0:00:13 > 0:00:15# Katie Morag
0:00:15 > 0:00:17# Over the sea to Struay

0:00:19 > 0:00:22# Run away across the ocean
0:00:22 > 0:00:24# Katie Morag
0:00:24 > 0:00:26# Over the seat to Struay. #
0:00:31 > 0:00:35'My name is Katie Morag McColl and I live on the island of Struay.
0:00:35 > 0:00:39'I suppose it's quite wee, but it's ginormous to me,
0:00:39 > 0:00:41'and everyone looks out for me
0:00:41 > 0:00:44'when I'm out and about having my adventures.'
0:00:44 > 0:00:46# Katie Morag. #
0:00:46 > 0:00:50Whenever I ask Grannie Island why she doesn't have a television,
0:00:50 > 0:00:52she says it's cos she has a window.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56I don't see why she can't have both, but I know what she means.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58I love looking out my window.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Some things look different every day.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Like the colour of the sea and the clouds in the sky.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08Other things stay the same, like the hills across the bay
0:01:08 > 0:01:13and Grannie Island's croft, which always looks so warm and cosy.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16And even Mrs Baxter, who comes down every morning
0:01:16 > 0:01:19to see who's on the ferry and catch up with the gossip.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23I reckon I must be the luckiest girl in the whole world.
0:01:23 > 0:01:27There isn't a single thing about living here on Struay
0:01:27 > 0:01:29that I'd ever want to change.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36- Look what I did. - Oh, that's lovely, sweetheart!
0:01:36 > 0:01:38Och, the wee soul.
0:01:38 > 0:01:44It'll be something to remember us by when you're over in Glasgow.
0:01:44 > 0:01:45We're going to Glasgow?
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Oh, I'm so sorry.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54Was it meant to be a surprise? Och, never mind.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56How long will we be staying for?
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Cos I need to be back for Agnes' party.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01Er...
0:02:01 > 0:02:03I'll just leave you to it.
0:02:05 > 0:02:06(Sorry.)
0:02:10 > 0:02:12Come away through, Katie Morag.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16We'll have some breakfast and then we'll have a talk.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32Pancakes! And it isn't even my birthday.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36So, when are we going on holiday?
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Well, it's not exactly a holiday.
0:02:39 > 0:02:44- What is it, then?- You know how we pay rent for the house every month?
0:02:44 > 0:02:47Yeah, to that guy, Mr Oven Dish.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51Cavendish, that's right. Cos he's the one who owns it.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55Well, Mr Cavendish wants the house back. He needs it for himself.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59So, where are we going to live?
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Well, we're not sure yet.
0:03:02 > 0:03:07Well, Grannie Island has a bigger space.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10But Granma Mainland has a big TV.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14Oh! It's not just that. It's finding a job.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17We won't have the shop and post office, either.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19What are we going to do?
0:03:22 > 0:03:24We've decided to move to Glasgow.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29So, we won't be living on Struay any more?
0:03:29 > 0:03:32We'll come on holiday, visit the grannies.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43Katie Morag! Katie Morag!
0:03:43 > 0:03:46Let her go. She just needs a wee bit of time.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49We all do.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Shh.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58- It'll be all right, sweetheart. - I don't want to go away.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01Och, I know, a thasgaidh. I know.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05You'll come with us, won't you?
0:04:05 > 0:04:08- Well, I...- You've got to.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10There'll be no room for me.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14You can sleep on my bed. I'll sleep on the couch.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Who'd look after Alecina when I wasn't here?
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Who'd look after the lamb?
0:04:19 > 0:04:22But we'll talk every day, though.
0:04:22 > 0:04:26I'll get one of yon Skypie things like Granma Mainland has.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28You don't know how to use it.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32Well, I'll learn. It can't be all that difficult.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38Oh, no, Grannie. There must be something we can do.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42Och, I don't think so, sweetheart.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44I really don't think so.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54I'd never been so sad in my whole entire life.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01MUM SINGS IN GAELIC
0:05:43 > 0:05:47The flat in Glasgow is yours as long as you want it.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51- We couldn't possibly...- Don't be silly! I'm just sorry it's so small.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53FOOTSTEPS ON STAIRS
0:05:53 > 0:05:54Oh...
