Paul Murton continues his island odyssey, exploring the remote and fascinating places which scatter our coastline, and meeting the people who call these Islands home.

In this episode, Paul explores a cluster of islands in the Outer Hebrides, beginning in Berneray, just off the North Uist coast. From there he heads south to capture the colours of Grimsay, and then weaves through the marram grass of Kirkibost, ending on the deserted whisky island of Pabbay.

Paul continues around the coast of the Long Island of Harris and Lewis, beginning on Scarp, travelling north to Great Bernera, then south east to Scalpay. These islands may seem to exist in the shadow of their much larger neighbours, but Paul discovers they have a distinct identity all of their own, as he hears remarkable stories of crofter rebellions, rocket mail and a rich local culture.
