Fraochy Bay

Fraochy Bay is a Scottish Gaelic cartoon created by Neillydubh Animation Limited and produced by Moja TV for BBC Alba and funded by MG Alba. The series is set in the fictional town of Fraochy Bay, notionally located somewhere off the west coast of Scotland, with no central theme other than an exploration of the slightly odd characters and surreal events that take place in and around the town.
The series debuted on BBC Alba in late 2009 with its first three episodes airing on 21, 22 and 23 December.
Series four's original run began in April 2013 with a fifth series following in October 2014 until 1 March 2015.
