'My name is Katie Morag McColl and I live on the island of Struay. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:37 | |
'I suppose it's quite wee but it's ginormous to me | 0:00:37 | 0:00:41 | |
'and everyone looks out for me | 0:00:41 | 0:00:42 | |
'when I'm out and about having my adventures.' | 0:00:42 | 0:00:46 | |
This is where I live with my family. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:48 | |
My mum and dad run the shop and post office. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:51 | |
This is the bedroom I share with my brother, Liam. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:55 | |
My mum says it's an absolute midden. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:58 | |
This is the croft where Grannie Island lives | 0:00:58 | 0:01:01 | |
with her animals and hens. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:03 | |
This is the village where Neilly Beag lives! | 0:01:03 | 0:01:08 | |
Hello! How're you doing? | 0:01:08 | 0:01:10 | |
'And I think it's the best place in the whole entire world | 0:01:10 | 0:01:13 | |
'and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else.' | 0:01:13 | 0:01:16 | |

'I reckon balloons must be the greatest invention, ever. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:26 | |
'You can play with them, use them as decorations, or just blow them up... | 0:01:26 | 0:01:30 | |
'and let them go. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:32 | |
'So I couldn't believe it when Mum said a real-life | 0:01:32 | 0:01:35 | |
'hot-air balloon with someone in it, | 0:01:35 | 0:01:37 | |
'was going to be flying over Struay. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:40 | |
'I figured we should send up a wee one of our own to say hello. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:44 | |
'Problem is, normal balloons don't float very well. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:47 | |
'You can throw them up, but they come right back down again. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:51 | |
'I needed to come up with an extra specially brilliant idea. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
'And that's exactly what I did.' | 0:01:54 | 0:01:57 | |
-RADIO ANNOUNCER: -'As Hollywood superstar Candice Kennedy approaches | 0:01:57 | 0:02:00 | |
'the end of her round-the-world balloon challenge, | 0:02:00 | 0:02:03 | |
'she's taken a detour over the Hebridean island of Struay.' | 0:02:03 | 0:02:06 | |
-See! I told you. -Isn't that something! | 0:02:06 | 0:02:09 | |
She's putting Struay on the map! | 0:02:09 | 0:02:10 | |
Och, Struay's already on the map! Last time I looked, anyway. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:15 | |
I'm not sure about all this. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:17 | |
-RADIO ANNOUNCER: -'In her latest movie, she plays Flora MacDonald, | 0:02:17 | 0:02:20 | |
'the Hebridean heroine who helped Bonnie Prince Charlie | 0:02:20 | 0:02:22 | |
'avoid capture after the Battle of Culloden. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:25 | |
'Miss Kennedy herself spent a summer on Struay as a child, | 0:02:25 | 0:02:28 | |
'and says Scotland has always had a special place in her heart...' | 0:02:28 | 0:02:32 | |
-Oh, isn't that lovely! -I've never heard of her. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:36 | |
Away ye go! She's famous. Look. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:39 | |
Well, surely I'd remember her, if she'd spent a summer on this island? | 0:02:44 | 0:02:48 | |
-I'm really not sure about all this. -Dad? -Yes, sweetheart? | 0:02:50 | 0:02:53 | |
Could I have a wee cup of bubbles so I can | 0:02:53 | 0:02:56 | |
blow them into the sky to say hello? | 0:02:56 | 0:02:58 | |
That's a great idea. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:00 | |
Well, you better move fast, or you'll miss her! | 0:03:00 | 0:03:03 | |
