Islay-born artist Heather Dewar has had a love of portrait drawing from a young age and relishes the challenge of capturing someone's likeness. In this programme, Heather travels to Elgol on Skye to meet Ewan MacKinnon. Although in his seventies, Ewan still works full time as an electrician and only recently stood down from the local mountain rescue team after almost half a century of service. Heather and Ewan share the same philosophy - age is just a number.
