0:00:01 > 0:00:05- We're Wil and Aeron, - farmers from the Dyfi Valley.

0:00:06 > 0:00:09- From the Andean peaks - to Scandinavian glaciers...

0:00:09 > 0:00:13- ..we've experienced rural life - all over the world.

0:00:14 > 0:00:19- In this series, - our travels take us to Scotland.

0:00:19 > 0:00:21- Welcome to Scotland. We made it.

0:00:22 > 0:00:25- We're realizing a childhood dream.

0:00:25 > 0:00:28- We're on a road trip...

0:00:28 > 0:00:31- ..in a camper van - rescued from a scrapyard.

0:00:31 > 0:00:35- We're hoping that it will survive - a trip of over 1,500 miles.

0:00:38 > 0:00:40- We're normally best friends.

0:00:41 > 0:00:41- I'm in the wrong blooming lane.

0:00:41 > 0:00:43- I'm in the wrong blooming lane.- - Just go round.

0:00:44 > 0:00:47- A month in each other's pockets - is asking for trouble.

0:00:48 > 0:00:49- National Park, Highlands!

0:00:50 > 0:00:53- We'll have new experiences...

0:00:53 > 0:00:55- ..and challenge each other.

0:00:56 > 0:00:58- We'll see the traditional...

0:00:59 > 0:01:01- ..and modern influences.

0:01:01 > 0:01:02- It's nice.

0:01:03 > 0:01:06- Beyond the cities, - Irn-Bru and haggis...

0:01:07 > 0:01:12- ..we'll see huge estates, - mountains and distant islands.

0:01:13 > 0:01:15- I can't get my head round - the scale of it.

0:01:16 > 0:01:20- We seek the difference - between two ways of life.

0:01:22 > 0:01:26- We end our journey - with the crofters of Uist.

0:01:26 > 0:01:28- It's perfect!

0:01:29 > 0:01:32- At work and at play, - we hear the island's story...

0:01:32 > 0:01:36- ..the romance - and a vanishing way of life.

0:01:36 > 0:01:39- On Uist, the old know - and the young suppose.

0:01:39 > 0:01:42- But is that good or bad?

0:01:57 > 0:02:01- The island of North Uist - is home to 3,000 people.

0:02:04 > 0:02:06- Its peat bogs and moors...

0:02:06 > 0:02:10- ..are open to the wildest elements - of Scotland's west coast.

0:02:11 > 0:02:13- There are some nice pockets.

0:02:15 > 0:02:20- Crofts have dotted the tough terrain - since time immemorial.

0:02:20 > 0:02:24- I'd take a lot of persuading - before I came here to live.

0:02:24 > 0:02:28- If someone gave me a choice - between life in a city or here...

0:02:29 > 0:02:32- ..I'd choose this place every time.

0:02:32 > 0:02:35- At least there's scope - to do something here.

0:02:35 > 0:02:37- I'm sure that, as a farmer...

0:02:38 > 0:02:41- ..you could improve - on a lot of aspects.

0:02:42 > 0:02:43- Could you?

0:02:45 > 0:02:46- Yes.

0:02:50 > 0:02:55- Driving along the narrow roads, - past the ancient crofts...

0:02:55 > 0:02:58- ..is like travelling back in time.

0:02:58 > 0:03:00- It's a fine morning, Wil.

0:03:00 > 0:03:01- It's a fine morning, Wil.- - Wonderful.

0:03:01 > 0:03:03- I'm looking forward to today.

0:03:05 > 0:03:08- We're spending three days - with a family...

0:03:08 > 0:03:12- ..that has lived on this croft - for over a century.

0:03:12 > 0:03:15- Three generations live there today.

0:03:15 > 0:03:19- When you say croft, - is it like a smallholding?

0:03:19 > 0:03:23- From what I understand, you buy - the rights to a piece of land.

0:03:24 > 0:03:27- Nothing to do with the house, - just the land.

0:03:27 > 0:03:28- You don't own anything?

0:03:28 > 0:03:29- You don't own anything?- - No.

0:03:30 > 0:03:35- But if you've bought the rights, - you can pass them on.

0:03:35 > 0:03:37- They're in your family.

0:03:37 > 0:03:41- You can pass them to your children, - and your children's children.

0:03:45 > 0:03:46- Here they are.

0:03:47 > 0:03:48- Hello!

0:03:48 > 0:03:50- Hello!- - You're here.

0:03:50 > 0:03:51- Good morning.

0:03:52 > 0:03:53- How are you? I'm Wil.

0:03:53 > 0:03:54- How are you? I'm Wil.- - I'm Michelle.

