Description: Dwelly's Gaelic Dictionary is one of the most important works of Scottish scholarship, and an indispensable reference guide for a century of Gaels since its first publication in 1901. This programme examines the amazing achievement of Edward Dwelly, who originally undertook the compilation for his own private use.

Fad coir is ceud bliadhna tha am faclair Dwelly air a bhi na thaic do Ghàidheil agus iadsan le uidh anns a chanan. Ach cha b' ann ri sùil ris a' lethid de dh' fhoillseachadh a chaidh Eideard Dwelly an sàs anns na h-obrach. Tha am prògram sa a' rannsachadh an duine agus a dhìleab.
