It’s the middle of summer and Sweeny is taking advantage of the fantastic Lewis weather during the hottest summer on record, as he and David do some work on the house which he plans to let for self-catering.

Sweeny takes a trip to Uist to meet crofting legend Ena MacDonald, who is an expert on Highland cattle, and also visits ‘Uist Wool’ as he explores ways to make the most of his Hebridean sheeps’ fleeces. There is also a big community day in Ness for the tractor run, and his dad comes to the rescue when Sweeny struggles to get his pigs loaded into the trailer! Show less
