howard up on the peat moors, amongst eagles, corn crakes, and Sweeny's herd of cattle. This is the second of two episodes featuring Sweeny, and is kindly supported by the Scottish Rural Network, part of the Scottish Government's Scottish Rural Development Programme.