0:05:55 > 0:05:57She's asleep.
0:05:58 > 0:06:02Why now? He's had this place for ages
0:06:02 > 0:06:05and he's never shown the slightest interest.
0:06:05 > 0:06:06Not like his father, eh?
0:06:06 > 0:06:10The old man had his faults, but that wasn't one of them.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13It isn't Cavendish, so much as his wife.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17- Fallen in love with the place. - She's never even been here.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20She's seen photographs. Something about the light.
0:06:20 > 0:06:24So, they don't have light in Edinburgh?
0:06:24 > 0:06:28She's apparently very creative. Reckons the place will inspire her.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31Well, I'm sure it will. For a while, anyway.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35Then winter will set in. I wonder how inspired she'll feel then.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37And what about him?
0:06:37 > 0:06:41- Has he not got a job to go to? - It's all computers nowadays.
0:06:41 > 0:06:45- Can do it from the top of Mount Everest.- His mind's made up.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47The lease runs out in six weeks.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51He won't be renewing it. Not without a miracle.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11Staring at the ceiling, eh?
0:07:11 > 0:07:14I've done a fair bit of that myself the past wee while.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18- I was thinking.- What about?
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Neilly Beag's hat.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22What about it?
0:07:22 > 0:07:24He had the same one for years and years.
0:07:24 > 0:07:29It was full of holes and Granma Mainland really hated it.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31But he really liked it.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36And nobody thought he would ever get a new one.
0:07:37 > 0:07:38And he did.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44And I was wondering why he changed his mind.
0:07:46 > 0:07:51- I think Granma asked him to. - She just asked?
0:07:51 > 0:07:53She probably asked really nicely
0:07:53 > 0:07:55and explained why it was important to her.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57But, yeah, she just asked.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01Any particular reason you're thinking about Neilly Beag's hat?
0:08:01 > 0:08:04I think about lots of stuff.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10Night-night, darling.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Night, Dad.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17All she did was ask nicely
0:08:17 > 0:08:20and explain why it was important to her.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Maybe miracles weren't so difficult, after all.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30Next morning, I woke up bright and early and got straight to work.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33"Dear Mr and Mrs Cavendish.
0:08:33 > 0:08:38"My name is Katie Morag McColl and I live in the post office on Struay.
0:08:38 > 0:08:43"I'm writing a letter to explain why living here is so important to me.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48"I've lived on Struay my whole entire life.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51"And though I like visiting other places,
0:08:51 > 0:08:55"I wouldn't want to stay there and never come home.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57"One of my favourite things here
0:08:57 > 0:09:01"is collecting firewood on the beach with my grannie.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05"She tells me all about the funny wee sea creatures,
0:09:05 > 0:09:08"like starfish and barnacles.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11"The one thing we don't do much of is collect firewood.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14"But she never seems to mind.
0:09:14 > 0:09:18"It's not just Grannie Island.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22"Everyone on Struay is friendly. We're like a big, happy family.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26"When my sister Flora was born, everyone came by to see her
0:09:26 > 0:09:29"and they all said how beautiful she looked.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31"Which was really nice of them,
0:09:31 > 0:09:34"cos she actually looked a wee bit odd,
0:09:34 > 0:09:38"though I think that's the same with all newborn babies.
0:09:39 > 0:09:45"Every day's special here on Struay, but Friday's my absolute favourite.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47"That's when the most folk do their baking
0:09:47 > 0:09:52"and I can smell the yummy things they've made from my window.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54"I'd need to write a hundred letters
0:09:54 > 0:09:58"to tell you all about the wonderful things here on Struay.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02"Like Neilly Beag and his wee boat, which he sometimes lets me row.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06"Though never when it's actually in the water.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09"And Granma Mainland, who had a secret kiss with Neilly Beag
0:10:09 > 0:10:12"then married him out on the beach,
0:10:12 > 0:10:15"even though they're both about a hundred!
