How does crofting shape community identity and justice? by Ciorstaidh Chaimbeul. In this conversation Ciorstaidh weaves together different voices to examine the history and evolution of crofting in Skye. This includes local crofters Calina and Donald MacDonald from Eynort, who speak about their own family’s experiences, the roles of women within this tradition and the shifting laws towards communal ownership. Archivist Catherine MacPhee and historian Grace Wright provide the historical context for crofting citing the land struggles and resistance of crofters in the 19th Century, and Cheryl McIntyre speaks on a new generation of crofters providing an insight into how people are working with the tradition and laws today.