0:03:54 > 0:03:55- Nice to meet you, Michelle.

0:03:55 > 0:03:56- Nice to meet you, Michelle.- - Hiya. I'm Aeron.

0:03:56 > 0:03:57- Aaron?

0:03:57 > 0:03:58- Aaron?- - Close enough!

0:03:59 > 0:04:03- This is the Macdonald family, - and no, we're not making it up.

0:04:04 > 0:04:05- This is Wil.

0:04:05 > 0:04:06- This is Wil.- - Hiya. Nice to meet you.

0:04:07 > 0:04:12- Angus, the son, works the croft, - but his mother, Ena, is the boss!

0:04:12 > 0:04:15- She has lived on this land - all her life.

0:04:15 > 0:04:19- After travelling so far - around Scotland...

0:04:19 > 0:04:23- ..we finally hear Scots Gaelic - for the first time.

0:04:23 > 0:04:24- Another thing is going to the bog.

0:04:24 > 0:04:26- Another thing is going to the bog.- - Yes, to dig for peat.

0:04:26 > 0:04:28- They would do good work.

0:04:28 > 0:04:33- Two young men, two able young men. - They have to earn their keep.

0:04:33 > 0:04:35- They have to earn their keep.

0:04:36 > 0:04:38- I couldn't agree more!

0:04:39 > 0:04:44- Welsh-born Ruth is a neighbour - and a close family friend.

0:04:44 > 0:04:49- She moved here from Snowdonia after - falling for Uist while on holiday.

0:04:49 > 0:04:51- You speak Gaelic too?

0:04:51 > 0:04:52- You speak Gaelic too?- - Yes.

0:04:52 > 0:04:53- SHE SPEAKS GAELIC

0:04:53 > 0:04:54- Oh.

0:04:55 > 0:04:57- You're a dangerous woman.

0:04:57 > 0:04:59- You understand everyone!

0:05:02 > 0:05:03- We face a busy time.

0:05:04 > 0:05:08- Angus explains what we'll be doing - over the next few days.

0:05:09 > 0:05:11- You can go to South Uist.

0:05:12 > 0:05:15- It's thirty-odd mile away - where you're going...

0:05:15 > 0:05:17- ..to see - the old traditional ricks...

0:05:18 > 0:05:22- ..where everybody used to cut corn - with the binder prior to...

0:05:22 > 0:05:24- MOBILE PHONE

0:05:24 > 0:05:26- Here we go again! A busy man!

0:05:26 > 0:05:30- The first impression is that Angus - is a jack of all trades.

0:05:31 > 0:05:33- He's got a finger in several pies.

0:05:34 > 0:05:38- He farms, he fishes, he sells, - he's a builder, he does everything.

0:05:38 > 0:05:40- He judges cattle too.

0:05:40 > 0:05:45- His wife knows her stuff as well, - about everything.

0:05:45 > 0:05:49- The grandmother is prominent too, - and not short of an opinion.

0:05:49 > 0:05:54- Ruth, the neighbour, - helps out often too, I'd say.

0:05:55 > 0:05:57- So, we'll see - what they have to offer.

0:06:02 > 0:06:06- Our first task takes us - to South Uist, a few miles away.

0:06:07 > 0:06:10- There's corn to gather, - and no baler in sight!

0:06:11 > 0:06:13- What's going on here?

0:06:13 > 0:06:14- How are you then, boys?

0:06:16 > 0:06:18- You'll have to show us - how it's done.

0:06:18 > 0:06:20- We haven't done this.

0:06:21 > 0:06:25- I've always been interested - in the old way of doing things.

0:06:25 > 0:06:30- My grandfather spoke about sheaves, - but I haven't had the chance before.

0:06:30 > 0:06:34- If it means coming all the way here - to learn, then here I am.

0:06:34 > 0:06:36- I'm enjoying it.

0:06:36 > 0:06:41- It's the type of work - that suits the pace of the island.

0:06:41 > 0:06:45- They've got a bit more time - on their hands, maybe...

0:06:45 > 0:06:48- ..even though - they have enough to do.

0:06:48 > 0:06:50- But it just fits in...

0:06:50 > 0:06:53- ..with the pace - of island life, somehow.

0:06:53 > 0:06:58- At home, it would take too long - to do a whole field like this.

0:06:59 > 0:07:00- It wouldn't be...

0:07:00 > 0:07:01- ..how can I put it...

0:07:02 > 0:07:04- ..it wouldn't make financial sense.

0:07:05 > 0:07:08- They have to take it - round to their side.

0:07:09 > 0:07:13- Carry it round. - Hold it around the middle.

