Mac Shimidh ag innse ma bheatha ann am poileataics

B' e Sìm Friseal, 17mh MacShimidh (1911-1995), an 25mh Ceann Cinnidh air na Frisealaich. Choisinn e cliù mar Chommando Breatannach anns an Dàrna Cogadh. Chaidh a dhroch leòn anns an ionnsaigh air Normandaidh ann an 1944, ach dh'fhàs e na b' fheàrr. Anns na bliadhnaichean an dèidh a' chogaidh, chuir e seachad mòran ùine ann am poileataigs, agus air oighreachdan an teaghlaich mun Mhanachainn.<br /> <br /> <br /> Anns a' chòmhradh seo ri Sam Marshall bho Moray Firth Radio, tha MacShimidh ag innse ma bheatha ann am poileataigs.<br /> <br /> <br /> 'I became a member of Inverness County Council when my father died in '32 and I kept the position through the war, so I launched more into County Council work, and I had a fair amount to do in other aspects of farming. I was asked to judge quite a lot overseas - judge beef cattle - and of course I had a part to play in the House of Lords where I spoke on Scottish affairs, or Highland affairs.'
