Seven-part observational documentary series filmed over ten 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 two, it's lambing time for Morag and Neil, and we take a trip with Donald, one of the longest serving crew members on the Loch Portain ferry from Berneray to Harris. Plus we join mobile librarian Donald Ewen as he travels round North Uist.
