Grand Tours of the Scottish Islands (2013)
S03E02 Atlantic Frontier: The Uists and Benbecula
Episode Overview
Located thirty miles off the coast of mainland Scotland, the Uists and Benbecula are a series of low-lying islands that confront the powerful Atlantic Ocean. With a landscape dotted more with shimmering freshwater lochs and pools than solid ground, these unspoiled islands boast a remarkable ecosystem. Paul embarks on an adventure that includes fishing for wild sea trout, exploring the intriguing history of South Uist's transformation into a missile testing site, and unveiling the mysteries of the stunning yet abandoned tidal island of Vallay.
