Episode 5
Ramsay immerses himself in Durness’s history, mainland Britain’s most north-westerly community. Ramsay a’bogadh an eachdraidh Dhiùirnis, am baile is fhaide an iar-thuath air tìr-mòr
When you live and work in the city, there is no better feeling than escaping into Scotland’s wilderness at the weekend. Ramsay MacMahon guides us through the perfect short getaway in Durness, surrounded by brilliant beaches and stunning sea lochs.
Starting in Ard Neakie, once a busy ferry terminal, he crosses the natural sandbar causeway to discover the old ferry house and takes a look at the ruins of a limestone quarry. He then travels to Ceannabeinne Clearance Village, where the dramatic cliffs and beaches hide a sad past.
Ramsay’s next stop takes him to Smoo Cave where he discovers the area's dark secrets and learns that there may be an additional chamber within the cave still to be found. His journey ends at Balnakeil beach and final resting place of famous Gaelic poet Rob Donn MacKay.
Nuair a tha thu ag obair sa còmhnaidh sa bhaile mhòr chan eil dad a thogas do chridhe cleas faighinn a-mach air an dùthaich aig an deireadh sheachdain. Nì Ramsay MacMahon iùl dhuinn timchioll sgìre Dhiùirnis. Tha e air a chuartachadh le trà ighean geala is lochan-mara à lainn.
A’tòiseachadh an Àrd Neacaidh, far an robh seirbhis aiseig trang na latha, tha e a’dol a-mach air an oitir a choimhead seann taigh an aiseig, agus na tha air fhà gail de sheann chuairidh aoil. Theid e a’choimhead Ceann na Beinne, baile fàs bho à m nam Fuadaichean, far a bheil eachdraidh dhuilich air cùl nan stallaichean casa sna trà ighean brèagha.
Nuairsin tha Uamh Smudha a’feitheamh air, dorcha is domhain, agus is dòcha nas duimhne fhathast ma tha seòmar eile ri lorg. Thig a thurus gu crìch air trà igh Bhaile na Cille, faisg air uaigh a’bhà ird, Rob Donn MacAoidh.
