Dearbh-aithne: AB_SGI_01_TONY_POLLARD_Q_06 TUAIRISGEUL: Mar phàirt de Thilleadh Dhachaigh 2009, chaidh co-labhairt eadar-nàiseanta trì latha - Buaidh Chruinneil na h-Alba - a chumail ann an Taigh-chluiche Eden Court, Inbhir Nis, bho 22-24 Dàmhair. Thàinig sgoilearan, eachdraichean is eòlaichean eile còmhla gus deasbaireachd fhallain a bhrosnachadh mu eachdraidh imrich agus a' bhuaidh a bha aig muinntir na h-Alba thall-thairis. Rinn Am Baile agallamhan le grunn luchd-labhairt rè na co-labhairt. San earrainn chlaistinnich seo, tha an Dr Tony Pollard a' freagairt na ceiste: "Nam biodh tu a' dèanamh eilthireachd an-diugh is nach fhaodadh tu a thoirt leat ach na dheidheadh ann an ciste eilthirich àbhaisteach, dè chuireadh tu innte?" (Bhiodh ciste àbhaisteach mu 96cm x 51cm x 56cm.) 'Oh, well I'd try, I'd probably try and get rid of this thing, my Blackberry, cos I'm addicted to my email; I communicate so much with e-, by email, all over the world, and I'm constantly looking at it. My wife's constantly telling me to put that down, turn it off, and leave it alone. So, I would try and leave this behind but I know full well that I'd be sneaking it in. Books; I read a lot. I have to say a laptop computer, cos I write a lot, and I write novels, and I think that would be - Is this a Desert Isle? This is almost a Desert Island Discs thing, isn't it? - So I would need my laptop. What else would I need? Probably my trowel, cos there's always stuff to dig out there. So, as I say, I spend a lot of time travelling and the more I do it, the more I loathe it; packing bags, sitting around in airports. It's dreadful and usually can't wait to get home though that's, that's not to say I don't see some wonderful places. I'll be quite happy emigrating home as much as possible, I think.'
