Gladys | Deireadh na Sgeoil/Story Complete

Gladys Johnston finally finds out who her father was and meets her Irish half-sister for the first time.

Aig aois 87, tha Gladys Nic Iain mu dheireadh thall a’ lorg a dualchas Èireannach, a’ faighinn a-mach cò a b’athair dhith agus a’ coinneachadh ri a leth-phiuthar Èireannach airson a’ chiad uair a-riamh. Tha am prògram seo a’ leantainn air an sgeulachd tiamhaidh a bh’ aig Gladys mu bhith air a breith ann an Èirinn, air a h-uchd-mhacachadh gu Alba agus an oidhirp a rinn i a pàrantan breith a lorg. Aig deireadh a’ phrògram mu dheireadh air Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú ALBA o’ chionn ochd bliadhna, fhuair Gladys a-mach mu a breith agus mar a chaidh sparradh air a màthair am pàiste thoirt seachad airson uchd-mhacachd a dh’Alba. Cha robh fios aig Gladys mu chàil sam bith mu a h-athair, mar sin, cha robh a sgeulachd riamh ach air a leth innse...Thuige seo.

At the age of 87, Gladys Johnston finally uncovers her Irish heritage, finds out who her father was and meets her Irish half-sister for the first time. This documentary follows on from Gladys’ original poignant story of being born in Ireland, adopted to Scotland and her subsequent quest to find her birth parents.

At the end of the last Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú ALBA programme eight years ago, Gladys found out about her birth and the context in which her mother had been forced to give her away for adoption to Scotland. However not knowing anything about her father meant Gladys’ story was only ever half complete…until now.
