Ann am "Bailtean Fraoich" tha Fraoch Nic an Deòir a Ìle a' tadhal air feadhainn dhe na bailtean cladaich is iomallaiche agus is bòidhche. A' siubhal tro bhailtean air tìr-mòr, coimhearsnachdan eileanach, agus rubhaichean farsainn, tha i tuigsinn nach leig thu leas fuireach air eilean airson a bhi cleachde ri beatha eileanaich.

Anns a' chiad phrògram san t-sreath, tha Fraoch a'dèanamh air Sligachan san Eilean Sgitheanach. Bhon drochaid chloiche a dhealbhaich Tòmas Telford tha i a' tionndadh dhan iar, gu sgìre Mhinginis. Chì i sealladh eireachdail de dhruim beanntan a' Chuilthinn agus i a' coiseachd gu Gleann Bhreadail an cuideachd Dhànaidh MhicLeòid, gu Glumagan na Sìthichean. Air tràigh ann an Aoineart tha i a' lorg muir-sgian - seòrsa maoraich nach fhac' i riamh roimhe. Agus tha an t-iasgair Calum MacFhionghuin ga cuideachadh gu rùn a cridhe - iolair-mara fhaicinn faisg air làimh.

Islay-born Heather Dewar visits some of Scotland's most picturesque and remote coastal communities. Travelling through mainland villages, Hebridean communities and vast peninsulas she realises that you don't need to live on an island to experience the life of an islander.

In the first programme in the series, Heather travels to Sligachan in central Skye. From Thomas Telford's beautiful stone bridge, she begins her journey west through the Minginish peninsula. She takes in the breathtaking view of the Cuillin Ridge as she walks with Danny Macleod to the Fairy Pools in Glen Brittle.

On a beach in Eynort, she goes in search of the razor clam - a type of shellfish she hasn't seen before.

And fisherman Calum MacKinnon helps her fulfil a long held ambition - to see a sea eagle at close range. Show less
