Crofting in the Wild West
Richard Baynes talks to a couple reaping the rewards of island crofting, and facing its challenges, including the UK鈥檚 only re-introduced apex predator.
In Scotland鈥檚 Western Isles, crofters are determined to do more than just cling on to an old way of life. Donald John Cameron and his partner Linsay Robertson have returned to his native South Uist with big plans to turn his multi-croft holding into a thriving business, complete with agritourism, that they can pass on to their young daughter. But as well as the challenges of building their business on an island, they must deal with the reappearance of the white-tailed or sea eagle, which they believe is damaging their operation.
Produced and presented by Richard Baynes
