The Croft

Episodes

Donald MacSween - or Sweeny as most folk know him - is a Lewis crofter with a dream. A proud Ness man, he is currently working part-time but aims to change all that so he can spend more time in what he considers to be the best place in the world, Ness, and be a crofter full-time. We follow him over a year in this six-part series as he tries to make his dream become a reality. Sweeny has had an interest in animals and crofting from a young age and spent a lot of time with his grandfather on the family croft. Since taking over the croft in 2005, he's juggled the demands of the day job with crofting, but in July 2014 he embarked on the next stage of his ambitious plans.