0:10:15 > 0:10:17"Afterwards, we had a ceilidh in the hall
0:10:17 > 0:10:22"and people said it was the best party they'd ever been to.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26"I think the city's very nice and I like going there on holiday.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29"But there aren't any beaches or rock pools.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32"And I wouldn't get to row Neilly Beag's boat.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35"So, please, please don't make us leave.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37"It would be very ever so kind of you,
0:10:37 > 0:10:41"and you would be my very best friends for ever."
0:10:59 > 0:11:03I was really pleased with my letter and I was sure it was going to work.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07All I had to do now was wait.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09And I hate waiting.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12Anything for me?
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Er...
0:11:14 > 0:11:18- Have you taken up weightlifting?- No.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21Did you order a carton of McAllister's Sheep Shampoo?
0:11:21 > 0:11:24- No.- 'Fraid not, then.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27- DOOR OPENS - Morning.- Good morning, Mrs Baxter.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30- Have you heard the news?- What news?
0:11:30 > 0:11:33- The Cavendishes are coming tomorrow.- What for?
0:11:33 > 0:11:37Well, someone wrote a letter telling them how wonderful it is here.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40Got Mrs Cavendish even more excited.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42She wants things ready,
0:11:42 > 0:11:45so they can move in the minute you flit to Glasgow.
0:11:45 > 0:11:49Someone wrote a letter to her? Oh, whoever would do a thi...?
0:12:08 > 0:12:10It's all my fault.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12It most certainly is not.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16I thought I could make a miracle.
0:12:16 > 0:12:21Ah, well, you see, miracles aren't all that easy.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26That's why they're called miracles, instead of...
0:12:26 > 0:12:28well, instead of something else.
0:12:29 > 0:12:33At least you tried. That's what matters.
0:12:33 > 0:12:37What's that thing Grannie Island always says?
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Babies are more trouble than billy goats.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42The other thing.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46It's not how often you fall that matters,
0:12:46 > 0:12:48but how often you pick yourself up.
0:12:48 > 0:12:53So, you just keep picking yourself up, Katie Morag,
0:12:53 > 0:12:55no matter how often you fall.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58Because that's what matters.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00And because that's the kind of girl you are.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05I'd best go in and finish off the mail.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07You come in when you're ready.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20It wasn't how often I fell that mattered.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23It was how often I picked myself up.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25I suppose she meant I should keep on trying.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28I should think of another brilliant idea.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30But for the first time ever,
0:13:30 > 0:13:34I began to think my brilliant ideas might be all used up.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38SHIP'S HORN BLARES
0:13:43 > 0:13:46Mr and Mrs Cavendish will be here any minute.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53- You should at least say hello. - Don't want to.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55MUM SIGHS
0:13:57 > 0:14:00To be perfectly honest, neither do I.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02That's why your dad's gone.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05But just because we don't like what they're doing
0:14:05 > 0:14:07doesn't mean we can rude.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09SHIP'S HORN BLARES
0:14:09 > 0:14:10Right, that's them.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15Come on, Katie Morag.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20Dad really loved this place.
0:14:20 > 0:14:24Well, no wonder. It's even more adorable than I imagined.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26And that sweet old couple on the ferry.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29- Were they speaking Gaelic? - They were, indeed.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32Oh! I have to learn it. Do you think I should learn it?
0:14:32 > 0:14:36- It isn't easy.- I need to understand the poetry of this place.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39- How can I if I don't speak the language?- Hello.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41- Hello.- Hi.- Welcome to Struay.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45- BOTH: Thank you. - I hope you're hungry.- Um...
0:14:51 > 0:14:52OK.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Oh...
0:15:00 > 0:15:03- (Hi.)- I wasn't sure how you like your scones.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06So, I made both types, just in case.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08- You were expecting us?- Aye.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12- But we didn't... - Small place. News travels fast.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Part of the charm.
0:15:16 > 0:15:17And speaking of charm,
0:15:17 > 0:15:21will you look at the light coming in through that window.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23Oh, it's got so much potential.
0:15:23 > 0:15:27I think we should knock that wall down, open up the space.
0:15:27 > 0:15:31Maybe I could hang my Italian watercolours along the back.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33Right, lovely. Er...
0:15:33 > 0:15:35It's going to be a gallery.
