0:00:24 > 0:00:26# Over the sea to Struay. #
0:00:32 > 0:00:35My name is Katie Morag McColl,
0:00:35 > 0:00:37and I live on the island of Struay.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41I suppose it's quite wee, but it's ginormous to me.
0:00:41 > 0:00:46Everyone 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 Poohsticks.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13And I think it's the best place in the whole entire world,
0:01:13 > 0:01:16and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21# Katie Morag. #
0:01:21 > 0:01:25You know how some mornings your bed feels so cosy and warm
0:01:25 > 0:01:28that even if your mum calls and calls you,
0:01:28 > 0:01:31you just want to stay all snuggled up?
0:01:31 > 0:01:34Well, this wasn't one of those days!
0:01:34 > 0:01:38I couldn't wait to get up and started, cos Mum had said
0:01:38 > 0:01:42she'd come to the burn with me for a game of Poohsticks!
0:01:42 > 0:01:45I love playing games like hopscotch and tig,
0:01:45 > 0:01:49and I'm the Struay World Champion at hide-and-seek,
0:01:49 > 0:01:54but Poohsticks is my absolute, number-one, all-time favourite.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05Morning. Just the usual, please.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Aye, aye. On your own today, eh?
0:02:09 > 0:02:14Peter's doing his accounts. Left it to the last minute, as usual!
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Enjoying yourself through there, Mr McColl?
0:02:16 > 0:02:21I'd rather swim across the Boggy Loch with my kilt on, if I'm honest.
0:02:21 > 0:02:22Excuse me.
0:02:22 > 0:02:23Katie Mo...!
0:02:25 > 0:02:26Morning, Mum!
0:02:26 > 0:02:28Oh, my goodness!
0:02:28 > 0:02:32Well, that's a first! Up and ready after only one yell.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34You haven't even got your wellies on!
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Why would I need my wellies?
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Remember, you, me and Teddy, Poohsticks?
0:02:39 > 0:02:43Poohsticks! I completely forgot!
0:02:43 > 0:02:46Don't worry. I've reminded you!
0:02:46 > 0:02:48- Katie Morag, I can't.- What?!
0:02:48 > 0:02:52Your dad's doing paperwork and I'm needed in the shop!
0:02:52 > 0:02:54But you p-p-promised!
0:02:54 > 0:02:56I'm sorry, sweetheart. I just can't.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58Not today.
0:03:26 > 0:03:27What's up?
0:03:27 > 0:03:30Mum doesn't want to play with me.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32She'd love to play with you.
0:03:32 > 0:03:36It's just... Sometimes grown-ups can't play.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38Sometimes we have to work.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40She's always working!
0:03:40 > 0:03:41Not always.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50A couple of letters arrived for Grannie Island.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Maybe you could deliver them?
0:03:52 > 0:03:54She might give you one of her special treats!
0:03:54 > 0:03:56I don't want a treat!
0:03:56 > 0:03:59Well, could you do it for me?
0:04:01 > 0:04:04It would be a really big favour.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06I suppose so.
0:04:06 > 0:04:07Good girl.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31Sorry, little sticks. Mrs McColl can't play today.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34Far too many other things to do!
0:04:59 > 0:05:02No' getting to play with Mum,
0:05:02 > 0:05:03wet feet...
0:05:03 > 0:05:06Today isn't going too well for you, is it?
0:05:07 > 0:05:10Now, what do I have for cold toes?
0:05:29 > 0:05:32Oh, I had a feeling you'd like these.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39What about my wellies? They're wet, too.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Oh, so they are.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49What do you reckon?
0:05:49 > 0:05:50They're brilliant!
0:05:52 > 0:05:56- Come on, pop them on. - Did you paint them with rainbows?
0:05:56 > 0:05:59- No, no. That was Izzy.- Who's Izzy?
0:05:59 > 0:06:03Oh, she's a wee pal of mine. A girl about your age.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05These are her wellies.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Doesn't she still need them?
0:06:07 > 0:06:11No, she has new ones.
0:06:11 > 0:06:16In fact, I've got quite a few things that she doesn't use any more.
0:06:16 > 0:06:17Can I see them?
0:06:17 > 0:06:21Well, of course! They're all in a big old case.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24# But you'll have to find them! #
0:06:29 > 0:06:30Och, you're cold.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Even colder!
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Absolutely freezing!
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Oh, you're getting warmer!
0:06:53 > 0:06:55Warm now.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Yes!
0:07:06 > 0:07:07There you go.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12'I'd never seen such fabulous things.
0:07:12 > 0:07:17- 'There were photos and toys and a lot of other things...'- Her again.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20'..made from seashells and pebbles and bits of string.'
0:07:20 > 0:07:22That's her old teddy.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25'She even had a teddy just like mine.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28'But best of all were Izzy's paintings.'
0:07:30 > 0:07:31What's this?