'If balloons of the best invention ever, bubbles are the second-best. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:10 | |
'But blowing them isn't as easy as it looks. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:13 | |
'Especially when your little brother likes bursting them | 0:03:15 | 0:03:17 | |
'every bit as much as you like blowing them.' | 0:03:17 | 0:03:20 | |
-Any sign? -Not yet. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:24 | |
'I couldn't help wondering where all my bubbles had gone. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:30 | |
'Maybe they did reach the big balloon, | 0:03:30 | 0:03:32 | |
'and they're flying across the big sea with the world-famous film star.' | 0:03:32 | 0:03:36 | |
I don't think she's coming. | 0:03:46 | 0:03:48 | |
It wouldn't take much to blow her off course. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:50 | |
Look at the way those bubbles are going! | 0:03:50 | 0:03:52 | |
That's a shame. I've never seen anyone famous before. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:55 | |
You see them on the telly every night, sweetheart. | 0:03:55 | 0:03:58 | |
-It doesn't count either on the telly, Peter! -Can't even find us. | 0:03:58 | 0:04:01 | |
Shows you how much she knows about Struay. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:04 | |
-GRANNIE ISLAND SIGHS -I'm not at all sure about this. | 0:04:04 | 0:04:07 | |
Now, remember to tell Uncle Matthew everybody's asking for him. | 0:04:25 | 0:04:30 | |
Mum, what does famous mean? | 0:04:30 | 0:04:34 | |
You know what famous means. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:36 | |
-I do know that Dad's famous. -Is he? | 0:04:36 | 0:04:40 | |
For being voted the best shopkeeper here in Struay. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:43 | |
He's the ONLY shopkeeper here, in Struay. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:47 | |
-But he has won it three years in a row. -That's true. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:51 | |
And he said that you were famous for burning the porridge. | 0:04:51 | 0:04:55 | |
Oh-ho-ho! Did he now? | 0:04:55 | 0:04:57 | |
Though I also said I'd grown to love its unique, smoky taste. | 0:04:57 | 0:05:02 | |
Hmmm. Well. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:05 | |
There's famous and there's famous-famous, | 0:05:05 | 0:05:08 | |
and Candice Kennedy is what you would call famous-famous. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:13 | |
Right. Come on, you two! Uncle Matthew's waiting. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:16 | |
I love walking to Uncle Matthew's house with Dad, | 0:05:18 | 0:05:21 | |
because we always see something new. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:24 | |
This time, it was holiday-makers snorkelling in the water. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:27 | |
So how do people become famous-famous? | 0:05:35 | 0:05:38 | |
Oh, well. Lots of different ways. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:42 | |
Could be actors on the telly, | 0:05:42 | 0:05:43 | |
or pop stars, or they could play shinty for Kingussie. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:48 | |
But why do they become famous if they're only just doing their job? | 0:05:48 | 0:05:52 | |
Good question. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:54 | |
-So, who decides who becomes famous? -Well, we do, I suppose. | 0:05:54 | 0:05:59 | |
Ordinary folk, like us. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:01 | |
So long as we like reading about them, | 0:06:01 | 0:06:03 | |
the papers will keep on writing about them. | 0:06:03 | 0:06:05 | |
Would you like to be as famous as Candice Kennedy? | 0:06:05 | 0:06:08 | |
Me? No way! | 0:06:08 | 0:06:10 | |
'I was glad Dad wasn't famous, because that meant | 0:06:10 | 0:06:13 | |
