Meet islanders in the beautiful Outer Hebridean islands of Uist and Barra, sharing life’s ups and downs with resilience, humour and a powerful sense of community.
From Berneray down to Vatersay, the southern part of the Western Isles archipelago off the north west coast of Scotland is home to over 5,000 people.

In this first episode, young musicians in Barra prepare for summer festivals, while Donald Macphee gives us an insight into the world of metal detecting in a Benbecula area rich in history. Morag and Neill get their dancing shoes on to teach quadrilles classes at the Ceòlas festival in South Uist, and Berneray welcomes shepherds from Scotland, Ireland and Europe to the annual sheepdog trials held on the island.
