Slighe dhan Fh脿saich - Into the Wild

Episode 6 of 21

We meet some people who have embraced Scotland's wild lands and explore whether there's a true wilderness left in Scotland.

Le sluagh air feadh an t-saoghail a' gluasad gu gn脿thaichte gu na bailtean m貌ra, cha robh an iomadh buannachd a gheibhear bhon 脿rainneachd n脿darra, agus an tarraing a th' aig na h-脿iteachan iomallach sin, a-riamh cho follaiseach. Dha m貌ran, tha fuireach anns na h-脿iteachan sin air a thighinn gu bhith na dh貌igh-beatha cunbhalach, fad air falbh bho chomhfhurtachd na
beatha l脿itheil.

A-measg nan daoine ris an coinnich sinn - teaghlach 貌g a bhios a' cur seachad gach samhradh air eilean uaigneach Mhi霉ghlaigh; sgr矛obhadair-turasachd 脿 rubha iomallach Chn貌ideirt a bhios a' togail dhealbhan fhiadh-bheatha; fear a tha st猫idhte sa bhaile mh貌r agus a bhios a' sgr矛obhadh leabhraichean-i霉il 's e ag amas air brosnachadh dhaoine a dhol dhan bhl脿r a-muigh; dithis
pheathraichean bhon Eilean Sgitheanach a st猫idhich boot camp anns an fh脿saich; agus cuid de Chlub Churach Ste貌rnabhaigh 's iad air turas campachaidh gu aon den iomadh eilean far chosta chorrach eilean Le貌dhais.

With the current worldwide population shift towards an urbanised existence, the benefits of getting back in touch with the natural landscape and the lure of these wild remote places has never been greater. For many, living there has become a regular way of life, far from the comforts of modern living.

We meet a young family who spend each summer on the isolated island of Mingulay; an aspiring wildlife photographer and travel writer in remote Knoydart; a city-based guidebook writer who's aim is to get people out to the wild places; two Skye sisters who have set up a wilderness boot camp; and some of the Stornoway Kayak Club as they explore the rugged Lewis coastline and camp out on one of its many offshore islands.