0:07:14 > 0:07:17- It's nice to hear them - speaking Gaelic among themselves.

0:07:18 > 0:07:21- The language isn't heard here - as often as it was.

0:07:22 > 0:07:26- But for these boys, - Gaelic is their mother tongue.

0:07:27 > 0:07:30- You take heart from hearing it.

0:07:33 > 0:07:35- What's the Gaelic for string?

0:07:35 > 0:07:36- What's the Gaelic for string?- - String.

0:07:36 > 0:07:37- String.

0:07:40 > 0:07:44- I learnt one thing - from those two blokes.

0:07:44 > 0:07:48- They don't do things - because of the money.

0:07:48 > 0:07:51- They do them - because they enjoy doing them.

0:07:51 > 0:07:53- That's a lesson for us all.

0:07:53 > 0:07:54- Yes.

0:07:55 > 0:07:59- I feel that a lot of people, - the way farming has gone...

0:07:59 > 0:08:01- ..farm for farming's sake.

0:08:01 > 0:08:04- The enjoyment has almost vanished.

0:08:04 > 0:08:06- It's like a machine.

0:08:06 > 0:08:10- You don't get a chance to switch off - and grease things between jobs.

0:08:11 > 0:08:12- To enjoy the way of life.

0:08:12 > 0:08:14- At home, you clip the sheep.

0:08:14 > 0:08:17- Once that's done, it's shearing.

0:08:17 > 0:08:20- Once that's done, - you sort the sheep for the rams.

0:08:20 > 0:08:21- It's never-ending.

0:08:21 > 0:08:23- They get a chance to chat here.

0:08:23 > 0:08:24- They get a chance to chat here.- - You're right.

0:08:32 > 0:08:34- This afternoon, - Ruth has a job for us.

0:08:35 > 0:08:37- Although there is - mains electricity...

0:08:38 > 0:08:41- ..the islanders still use peat - to heat their crofts.

0:08:42 > 0:08:45- Who will get this peat?

0:08:45 > 0:08:47- This part is for Angus himself.

0:08:47 > 0:08:48- This part is for Angus himself.- - All for Angus.

0:08:48 > 0:08:52- But some people - will go and ask him for some.

0:08:53 > 0:08:54- He does sell it as well.

0:08:55 > 0:08:56- Do they have to pay for it?

0:08:57 > 0:09:01- They pay Angus for the right - to cut it, then it's theirs.

0:09:01 > 0:09:06- It's up to them to turn it over, - gather it into heaps...

0:09:06 > 0:09:08- ..and carry it to the road.

0:09:08 > 0:09:12- You'll see that some - keep it in fertilizer bags.

0:09:13 > 0:09:17- What used to happen years ago, - before these heaps...

0:09:17 > 0:09:22- ..people came with trailers, - gangs of them, children and all.

0:09:22 > 0:09:24- Everyone pitched in together.

0:09:24 > 0:09:26- It was a communal thing to do.

0:09:28 > 0:09:33- It's odd to think that Ruth, - who isn't the youngest lady...

0:09:33 > 0:09:36- ..has moved to a place - where life is quite hard...

0:09:37 > 0:09:40- ..and one of her hobbies - is stacking peat.

0:09:42 > 0:09:44- Yes, fine.

0:09:46 > 0:09:48- I don't know.

0:09:48 > 0:09:50- I quite enjoyed - the first three piles.

0:09:53 > 0:09:55- I've got a question for you.

0:09:55 > 0:09:59- How would you describe - life on this island in one word?

0:10:00 > 0:10:01- Community.

0:10:01 > 0:10:03- Community.

0:10:03 > 0:10:08- Everyone knows each other - and it's an honest place.

0:10:09 > 0:10:11- You can't get better than that.

0:10:19 > 0:10:22- Angus and Michelle's youngest son - is Alexander.

0:10:23 > 0:10:25- He'll be the next generation - on the croft.

0:10:26 > 0:10:27- You've done this before!

0:10:27 > 0:10:29- You've done this before!- - Yes, I've done it loads of times.

0:10:29 > 0:10:30- Do you enjoy it?

0:10:30 > 0:10:31- Do you enjoy it?- - Yes.

0:10:31 > 0:10:33- What fish is this?

0:10:33 > 0:10:34- What fish is this?- - A grey mullet.

0:10:36 > 0:10:38- As in rural Wales...

0:10:38 > 0:10:42- ..a lot of young people leave - to find work in the city.

0:10:42 > 0:10:45- As a result, - young families are scarce here.

0:10:45 > 0:10:49- What's it like growing up - as a young fellow by the sea?

0:10:50 > 0:10:51- Um...