'I had him all to myself. | 0:06:13 | 0:06:15 | |
'We could do the things we always did without people bothering us. | 0:06:15 | 0:06:19 | |
'We could climb the hills like we always did, | 0:06:19 | 0:06:22 | |
'we could walk beside loch like we always did, | 0:06:22 | 0:06:25 | |
'we could cut through the muck at the bog, like we always did. | 0:06:25 | 0:06:29 | |
'Thank goodness I was wearing my wellies. | 0:06:29 | 0:06:31 | |
'And, when we finally arrived at uncle Matthew's house, we'd see him | 0:06:33 | 0:06:36 | |
'smiling and waving at us, just like he always did. Except this time...' | 0:06:36 | 0:06:41 | |
-Matthew! -Matthew! | 0:06:41 | 0:06:44 | |
'..he didn't!' | 0:06:44 | 0:06:45 | |
Matthew, we're here! | 0:06:49 | 0:06:51 | |
'Everything looked a bit strange. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:53 | |
'The vegetable garden was only half done, | 0:06:53 | 0:06:55 | |
'and everything looked a bit of a mess, even messier than usual. | 0:06:55 | 0:06:59 | |
'Strangest of all, two empty plates | 0:06:59 | 0:07:01 | |
'and two glasses of elderberry fizz were sitting on the garden table. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:06 | |
'Why would Uncle Matthew need two plates and two glasses?' | 0:07:06 | 0:07:09 | |
-Matthew! Ah, they you are! -Hello! | 0:07:09 | 0:07:14 | |
What's with the plates and...? | 0:07:14 | 0:07:17 | |
I... have a visitor! Heh. | 0:07:17 | 0:07:21 | |
-You never have visitors. -Except us. | 0:07:21 | 0:07:24 | |
Well, I do today. | 0:07:24 | 0:07:25 | |
'Matthew!' | 0:07:26 | 0:07:28 | |
RADIO ANNOUNCER: 'Hollywood star, Candice Kennedy, | 0:07:31 | 0:07:33 | |
'was due to arrive in Flodigarry an hour ago, | 0:07:33 | 0:07:35 | |
'on the latest stage of her balloon trip. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:37 | |
'But so far, there's no sign of her. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:40 | |
'Miss Kennedy's support team are trying to make radio contact, | 0:07:40 | 0:07:42 | |
'but say that they aren't yet concerned for her safety.' | 0:07:42 | 0:07:45 | |
I bet she's gone off for an ice cream. | 0:07:47 | 0:07:50 | |
Maybe she just wants some time to herself. | 0:07:50 | 0:07:53 | |
-That girl did not spend a summer in Struay. -Why d'ye keep saying that? | 0:07:53 | 0:07:57 | |
Because it's true! If she'd spent a summer here, we'd remember. | 0:07:57 | 0:08:02 | |
I'm thinking she's not the one saying it at all. | 0:08:03 | 0:08:06 | |
I'm thinking someone is making it up! | 0:08:07 | 0:08:10 | |
Why would they do that? | 0:08:10 | 0:08:12 | |
Because it makes a good story for the papers. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:16 | |
I don't often say this, Neilly Beag, but I think you're absolutely right. | 0:08:16 | 0:08:21 | |
SEAGULLS SING | 0:08:25 | 0:08:27 | |
Hi! | 0:08:30 | 0:08:32 | |
Oh, my goodness! It's you, isn't it? | 0:08:32 | 0:08:35 | |
Last time I checked! | 0:08:35 | 0:08:37 | |
-(It's her!) It's Candice Kennedy! -Do you know each other? | 0:08:37 | 0:08:42 | |
It's Candice Kennedy? | 0:08:42 | 0:08:43 | |
World-famous Hollywood superstar, Candice Kennedy. | 0:08:44 | 0:08:49 | |
Oh. Right. | 0:08:49 | 0:08:51 | |
-I don't watch much telly. -I don't blame you. | 0:08:53 | 0:08:56 | |
Now, who wants some of this delicious elderberry fizz? | 0:08:58 | 0:09:02 | |
-Wow. -I'd love some! | 0:09:02 | 0:09:04 | |
-Do you remember that talent contest in Oban? -How could I forget it? | 0:09:11 | 0:09:16 | |
-Mmm. Thought I was going to be the next Madonna! -Madonna! | 0:09:16 | 0:09:21 | |
-You were better than Madonna. -Oh, I wasn't really! | 0:09:21 | 0:09:25 | |
Your voice is every bit as good! | 0:09:25 | 0:09:27 | |
And you were juggling with tennis balls at the same time! | 0:09:27 | 0:09:30 | |
-Has Madonna ever done that? -You know, I don't think she has. | 0:09:30 | 0:09:36 | |
