Martin is given a taste of island life when pal Phil takes him on a journey back to his family's homeland of the Western Isles of Scotland.
After an unexpected Hebridean pipe-playing welcome at the airport in Stornoway, Martin and Phil embark on their island odyssey.
To give Martin a flavour of Gaelic life, they first head for a brunch-time rendezvous with the Hebridean Baker, Coinneach MacLeod. At the tiny village of Cromore, the boys join Coinneach, his partner Peter and little Scottie dog Seoras to cook up a local recipe in the ruins of an old croft.
Next stop is Stornoway, where the boys have an appointment at the barbers to meet Syrian refugee Ousama and his eldest son Abdullah to see how the family have been settling into the Western Isle life. They leave Lewis behind for the dramatic landscape of Harris, where they meet local artist and photographer Danielle MacLeod and take part in her latest photo shoot.
Day two sees the boys taking the ferry to Uist, and an emotional homecoming for Phil at his late grannie's house in Garrynamonie, where as a boy he used to spend his summers. Finally, it鈥檚 Martin鈥檚 debut for Eriskay Football club in their first game of the season - but not before he and Phil lend a hand to clean the FIFA-awarded pitch of its livestock detritus.