0:10:52 > 0:10:53- ..it's..

0:10:55 > 0:10:56- It's OK, but...

0:10:58 > 0:11:02- ..it's not really a big spot, - so there's not a lot of people here.

0:11:02 > 0:11:04- It's a bit hard to make friends...

0:11:05 > 0:11:06- Right.

0:11:06 > 0:11:07- ..to be honest.

0:11:07 > 0:11:10- What are you going to be - when you leave school?

0:11:11 > 0:11:14- I'll probably work - for my dad at first.

0:11:15 > 0:11:17- Yes. Do you like the farming life?

0:11:17 > 0:11:18- Yes. Do you like the farming life?- - Yes.

0:11:19 > 0:11:20- Your dad's a busy man.

0:11:20 > 0:11:21- Yes.

0:11:22 > 0:11:26- Do you think - you'll follow in his footsteps...

0:11:26 > 0:11:29- ..and become - a bit of a businessman?

0:11:29 > 0:11:30- Maybe.

0:11:31 > 0:11:33- Food time.

0:11:33 > 0:11:37- Do you speak Gaelic to your father?

0:11:37 > 0:11:38- No.

0:11:38 > 0:11:39- No.- - Why not?

0:11:39 > 0:11:41- Because I don't like speaking it.

0:11:42 > 0:11:45- A feast awaits us - in the peat-filled Aga.

0:11:45 > 0:11:48- I think we've earned our keep today.

0:11:49 > 0:11:51- An early night beckons.

0:11:52 > 0:11:57- Tomorrow is the most important day - of the year for the Macdonald croft.

0:12:13 > 0:12:15- It's our last day, Wil.

0:12:15 > 0:12:17- I haven't washed for a while.

0:12:18 > 0:12:20- I'm off to have a wash in the sea.

0:12:20 > 0:12:25- It looks really cold, but I promised - that I'd go for a swim.

0:12:25 > 0:12:28- The traditional way of bathing.

0:12:28 > 0:12:29- Come on!

0:12:29 > 0:12:32- It's enough - to turn your stomach first thing!

0:12:49 > 0:12:52- I've never seen anything - shift that fast!

0:12:53 > 0:12:54- Right then...

0:13:08 > 0:13:09- That's enough playing!

0:13:10 > 0:13:13- Angus has a lot on his plate, - and he needs help.

0:13:17 > 0:13:18- Since coming here...

0:13:18 > 0:13:22- ..we've seen that crofters - are part of Uist's identity...

0:13:22 > 0:13:24- ..and unique - to the Scottish islands.

0:13:25 > 0:13:27- But Angus has had to diversify.

0:13:28 > 0:13:32- As well as crofting, - his businesses include building...

0:13:32 > 0:13:36- ..fishing, contracting - and gathering peat.

0:13:37 > 0:13:40- Making a living from a small farm - isn't easy these days.

0:13:41 > 0:13:45- Without his other businesses, - Angus couldn't afford to croft.

0:13:48 > 0:13:50- Do you want to stay for a year?!

0:13:50 > 0:13:51- How much are you paying?

0:13:52 > 0:13:54- There's no pay. I'll get you food!

0:13:55 > 0:13:56- We'll live on geese.

0:13:56 > 0:13:58- We'll live on geese.- - We don't pay anybody round here.

0:13:59 > 0:14:01- I didn't know that - before coming over.

0:14:02 > 0:14:04- This grain is called bere.

0:14:04 > 0:14:09- It's the only crop that can survive - the island's tough conditions.

0:14:09 > 0:14:12- As such, it's crucial - for crofters like Angus.

0:14:12 > 0:14:15- You obviously - have a few irons in the fire.

0:14:16 > 0:14:17- Yes, aye.

0:14:17 > 0:14:18- You started off just crofting?

0:14:18 > 0:14:19- You started off just crofting?- - Yes, I did.

0:14:20 > 0:14:21- I love crofting.

0:14:21 > 0:14:24- That's my favourite occupation.

0:14:24 > 0:14:27- Crofting is a fantastic way of life.

0:14:28 > 0:14:32- Nothing compares to it, - any other job you do.

0:14:32 > 0:14:34- It's a good healthy job as well.

0:14:34 > 0:14:38- But, unfortunately, it's difficult - to make a living out of it.

0:14:39 > 0:14:42- In order to make a living, - he has had to adapt...

0:14:43 > 0:14:47- ..the traditional way of life - that his mother Ena knows.

0:14:47 > 0:14:50- It must be difficult - for her to accept.

0:14:51 > 0:14:56- You're successful at what you do, - so she's bound to be proud of you.

