Anns an dara sreath de " Eileanan Fraoich" tha Fraoch Nic an Deòir à Ìle a' fàgail cofhurtachd a dachaidh airson cuairt tro na h-eileanan. Tha i a' tadhal air Colbhasaidh, Muile, Uibhist a Tuath agus Éirisgeidh, sgìre Stafainn san Eilean Sgitheanach agus fearann na Pàirc ann an Leòdhas.

Anns a' phrògram seo tha Fraoch a' cur eòlas air Uibhist a Tuath anns na h-Eileanan an Iar.

Chì i lochan fior-uisg' Uibhist agus feuchaidh i ciamar a théid leatha le iasgach slait còmhla ri fear a tha eòlach air gilleireachd; chì sinn' i a' cuideachadh cruitear a' gluasad a chruidh.
