A summer’s day in June 2004. Four teenagers are walking on the Fife Coastal Path near St Andrews when one of them, Amy, finds an unusual bracelet.
20 years later a new true crime series begins, “Fuasgladh Cheist”, which investigates suspicious and unexplained deaths. In the first program, Art Dawson is trying to find answers about the death of his sister, Joni, who fell while walking the Fife Coastal Path in June 2004. He has never believed the official verdict that it was an accident – what happened to her, and where is the priceless bracelet she was wearing?

Shelagh Campbell is from Glasgow and writes fiction for adults and children in Gaelic. She was selected as the Scottish Book Trust’s Gaelic New Writer Awardee for 2022. She won Gaelic Literature Awards for Best Unpublished Manuscript for Children in 2020 and 2023 and her work has appeared in New Writing Scotland, Northwords Now and Causeway/Cabhsair.

This event will mostly be in Gaelic, with some English explanations.

Thigibh còmhla ri Shelagh Chaimbeul gus an leabhar ùr eucoir aice, "Far na Slighe", a chomharrachadh còmhla ri Cathy Bhàn.

Latha samhraidh san Ògmhios, 2004. Tha ceathrar deugairean a’ coiseachd air Slighe Chladach Fìobha faisg air Cill Rìmhinn nuair a gheibh tè dhiubh, Amy, lorg air bann-làimhe eireachdail. 20 bliadhna an dèidh sin tha sreath ùr a’ nochdadh, “Fuasgladh Cheist”, anns am bithear a’ dèanamh sgrùdadh air bàsan amharasach. Sa chiad phrògram, tha Art Dawson a’ feuchainn ri freagairtean a lorg mu bàs a pheathar, Joni, a thuit far Slighe Chladach Fìobha san Ògmhios 2004. Cha robh esan a-riamh a’ creidsinn gum b’ e tubaist a bh’ ann: dè thachair dhi, agus càit an deach am bann-làimhe prìseil a bh’ oirre?

'S ann à Glaschu a tha Shelagh Chaimbeul agus tha i a' sgrìobhadh ficsean do chloinn agus do dh'inbhich ann an Gàidhlig. Bhuannaich i Duaisean nan Sgrìobhadairean Ùra 2022 le Urras Leabhraichean na h-Alba, agus ann an 2020 agus 2023 bhuainnaich i duais airson Làmh-sgrìobhain as Fheàrr do Chloinn aig Na Duaisean Litreachais. Tha a cuid sgrìobhaidh air nochdadh ann an grunn irisean, a' gabhail a-steach New Writing Scotland, Northwords Now agus Causeway/Cabhsair.
