My family roots are from Barra. It looks very much like Cape Breton Island in Canada. I can see why many settled there. I hope to visit one day.

I think that Michael Palin and Eric Idle of Monty Python took this presenter as a model for their satires of tour guides and presenters. They mirror his exaggerated gestures and mannerisms perfectly, or perhaps our presenter here learned his style from them. Monty Python fans likely would find this presentation quite comical.

Also, a very good presentation of the communities, history and nature of the islands.

Enjoyed this - great imagery. PS in the section on Fingal's cave I'd be interested in a bit of historical background - why did all those people go there?

Arrived on Lewis via Stornoway. It was near impossible to buy sustenance on sunday but apart from that the island is beautiful and its people are great. Hurray for the Western Isles!

I'm surprised you haven't had many more views and comments! A very thorough series, sympathetically presented, with a lot of feeling for what makes the Gaels and the islands so distinct.
