An Taobh An Iar/West
Nationwide was the BBC's long-running news and current affairs show which was broadcast on BBC One Television from September 1969 to August 1983. It was a magazine show with a remit to cover regional stories across the whole of the United Kingdom.
During these years, the team of reporters regularly visited Scotland to bring viewers a wide variety of local and national stories - from the serious to the light-hearted and entertaining. Many of these stories have only been seen once and BBC ALBA is offering viewers the opportunity to see some of the best of Nationwide's Scottish content.
BBC News journalist Alasdair Fraser presents a selection of stories from the east, west and the islands of Scotland. In this first programme Alasdair focuses on the west and his highlights include droving cattle 200 miles from Skye to Crieff, an insight into the work of Glasgow's Air Ambulance Service and why Ballachulish was regarded by some as the dirtiest village in Scotland in 1973.
