Series chronicling eight months in the lives of the people of Harris in the Outer Hebrides. The programmes focus mostly on North Harris, an area of rugged beauty with spectacular scenery and wildlife, with the occasional trip to the south of the island, best known for its stunning beaches.

Ten years ago, the people of North Harris took ownership of the land on which they live and the North Harris Trust was formed to run the estate on behalf of the community. It is sparsely populated, with around 700 residents who live in villages dotted around the area. We follow the stories of some of the most engaging characters from this unique island community.

In programme one, Alasdair takes his sheep off the hill for shearing, Robin takes a group out eagle-spotting and we meet shopkeeper Alec in one of Harris's oldest and most unusual shops.

Sreath a tha a' leantainn sgeulachdan cuid dhe na daoine a tha a' fuireach ann an eilean àlainn na Hearadh, gu h-àraid muinntir a chinn a tuath, ach le sgrìob neo dha gu deas cuideachd! An-diugh, tha Alasdair a' toirt na caoraich sios às a bheinn airson an lomadh.

Se coimhearsnachd sgaipte a th'ann le deugachadh de bhailtean beag, ach chaneil ach timcheall air seachd ceud neach a' fuireach anns a cheann a tuath air fad. Gach seachdainn, bi sinn a' cur eòlas air muinntir an àite.

Anns a chiad phrògram, tha Alasdair a' toirt na caoraich sios às a bheinn airson an lomadh, tha Robin a' toirt buidhean a-mach dha na beanntan feuch am faic iad sealladh air iolaire agus bi sinn a' coinneachadh ri Ailig, fear a tha a' ruith buth cho annasach 'sa th'anns na Hearadh.
