Episode 2 of 26

Dougie is at Ardverikie Estate in Inverness-shire, where he discovers how it is being run by renewables. Meanwhile, Anne serves lunch at a community caf茅 in Sutherland.

In this episode, the team meet the communities taking power into their own hands. Dougie is on his bike at Loch Laggan to visit a location known to millions of viewers as the typical Highland estate in film and TV. However, as he finds out, Ardverikie Estate is focused on adapting to climate change and is plugging into its renewable energy sources.

Shahbaz is at Lochalsh to investigate how the arrival of electricity in the 1940s transformed people鈥檚 lives and the landscape. In Sutherland, Anne is at Bonar Bridge to help serve lunch and hear how a community caf茅 and food hub are helping the community pull together through the energy crisis.

We catch up with our rural vets - Tom in Ayrshire and Mary Jo in Ross-shire - as they respond to call-outs, and Rosie steps inside the home known as the Hobbit House.