0:15:35 > 0:15:39My stuff, mostly, but we'll invite a few guest artists.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41But what about the post office?
0:15:41 > 0:15:44Everybody uses e-mail these days.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47And, anyway, the island needs a gallery.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51- It needs a shop.- I'm sure we'll sell little souvenirs and knick-knacks.
0:15:51 > 0:15:55You can buy all your little essentials online. That's what I do.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01- Where's little Katie?- Katie Morag. - I can't wait to meet her.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04I've got this image in my head of this darling little girl
0:16:04 > 0:16:07scampering barefoot over the hills.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10- She'd be in her wellies. - Wellies? How perfect.
0:16:10 > 0:16:14- There she is there.- Oh, Katie.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17Oh, you're just how I pictured you.
0:16:17 > 0:16:21- Um, pleased to meet you. - And we're so pleased to meet you.
0:16:23 > 0:16:24Here, I...
0:16:24 > 0:16:26- No.- What?
0:16:26 > 0:16:30Well, Terry and Peter have a lot of chatting to do
0:16:30 > 0:16:34and I was going to hire somebody to show me round the island.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36But if Katie's available...
0:16:36 > 0:16:39then perhaps you could take me.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41- What?!- Katie Morag!
0:16:42 > 0:16:46Sorry. I mean, I can't. I have to tidy my room.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48- It's an absolute midden. - Oh, that's a pity.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54Couldn't Mummy let you off just this once?
0:16:54 > 0:16:57- I suppose I... - DOOR OPENS
0:16:57 > 0:16:59So...
0:17:00 > 0:17:02What's going on here?
0:17:02 > 0:17:05Mrs Cavendish wants me to show her round the island.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07Oh, dear.
0:17:07 > 0:17:12Well, that's a pity. I was actually hoping to borrow you myself.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16I'm needing help with something very important.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Oh, well...
0:17:28 > 0:17:32There wasn't really something important, was there?
0:17:32 > 0:17:36So, she wanted you to show her round the island?
0:17:36 > 0:17:39Why would I want to help her?
0:17:39 > 0:17:45Och, she's probably that used to all this fussing round her.
0:17:45 > 0:17:50Still, that's no excuse for forgetting our manners.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54I know, but...I wish I hadn't sent her that letter.
0:17:54 > 0:17:58If I hadn't said how nice it was then maybe she wouldn't have...
0:17:58 > 0:18:00What is it?
0:18:00 > 0:18:04- I thought I'd lost my knack for having good ideas.- And?
0:18:04 > 0:18:07- I think I've got the knack back. - Oh, right!
0:18:10 > 0:18:12Right.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15Are you sure about this?
0:18:15 > 0:18:18If Mrs Cavendish is going to live here,
0:18:18 > 0:18:20she ought to know all the best parts.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24And I reckon I know the best parts better than anyone.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28Now, let me just grab something warmer.
0:18:30 > 0:18:31Uh...
0:18:41 > 0:18:43Where do you want to go first?
0:18:43 > 0:18:45Oh, well, I'm entirely in your hands.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48What about the Seabird Cliffs, then?
0:18:48 > 0:18:50Seabird cliffs, it is, then.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52I might just pop back and get my jacket, though.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54It's a wee bit chilly.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58Chilly? I'm boiling. Can't remember the last time it was so warm.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09So, uh...
0:19:09 > 0:19:12You'll be needing the full six weeks, then, will you?
0:19:12 > 0:19:17- How do you mean?- Well, Miriam's keen to move in as quickly as possible.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Oh, I, er...
0:19:21 > 0:19:24Oh. You know, forget it.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27I'm sorry I asked.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33About the shop... Is there really no way you could keep it going?
0:19:33 > 0:19:37Maybe just a wee space in the corner of the gallery?
0:19:37 > 0:19:40Miriam's got a lot of paintings.
0:19:40 > 0:19:45Paintings! Oh, I love paintings. What are you talking about?
0:19:46 > 0:19:49Struay's going to have its very own art gallery.
0:19:49 > 0:19:53Oh, that's wonderful. And this art gallery's going to be...?
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Right here.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59Oh, how convenient!