0:07:31 > 0:07:34That's her down at the rock pool.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37She always has great adventures down there.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43- And this?- Oh, that's her down at the Clootie Tree.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48And what's this?
0:07:48 > 0:07:52Well, that's her playing Poohsticks. It's her favourite game.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55That's my favourite game as well!
0:07:55 > 0:07:59Well, maybe you should play it with her sometime!
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Does she still come to Struay?
0:08:01 > 0:08:05I believe she's here right now. Do you want to go and find her?
0:08:05 > 0:08:07- Yes, please!- Come on, then.
0:08:13 > 0:08:14She's not here.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19- Well, she definitely was here. - How do you know?
0:08:19 > 0:08:22She painted her name on that rock.
0:08:22 > 0:08:23Oh!
0:08:26 > 0:08:29Come on, we might have missed her!
0:08:43 > 0:08:45Nice day for it, Neilly Beag!
0:08:45 > 0:08:48Aye, indeed it is that, Grannie Island!
0:08:48 > 0:08:50- We're looking for Izzy.- Izzy?
0:08:50 > 0:08:55Aye, a lass about Katie Morag's age. Looks like her too.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58We were wondering if she might want to play!
0:08:58 > 0:09:01Och, aye. I know her very well!
0:09:01 > 0:09:05- In fact, she made me a present!- Oh?
0:09:06 > 0:09:07She made it all herself!
0:09:07 > 0:09:09Oh, would you look at that?!
0:09:09 > 0:09:13'So Neilly Beag knew Izzy, too. Where could she be?'
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Cheery-bye!
0:09:21 > 0:09:24- She's not here! - Well, she definitely was here.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26How do you know?
0:09:26 > 0:09:27I brought her here myself.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Quite often, actually.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32The Clootie Tree was her favourite place.
0:09:32 > 0:09:37And she'd always tie something onto one of the branches for luck!
0:09:41 > 0:09:43For luck!
0:09:43 > 0:09:46Come on. We'll try the bridge.
0:09:59 > 0:10:04- This is where I wanted to play with Mum.- I know.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06But she's always working.
0:10:06 > 0:10:11If Izzy had been here, maybe she could have played with me.
0:10:11 > 0:10:12Let's get you home.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16Maybe we'll find her on the way, eh? Come on.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24DOOR OPENS
0:10:25 > 0:10:27There we go.
0:10:28 > 0:10:32- Fine day for it, Peter! - So they tell me.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35- Still working away? - Aye, no rest for the handsome!
0:10:35 > 0:10:38- Oh-ho!- What have you two been up to?
0:10:38 > 0:10:40We've been looking for someone.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43Yes, we went all over the island looking for her.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46We went to the rock pool, the Clootie Tree and the bridge
0:10:46 > 0:10:49- but we still couldn't find her! - Find who?
0:10:49 > 0:10:53A girl called Izzy. She's a friend of Grannie Island's.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58Maybe it's time I took a break.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02- Hi, Mum!- Hey, sweetheart!
0:11:02 > 0:11:06- We've been looking for Grannie Island's little friend.- Really?
0:11:06 > 0:11:10We looked in a few places, but we couldn't find her.
0:11:10 > 0:11:11SHE COUGHS
0:11:11 > 0:11:13That's nice.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17Grannie Island gave me a pair of her wellies. Look!
0:11:17 > 0:11:19- In a minute, sweetheart.- Isobel!
0:11:19 > 0:11:22She painted them with rainbows. See?
0:11:32 > 0:11:34So she did.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36I wish we could have found her, Mum.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47Come with me. I know where you might find her.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54That's her there.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57She looks just like me!
0:11:57 > 0:12:00She's like you in lots of ways!
0:12:00 > 0:12:04Always out and about, always looking for adventure.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06She loves playing Poohsticks.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09Mmm! She's champion at Poohsticks!
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Better than me?
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Better than anyone!
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Mum, it's you! You're Izzy!
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Come on, let's go.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26What for?
0:12:29 > 0:12:30One, two, three...
0:12:30 > 0:12:32Go!
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Come on! Come on!
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Mine was way ahead!
0:12:41 > 0:12:43I think you must need glasses!
0:12:43 > 0:12:45Here they come! Here they come!
0:12:45 > 0:12:49Yes! Yes!
0:12:49 > 0:12:53Struay Island champion for the 58th year running!
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Woo-hoo! Ha-ha-ha!
0:12:55 > 0:12:58And THAT'S how you play Poohsticks!
0:12:58 > 0:13:02Ha-ha-ha! Yes!
0:13:06 > 0:13:08I was so glad I found Izzy.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12Mum said she hadn't had so much fun for a long time.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16And then she said it made her remember what fun being little was.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19It's just like Grannie Island says, really,
0:13:19 > 0:13:24grown-ups are just like children, only with wrinkles.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Goodnight, Grannie Island.
