Episode 1
The Croft returns for a new series as we catch up with young crofter Donald ‘Sweeny' MacSween on his croft in the Isle of Lewis, a croft that has been in his family for over 100 years.
Sweeny first captured the imagination of BBC Alba viewers in 2015 in the first series, as he tried to turn his passion for crofting life in to a full-time occupation. Over the last four years there been many challenges as he strives to fulfil his dream. Now in his second year full-time, Sweeny is always on the look out for something new to maximise his income from ‘An Lot' as we find out.
In the first of five programmes he looks at different ways of using wool, gets ready for 600 new hens, and builds a new shed shop for the tourists. He also heads to the bright lights of Edinburgh for the Scottish Rural Awards, where he is nominated, before heading back to the realities of crofting life and lambing - and early mornings. Definitely not Sweeny's favourite time of the day!