0:19:59 > 0:20:01Then I'll be able to enjoy the paintings
0:20:01 > 0:20:04- while I'm doing my shopping. - No, uh...
0:20:06 > 0:20:08The shop will be closing.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10And the post office.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Then we'll have no shop.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18Or post office.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22Well, I suppose that's the price we pay for art.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24Uh...
0:20:24 > 0:20:26Do you think there might be a chance
0:20:26 > 0:20:29that you haven't thought this through enough?
0:20:29 > 0:20:31I have.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34Myself and Mrs Cavendish.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36We've made our minds up.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44- Is there far to go?- A wee bit.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46- Do you fancy a breather?- Oh, yes!
0:20:47 > 0:20:51- There. Next to the pretty wee loch.- Oh.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55- Beautiful, isn't it?- Mm, I suppose.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59- Oh!- What's wrong?
0:20:59 > 0:21:01Oh, it's the blasted midges.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04Och, they're just being friendly.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06Don't they bother you?
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Gets a wee bit lonely here on Struay.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10They keep me company.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12Oh... Ohh!
0:21:12 > 0:21:13Oh, no!
0:21:13 > 0:21:15Ah! Uh!
0:21:15 > 0:21:17Uhh! I've rested enough, thank you.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20- Sure?- I'm sure.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22Uh... Right.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25Look!
0:21:29 > 0:21:32- Oh! Gooseberries.- That's right.
0:21:34 > 0:21:39Now, some berries are poisonous, so you've got to be really careful.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42My grannie's an expert. She taught me the safe ones.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44Aren't they sour?
0:21:44 > 0:21:45Hmm.
0:21:45 > 0:21:50Well, some folk add sugar, but we're always running out.
0:21:50 > 0:21:54- You can't just nip to the supermarket to get more.- I suppose.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57Anyway, they're delicious as they are. Try one.
0:21:59 > 0:22:00OK.
0:22:02 > 0:22:03OK...
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Eurgh! No!
0:22:13 > 0:22:17- They take a bit of getting used to.- Mm-hm.
0:22:19 > 0:22:20Eurgh.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25GULLS CRY
0:22:27 > 0:22:32- Here we are - the Seabird Cliffs. - Oh! Well, this is lovely.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38If you clap your hands, they all fly round.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40It's quite a sight.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43Oh, all right, then.
0:22:51 > 0:22:52Ah!
0:22:52 > 0:22:53Uh! Uh! Uhh!
0:22:53 > 0:22:57Sorry! Forgot to tell you about that.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59Eurgh.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08- Are you sure this is a short cut? - I always come this way.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10Oh!
0:23:10 > 0:23:12Oh! Stuck!
0:23:12 > 0:23:14- Help me.- Are you OK?
0:23:17 > 0:23:18SPLASHING
0:23:18 > 0:23:22- TEARFULLY: - Of course I'm not all right.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26My shoe. I've lost my shoe. I've lost my shoe.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29They cost me £300.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31At least you've still got the other one.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34Just wait till I tell your mother.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36You don't think I know what you're doing?
0:23:36 > 0:23:39I know what you're up to. It's not going to work.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41I am moving here
0:23:41 > 0:23:45and there's nothing that you or anybody else can do to stop me.
0:23:45 > 0:23:49I didn't mean her to lose her shoe, or to get so muddy.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53I was beginning to wonder if this had all been another bad idea.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57- DOOR OPENS - That's them now.
0:23:59 > 0:24:04- Mrs McColl, I'm afraid to say... - I know all about it.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08Oh! Taking our guest to the Seabird Cliffs
0:24:08 > 0:24:11and...and playing that awful trick on her.
0:24:11 > 0:24:16Oh, I've never been so embarrassed in my entire life.
0:24:16 > 0:24:20And it will cost a pretty penny to have her blouse cleaned.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22It'll be coming out of your pocket money.
0:24:22 > 0:24:26But how on Earth could you know? It's only just happened.
0:24:26 > 0:24:30Mrs Bayview passes that way on her morning constitutional.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32She saw the whole thing.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34There you are!
0:24:34 > 0:24:36What are you doing?
