Anns an t-sreath-sa bidh sinn a' faighinn a-mach dè a tha a' dol air adhart air cùl ghnothaichean aig puirt-adhair na Gàidhealtachd is nan Eilean tro shùilean an fheadhainn a tha ag obair annta, agus bidh sinn a' coinneachadh ri feadhainn eile a bhios a' sgèith airson spòrs.

An t-seachdain-sa, tha cùisean trang aig Port-adhair Steòrnabhaigh. Tha luchd-smalaidh air an cois trath, tha sgioba Loganair air an cumail a' dol, agus tha Dooley anns a' chafaidh a' dèanamh cinnteach nach eil duine leis an t-acras.

Tha Club Glaidhdear na Gàidhealtachd a' cumail a' chiad fharpais dhen t-seusan, agus tha pìleatan glaidhdear bho air feadh Alba air tighinn a dh'fheuchainn air. Ach tha buaidh aig an aimsir orra agus tha cuid a' tighinn sìos ann an achaidhean mìltean air falbh bhon chluba.

Viewers get a behind-the-scenes look at airports across the Highlands and islands, through the eyes of the people who work there, and we also meet some people who take to the skies for leisure.

The fire team at Stornoway Airport is on the go from 6.00am every morning to make sure everything is ready for the airport to open at 7.00am, which includes launching their rescue boat in Broad Bay. Plus the Loganair team are kept busy and Dooley in the cafe makes sure nobody goes hungry.

The Highland Gliding Club is hosting the first competition of the season and pilots from across Scotland have arrived to take part. But the weather is challenging, and some gliders land in fields miles away from the club. In Wick, Andrew Bruce is kept on the hop, fuelling a range of aircraft from offshore helicopters to corporate charters.
