Keith's journey takes him deep into Argentine Patagonia, where he kayaks to the awe-inspiring Perito Moreno Glacier.
Crofter Keith MacDonald returns to South America, a continent he lived and worked in a decade ago. This time, he's on a journey to uncover the story of the Scots who emigrated there over a century earlier, including one of his own ancestors.
Keith's journey in this episode takes him deep into Argentine Patagonia, where he kayaks to the awe-inspiring Perito Moreno Glacier, now beginning to show the first signs of retreat after decades of remarkable stability.
He visits one of the only operational cattle ranches within the vast Los Glaciares National Park, joining a team of gauchos as they round up livestock in the shadow of towering peaks.
Pushing further south than he鈥檚 ever travelled, Keith ventures into Tierra del Fuego, the remote archipelago off the southern tip of the continent. There, he uncovers the harrowing story of Alexander MacLenna, known as The Red Pig, a Scottish settler whose brutal role in the genocide of the region鈥檚 indigenous people casts a dark shadow over this chapter of Scottish emigration history.
Tha an croitear Keith D貌mhnallach a鈥 tilleadh a dh鈥橝meiriga a Deas 鈥 m貌r-th矛r anns an robh e a鈥 fuireach agus ag obair o chionn deich bliadhna. An turas seo, tha e airson faighinn a-mach mu na h-Albannaich a rinn eilthireachd dhan d霉thaich seo o chionn ceud bliadhna, aon de shliochd fh猫in nam measg.
Tha a thuras a' toirt Keith air astar fada gu taobh Argentina de Phatagonia, far a bheil e a' dol air caidheag chun an eigh-shruth mh矛orbhaileach, Perito Moreno far a bheil fianais de chr矛onadh a-nis ach 脿s d猫idh iomadh bliadhna de sheasmhachd. Tha e a' tadhal air rainse chrodh ann am P脿irce N脿iseanta Los Glacieres agus a' dol an l霉ib sgioba gauchos a tha a' cruinneachadh bheathaichean aig clathaich nam beanntan m貌ra, cumhachdach.
A' gluasad nas fhaide deas na chaidh e riamh roimhe, tha Keith a' dol a-steach gu Tierra del Fuego, cruinneachadh iomallach de eileanan aig ceann a deas na m貌r-th矛r. An sin, tha e a' faighinn a-mach mu sgeul dhuilich Alasdair Mhicillfhinnein - no "a' Mhuc Dhearg鈥 mar a b'fhe脿rr a b'aithnte e - Albannach br霉ideil aig an robh l脿mh ann am murt t霉sanaich bhon sg矛re agus a dh'fh脿g droch bhlas air a' chuibhreann seo de eachdraidh eilthireachd na h-Alba.
