Seven-part observational documentary series filmed over 10 months which follows the stories of some of the people who live and work on the Hebridean islands of Uist. From Berneray in the north to Eriskay in the south, the islands that make up the Uists are home to around 5,000 people. Most people live on the islands of Benbecula, North and South Uist, and the smaller islands of Eriskay, Grimsay and Berneray each have fewer than 200 residents. Although causeways now connect all the islands, they still retain their individual island identity and strong sense of community.
In programme one, it's North Uist Games day, a big event in the summer calendar. We meet young shepherds Archie and Ben, and outdoor enthusiast and head gamekeeper Rory McGillivray. In South Uist, Angus and Neil are busy gathering seafood for export to Spain.