Still didn't win, though. | 0:09:36 | 0:09:38 | |
-Well, maybe if you hadn't run off, halfway through the song. -Mmm. | 0:09:38 | 0:09:42 | |
-And the crying probably didn't help. -Ach. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:46 | |
But apart from that, you were great! | 0:09:46 | 0:09:49 | |
You've missed a bit. | 0:09:50 | 0:09:52 | |
'Candice had wanted some peace and quiet away from all the TV cameras. | 0:09:57 | 0:10:02 | |
'So, instead of passing over Struay, she decided to land here, instead. | 0:10:02 | 0:10:06 | |
'Luckily, Uncle Matthew didn't know who she was. | 0:10:07 | 0:10:11 | |
'So, instead of making a fuss, | 0:10:11 | 0:10:14 | |
'he made her the best vegetable curry she'd ever tasted.' | 0:10:14 | 0:10:17 | |
Do you like being famous? | 0:10:19 | 0:10:22 | |
Sometimes. Not all the time. | 0:10:22 | 0:10:26 | |
-What's good about it? -I get to do good work. | 0:10:26 | 0:10:31 | |
I get to do that at school. | 0:10:31 | 0:10:33 | |
I meet interesting people! | 0:10:33 | 0:10:35 | |
There's LOTS of interesting people here, in Struay. | 0:10:35 | 0:10:38 | |
Do you know, my real name isn't Candice Kennedy? | 0:10:40 | 0:10:44 | |
-It's Wilma Whitesellen. -I like that one better. | 0:10:45 | 0:10:50 | |
So do I! | 0:10:50 | 0:10:51 | |
Did you really spend a summer here in Struay? | 0:10:54 | 0:10:57 | |
Nah, it's just a story they made up for the papers. | 0:10:57 | 0:11:01 | |
But now I've seen it, I wish I had. | 0:11:01 | 0:11:04 | |
I don't think I want to be famous when I'm older. | 0:11:07 | 0:11:11 | |
What DO you want to be when you grow up? | 0:11:11 | 0:11:13 | |
Mmm, I think I'll just be me. | 0:11:14 | 0:11:16 | |
'Candice had to get going, | 0:11:25 | 0:11:27 | |
'but she said she's definitely come back to visit us again, | 0:11:27 | 0:11:29 | |
'and the next time, she'd stay a whole lot longer.' | 0:11:29 | 0:11:33 | |
We'd better run! | 0:11:33 | 0:11:35 | |
-Thanks for everything. -Don't mention it. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:42 | |
-You have a lovely family. -Aye. | 0:11:42 | 0:11:44 | |
-I don't see them enough. -Why not? | 0:11:48 | 0:11:51 | |
Well, the village here in Struay can get awful busy | 0:11:51 | 0:11:54 | |
and I'm really not that fond of crowds. | 0:11:54 | 0:11:56 | |
Where I live in Los Angeles can be busy, too. | 0:11:56 | 0:11:59 | |
Does that mean you won't be able to visit me? | 0:11:59 | 0:12:01 | |
Well, I could maybe start taking the odd walk down to the post office, | 0:12:03 | 0:12:07 | |
try and get used to being in among the hurly-burly! | 0:12:07 | 0:12:10 | |
I think that's a great idea. | 0:12:10 | 0:12:11 | |
Aye, me too. | 0:12:11 | 0:12:13 | |
Goodbye, Matthew. | 0:12:24 | 0:12:26 | |
I'll see you again. | 0:12:26 | 0:12:28 | |
-You'll never guess what happened! -Not now, Peter! | 0:12:46 | 0:12:48 | |
That's Candice Kennedy up there! | 0:12:48 | 0:12:50 | |
'The balloon passed low overhead, | 0:12:50 | 0:12:52 | |
'and if you listened hard, you could almost hear something.' | 0:12:52 | 0:12:56 | |
Hello, Isobel! | 0:12:56 | 0:12:58 | |
-Ha! Did you hear that? -Hear what? | 0:12:58 | 0:13:02 | |
I think she shouted my name! | 0:13:02 | 0:13:04 | |
-Hi, Neilly Beag! -I certainly heard that! | 0:13:04 | 0:13:07 | |
Och, she must have spent a summer in Struay right enough | 0:13:07 | 0:13:10 | |
if she can recognise me from that far up! | 0:13:10 | 0:13:13 | |
Bye, Peter! Bye, Katie Morag! | 0:13:13 | 0:13:17 | |
Bye, Wilma Whitesellen! | 0:13:17 | 0:13:19 | |
Who's "Wilma Whitesellen"? | 0:13:19 | 0:13:22 | |
It's a long story. | 0:13:22 | 0:13:23 | |
'Bye, Katie Morag!' | 0:13:25 | 0:13:27 | |
'I don't think I'll ever be famous. | 0:13:30 | 0:13:32 | |
'After all, I'm just Katie Morag McColl, | 0:13:32 | 0:13:35 | |
'from the tiny wee island of Struay. | 0:13:35 | 0:13:39 | |
'But I really wouldn't want it any other way.' | 0:13:39 | 0:13:42 |
