Ann am "Bailtean Fraoich" tha Fraoch Nic an De貌ir a 脤le a' tadhal air feadhainn dhe na bailtean cladaich is iomallaiche agus is b貌idhche. A' siubhal tro bhailtean air t矛r-m貌r, coimhearsnachdan eileanach, agus rubhaichean farsainn, tha i tuigsinn nach leig thu leas fuireach air eilean airson a bhi cleachde ri beatha eileanaich.

Anns a' chiad phr貌gram san t-sreath, tha Fraoch a'd猫anamh air Sligachan san Eilean Sgitheanach. Bhon drochaid chloiche a dhealbhaich T貌mas Telford tha i a' tionndadh dhan iar, gu sg矛re Mhinginis. Ch矛 i sealladh eireachdail de dhruim beanntan a' Chuilthinn agus i a' coiseachd gu Gleann Bhreadail an cuideachd Dh脿naidh MhicLe貌id, gu Glumagan na S矛thichean. Air tr脿igh ann an Aoineart tha i a' lorg muir-sgian - se貌rsa maoraich nach fhac' i riamh roimhe. Agus tha an t-iasgair Calum MacFhionghuin ga cuideachadh gu r霉n a cridhe - iolair-mara fhaicinn faisg air l脿imh.

Islay-born Heather Dewar visits some of Scotland's most picturesque and remote coastal communities. Travelling through mainland villages, Hebridean communities and vast peninsulas she realises that you don't need to live on an island to experience the life of an islander.

In the first programme in the series, Heather travels to Sligachan in central Skye. From Thomas Telford's beautiful stone bridge, she begins her journey west through the Minginish peninsula. She takes in the breathtaking view of the Cuillin Ridge as she walks with Danny Macleod to the Fairy Pools in Glen Brittle.

On a beach in Eynort, she goes in search of the razor clam - a type of shellfish she hasn't seen before.

And fisherman Calum MacKinnon helps her fulfil a long held ambition - to see a sea eagle at close range.
