Christmas arrives on the farms as Donald and Joanna open their new farm shop.

The Frasers experience teething problems with their new farm shop. In Fife, Mike and Pete work on their new joint venture. Emma and Ewan get back to training sheepdogs.

In Loch Ness, the countdown to Christmas begins. Donald and Joanna hit a few teething problems as they open their new farm shop in the middle of a winter storm. Later, with their reindeer event in full swing, they reflect on their year of change.

In Fife, brothers Mike and Pete work in stormy weather to bring the cows in for their first pregnancy scanning, which will reveal how successful their new joint venture has been. The whole family gets involved with a local Clydesdale horse show, in which young colt foal Rocky competes against his older stable mate, Maximus.

As Emma and Ewan near the end of their first year on their new farm in Bute, they are taking the time to return to what they know and love best: training sheepdogs. Later, they reveal a new business plan, which draws on both their strengths.
