The Outer Hebrides are made up of more than 100 islands off the coast of Scotland. Three of them are called the Shiant Isles – they are tiny, uninhabited islands, very wild and very beautiful. They used to belong to a man called Adam Nicolson. He inherited them from his father when he was 21. Rather an unusual inheritance, but Adam says they've taught him a lot about life and love. And just how noisy an uninhabited place can be... Adam wrote a book about the islands called Sea Room: An Island Life.
