Mark, Euan and Claire bring you a special programme recorded this week in Harris.

In the first thirty minutes...

Community Land Scotland Director, David Cameron, explains that 70% of land in the Western Isles is now in community ownership, and how this affects daily life.

Mark sees 15 square kilometres of land which has been cordoned off with electric fencing to encourage tree growth in North Harris.

Where is the boundary between Lewis and Harris? Local historian, Bill Lawson, gives us the answer.

Mark tours a Harris Tweed mill, Kenneth Mackenzie Ltd, in the company of Director, Alex Lockerby.

After the news...