0:24:36 > 0:24:39Don't worry. I used to be a nurse.
0:24:39 > 0:24:43- Oh, dear. I think you must be allergic.- Oh.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47Ohh! Blessed midges.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51The Lady Artist was up there painting today.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55She said that the wee blighters were even fiercer than usual.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57There we are. Good as new.
0:24:57 > 0:25:01- But how...?- Mr McMaster came by with it half an hour ago.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04The bog's at the back of his farm.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07- Darling!- Right. - What happened? Are you all right?
0:25:07 > 0:25:12No, I'm not all right. I'm anything but all right.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14And would you please stop touching me?!
0:25:16 > 0:25:18Terry...
0:25:18 > 0:25:20We're leaving.
0:25:20 > 0:25:21- But...- Now, Terry.
0:25:37 > 0:25:41- The ferry's not due for two hours. - I am never coming back here.
0:25:41 > 0:25:45- Wild horses couldn't drag me back. - What about the bags?
0:25:45 > 0:25:46We'll buy new bags.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52She said what?!
0:25:52 > 0:25:54We were spying on her.
0:25:54 > 0:25:55Och, rubbish!
0:25:55 > 0:25:58Said we sneak around, poking our noses
0:25:58 > 0:26:02into other people's business and then gossip about it.
0:26:02 > 0:26:06- Unbelievable. - Did she say anything else?
0:26:06 > 0:26:08Well, that's when she noticed me.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11But there was one more thing.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15She said it was like living in a goldfish bowl
0:26:15 > 0:26:20and she wouldn't move here if it was the last place on Earth.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23- What?- That's right.
0:26:23 > 0:26:28And do you know, I think she wanted me to hear that last bit.
0:26:30 > 0:26:35- Does that mean we're staying? - That's exactly what it means.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38Yay!
0:26:38 > 0:26:40Katie Morag!
0:26:40 > 0:26:43Other people's business? Hm!
0:26:43 > 0:26:46Has she never heard of being a good neighbour?
0:26:46 > 0:26:48We're staying.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50We're staying!
0:26:52 > 0:26:54We don't have to leave.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57Mrs Cavendish says she doesn't like us!
0:26:57 > 0:27:00We're staying! We're staying!
0:27:02 > 0:27:04We're staying!
0:27:06 > 0:27:08Alecina, we're staying!
0:27:08 > 0:27:09SHEEP BLEAT
0:27:09 > 0:27:13Guess what, little ducklings. We're staying!
0:27:18 > 0:27:19We're staying!
0:27:21 > 0:27:22DOOR OPENS
0:27:22 > 0:27:25- Have you heard?- Heard what?
0:27:25 > 0:27:27How horrible we are?
0:27:27 > 0:27:30- How horrible who is? - Everyone on Struay.
0:27:30 > 0:27:34We're nosy, we gossip and we don't know how to mind our own business.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36- Says who?- Mrs Cavendish.
0:27:36 > 0:27:40- If that's how she feels, why is she moving here?- Moving here?
0:27:40 > 0:27:44She wouldn't move here if it was the last place on earth.
0:27:44 > 0:27:45You mean...?
0:27:47 > 0:27:50Oh, Katie Morag!
0:27:51 > 0:27:53Oh!
0:27:54 > 0:27:56Hooray!
0:27:56 > 0:27:58Yes!
0:28:05 > 0:28:08I've had some really peculiar days,
0:28:08 > 0:28:11but I reckon this one was the most peculiarist.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18At the start, I was so miserable.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21And by the end, I'd never been happier.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28And then I got to thinking how strange people are.
0:28:28 > 0:28:32I'd shown Mrs Cavendish all the worst things about the island,
0:28:32 > 0:28:34but she still wanted to move here.
0:28:34 > 0:28:38Then she saw the best things - how people look out for each other
0:28:38 > 0:28:41and always try to help, no matter who they are.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44I suppose it's like Grannie Island says.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46It takes all types to make the world.
0:28:46 > 0:28:50I'm just glad Mrs Cavendish is the type who doesn't like Struay
0:28:50 > 0:28:53and I'm the type that absolutely loves it.
