Caithness Pens is going to be on the telly

Last week BBC Alba contacted us regarding filming for Alba and possibly reporting Scotland
We were first filmed at the Eden Court show Inverness on Friday.
Today they came up here (sunny Castletown) to interview me and do some filming of me working in the workshop.
I must confess to being somewhat relieved it’s all over without any hick-ups

Hope this post is allowed and I'm not breaking any forum rules. If any forum rules broken sorry!!!!!

Well done you!

I sometimes watch BBC Alba. I don't speak Gaelic but I like the fact that some programmes are filmed locally.

Remember to let us know when the programme on Caithness Pens is to be broadcast. I'll be watching for sure. :D

I need to clean my glasses (or my mind). I read that headline as "Caithness penis..."

Go wash your mouth out with Carbolic or Lifebuoy soap George. This is Caithness dot Org. There is no "y" at the end...... ;)

I thoroughly enjoyed the news item Martin. Thank goodness you weren't speaking Gaelic - I would have been lost!

Very interesting indeed, I'll be looking for your business details online again shortly.

Thanks once again. :D
