0:00:32 > 0:00:37'My name is Katie Morag McColl, and I live on the island of Struay.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41'I suppose it's quite wee, but it's ginormous to me, and everyone
0:00:41 > 0:00:45'looks out for me when I'm out and about having my adventures.'
0:00:47 > 0:00:49This is where I live, with my family.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52My mum and dad run the shop and post office.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55This is the bedroom I share with my brother Liam.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58My mum says it's an absolute midden.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02This is the croft where Grannie Island lives,
0:01:02 > 0:01:04with her animals and hens.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07This is the Redburn Bridge where I play Pooh sticks.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13'And I think it's the best place in the whole entire world,
0:01:13 > 0:01:15'and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else.'
0:01:18 > 0:01:20# Katie Morag... #
0:01:20 > 0:01:22'I've got two grandmothers...
0:01:22 > 0:01:25'Grannie Island with her tractor and croft,
0:01:25 > 0:01:28'and Granma Mainland with her jewels and hats.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31'They're both as different as different could be!
0:01:31 > 0:01:36'I could never choose which one I liked the best.'
0:01:36 > 0:01:38Rise and shine, Katie Morag!
0:01:38 > 0:01:41Granma Mainland will be here any minute!
0:01:42 > 0:01:45Oh, look at this room -
0:01:45 > 0:01:48it's an absolute midden!
0:01:48 > 0:01:52And don't let Granma Mainland see your hair like that!
0:01:52 > 0:01:54What's wrong with it?
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Katie Morag...brush.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03Brush...Katie Morag.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13HONK-HONK!
0:02:14 > 0:02:19'Granma Mainland always brings five pink cases when she comes to visit!
0:02:19 > 0:02:23'They're jam-packed with all her wee essentials.'
0:02:23 > 0:02:24Granma Mainland!
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Katie Morag!
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Grannie Island doesn't have any wee essentials...
0:02:53 > 0:02:58Apart from her screwdriver and her key to the tractor of course!
0:02:58 > 0:03:01Will you be kissing and cuddling all day
0:03:01 > 0:03:03or are we going to get these cases in?
0:03:06 > 0:03:09Squoosh, squoosh, squoosh, squoosh!
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Are you going to the show today, Granma?
0:03:11 > 0:03:13Going to the show?
0:03:13 > 0:03:16That's the very reason I'm here!
0:03:16 > 0:03:19And to see you, of course!
0:03:19 > 0:03:22'I always like looking through Granma's wee essentials,
0:03:22 > 0:03:25'though I'm never quite sure what they're for!'
0:03:25 > 0:03:27That's a very important one!
0:03:29 > 0:03:32It's what keeps my hair shiny and soft!
0:03:35 > 0:03:37This one smells of Jelly Babies!
0:03:37 > 0:03:40Very expensive Jelly Babies!
0:03:42 > 0:03:43Wrinkle cream.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45But you don't have any wrinkles!
0:03:45 > 0:03:47And why do you think THAT is?
0:03:47 > 0:03:51There! Now I won't have any wrinkles either!
0:03:51 > 0:03:52Morning!
0:03:52 > 0:03:54That'll be Neilly Beag!
0:03:55 > 0:03:56Right...
0:03:59 > 0:04:01..I'll do your hair first.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Five pink cases...FIVE!
0:04:06 > 0:04:10What would she need them for if she's only staying a week?!
0:04:10 > 0:04:14Just cos you'd be putting all your stuff into a cardboard box!
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Aye, on the back of the tractor!
0:04:16 > 0:04:20All those lotions and potions and powders and puffs.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24No good for anything! No good for anything at all!
0:04:24 > 0:04:28Heavens above! What on Earth have you done to your hair?
0:04:28 > 0:04:30She's looking grand.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Aye, well... Are you ready to go?
0:04:32 > 0:04:35- Yup!- Come on then. Alecina will be getting nervous!
0:04:35 > 0:04:37Look! No wrinkles!
0:04:39 > 0:04:41'Summer's my favourite time on Struay,
0:04:41 > 0:04:44'and Show Day's my favourite day!
0:04:44 > 0:04:49'It's the busiest too, with visitors all the way from Mallaig
0:04:49 > 0:04:50'and Tobermory.'
0:04:50 > 0:04:53'Every year we have a baking contest,
0:04:53 > 0:04:55'but we always know who the winners will be!
