Last of a six-part documentary following the transformation of Lews Castle from semi-ruin to state-of-the-art heritage and hospitality centrepiece.

Tha Dualchas a' Chaisteil a' leantainn turas Caisteal Le貌dhais a bha uair na thogalach uasal Bhict貌rionach ach a thuit 脿s a ch猫ile, agus e a-nis ag atharrachadh gu taigh-tasgaidh spaideil dualchasach s貌nraichte, agus ionad aoigheachd s貌nraichte. Bliadhna na b' anmoiche na bhathar an d霉il tha an dreach 霉r 脿lainn de Chaisteal Le貌dhais agus Museum nan Eilean deiseil son fosgladh. Tha an t-脿ite gu trang leis an ullachadh mu dheireadh airson an l脿 mh貌r.

Anns a' chaisteal tha luchd-obrach a' chafaidh 霉ir agus cuideachd neach no dh脿 air a bheil sinn e貌lach nam boil agus iad a' d猫anamh deiseil. Chan eil d脿il no dh脿 aig a' mhionaid mu dheireadh na annas, ach le l脿 m貌r an fhosglaidh a' teannadh dl霉th, chan eil e coltach ris an deireadh idir - ach toiseach-t貌iseachaidh 霉r.

The Castle follows the transformation of towering Victorian vision Lews Castle from semi-ruin to a landmark Art Heritage and a Hospitality centre-piece. A year later than planned the spectacular new Lews Castle and Museum nan Eilean are finally ready to open. It's a hive of activity on site as final preparations take place for the big day.

In the castle, new cafe and kitchen staff are frantically learning the ropes and some more familiar faces are being put through their paces too. A few last-minute glitches are to be expected but as opening day dawns it doesn't feel like the end - its feels like just the beginning.