0:04:55 > 0:04:59'Neilly Beag's meringues, Mrs Ferryman's chocolate cake
0:04:59 > 0:05:01'and the nurse's jammy doughnuts!
0:05:01 > 0:05:04'Last year I ate five, and I was hardly sick at all!
0:05:04 > 0:05:08'There's a pet's corner where the children show off their rabbits
0:05:08 > 0:05:11'and chickens and cats and even geese!
0:05:11 > 0:05:14'And there's oodles of home-made jam and gingerbread
0:05:14 > 0:05:17'and really yummy sweeties!
0:05:17 > 0:05:21'But the main thing on Show Day is the Grand Struay Sheep Contest!
0:05:21 > 0:05:25'It's really important and everyone's desperate to win.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28'Especially Neilly Beag and Grannie Island.'
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Ocht, she's a looker, all right!
0:05:31 > 0:05:35Have you ever seen four finer legs?!
0:05:35 > 0:05:36Very impressive!
0:05:36 > 0:05:39And one leg at each corner!
0:05:39 > 0:05:43'Granny Island's sheep Alecina has won the top prize seven years
0:05:43 > 0:05:47'in a row, but this time Neilly Beag was feeling lucky.'
0:05:47 > 0:05:50We'll be taking that trophy home today.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52I can feel it in my water!
0:05:53 > 0:05:56'I couldn't wait to get to the show,
0:05:56 > 0:05:58'but first we had to pick up Alecina.'
0:06:00 > 0:06:02Alecina!
0:06:02 > 0:06:03Alecina!
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Alec-i-ina..!
0:06:06 > 0:06:09- ALECINA! - Oh, today of all days.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Do you think she forgot?
0:06:12 > 0:06:15She does it on purpose - typical prima donna!
0:06:15 > 0:06:16- Alecina!- Alecina!
0:06:16 > 0:06:18ALECINA!
0:06:18 > 0:06:21'She wasn't behind the croft...'
0:06:22 > 0:06:25- Alecina! - ..she wasn't inside the shed!
0:06:25 > 0:06:28'She wasn't even in the back field!'
0:06:28 > 0:06:29ALECINA!
0:06:29 > 0:06:32- ALEC-INA!- ALECINA!
0:06:34 > 0:06:37Where on Earth has that SILLY creature got to?!
0:06:39 > 0:06:41- BOTH:- Oh, no!
0:06:42 > 0:06:43SHE SIGHS
0:06:43 > 0:06:47'She was slap-bang in the middle of the Boggy Loch,
0:06:47 > 0:06:49'and she was absolutely filthy!'
0:06:52 > 0:06:57Oh, these peat stains aren't budging. Give her another rinse!
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Oh, what a fankle!
0:07:01 > 0:07:04If that old bodach Neilly Beag wins my trophy
0:07:04 > 0:07:06I don't know WHAT I'll do.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09'It isn't often Grannie Island gets worried,
0:07:09 > 0:07:11'but she seemed REALLY worried now.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15'And that's when I had one of my super-brilliant ideas!'
0:07:15 > 0:07:18How long till the judging starts?
0:07:19 > 0:07:22About an hour, why?
0:07:22 > 0:07:24I THINK I know how to fix this...
0:07:32 > 0:07:36Would you like some sugar... or are you sweet enough already?!
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Och, you do talk nonsense, Neilly Beag!
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Maybe just a wee half-spoonful.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Oh...
0:07:50 > 0:07:53- Somebody's in a hurry! - BIKE BELL TINKLES
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Is the coast clear?
0:08:02 > 0:08:04They must be at the show!
0:08:04 > 0:08:07Do you really think this is going to work?
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Gotcha!
0:08:16 > 0:08:17That's it.
0:08:18 > 0:08:23"Silver Secret... for that elegant platinum shine."
0:08:23 > 0:08:27Well, it seems to be working. Well done, Katie Morag!
0:08:29 > 0:08:32I shouldn't even have entered them!
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Of course you should!
0:08:34 > 0:08:36They're as heavy as house bricks!
0:08:36 > 0:08:40Nonsense! They're just, you know...generous!
0:08:42 > 0:08:44Ow!
0:08:44 > 0:08:46- What...?!- Nothing!

0:11:54 > 0:11:55Aye.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58Is that not a wee bit like telling a fib?
0:11:59 > 0:12:03Well, now... that's a very important question.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18Well, I'll say this for her...