0:14:56 > 0:14:57- Is she accepting the fact now?

0:14:57 > 0:14:59- Is she accepting the fact now?- - She probably is, eventually.

0:14:59 > 0:15:02- Ideally, she'd rather stick - to the corn stacks.

0:15:02 > 0:15:06- That's all very well, - and I really enjoy doing that.

0:15:06 > 0:15:08- But we couldn't - make a living out of it.

0:15:09 > 0:15:12- Times have changed - and you have to move with the times.

0:15:23 > 0:15:27- Ena is a crofter from head to toe.

0:15:27 > 0:15:32- She has been awarded an MBE for her - contribution to this unique culture.

0:15:33 > 0:15:38- Over a cuppa, we hear - about the crofting life she knew...

0:15:39 > 0:15:40- ..that is fast changing.

0:15:40 > 0:15:43- Tractors must have made - a big difference.

0:15:43 > 0:15:44- Oh, aye.

0:15:44 > 0:15:48- Is that one of the biggest changes - you've seen on the island?

0:15:49 > 0:15:51- Tractors and machinery?

0:15:55 > 0:15:56- I suppose so.

0:15:57 > 0:16:00- I used to work with the horses - with my father.

0:16:00 > 0:16:02- Fill up the cart with seaweed.

0:16:06 > 0:16:08- Do all the harrowing - when I was a child.

0:16:08 > 0:16:12- I've got a lovely photo. - I don't know where I've put it.

0:16:12 > 0:16:16- When you see some of the crofts - that people have moved to...

0:16:17 > 0:16:21- ..do you feel they're not crofting - them as well as they used to?

0:16:21 > 0:16:23- They don't have to.

0:16:23 > 0:16:26- They can go to the shop - and buy their milk.

0:16:26 > 0:16:30- They're not true crofters, - in some respects.

0:16:32 > 0:16:35- Well, not how we would - describe it years ago.

0:16:36 > 0:16:40- The most active crofters - and well-worked crofts...

0:16:40 > 0:16:43- ..are all in their seventies now.

0:16:43 > 0:16:45- Some of them...

0:16:45 > 0:16:49- There's about four good crofts - not far away.

0:16:49 > 0:16:51- They're all bachelors.

0:16:51 > 0:16:53- It's sad. It really is sad.

0:16:56 > 0:16:59- I think, somehow, we were happier.

0:16:59 > 0:17:01- There was more time for each other.

0:17:03 > 0:17:07- You didn't have to think - of making so much money, I suppose.

0:17:07 > 0:17:10- You didn't have the bills coming in.

0:17:12 > 0:17:14- You weren't saving up - for a holiday.

0:17:17 > 0:17:19- We didn't have phones.

0:17:22 > 0:17:25- What else do we have today - we didn't have then?

0:17:32 > 0:17:38- It wasn't as if Ena - was yearning for the old methods.

0:17:38 > 0:17:41- What she missed most - were the people.

0:17:41 > 0:17:43- And the condition of the crofts.

0:17:43 > 0:17:45- She showed the photos.

0:17:46 > 0:17:49- Photos of people - going about their work.

0:17:49 > 0:17:51- Harvesting, gathering peat.

0:17:51 > 0:17:55- She said that the methods have gone - and the people have gone.

0:17:57 > 0:18:02- Unfortunately, the modern world - has had a negative effect.

0:18:03 > 0:18:07- You couldn't live without - technology, electricity and so on.

0:18:08 > 0:18:12- But it hasn't done - much good here, really.

0:18:15 > 0:18:17- But maybe we're romanticizing.

0:18:17 > 0:18:20- Maybe they should - get with the times and move on.

0:18:21 > 0:18:24- Maybe if more of the crofters...

0:18:25 > 0:18:29- ..had the same mindset as Angus, - the situation would be better.

0:18:30 > 0:18:33- But too many exist there - instead of using the place.

0:18:36 > 0:18:40- Despite the modern influences - on Angus and his family...

0:18:40 > 0:18:44- ..there's one tradition - that they're determined to keep.

0:18:44 > 0:18:48- Every September, Angus leads - his cattle to greener pastures.

0:18:48 > 0:18:52- They'll spend winter - on the enchanting island of Vallay.

0:18:52 > 0:18:54- It's time to move the cattle.

0:18:55 > 0:18:59- To an island, but the tide's out, - so we won't drown.

0:18:59 > 0:19:00- It's quite a task.

0:19:00 > 0:19:01- Is it two miles?

0:19:01 > 0:19:03- Is it two miles?- - A two-mile walk.

0:19:03 > 0:19:08- The tide's out, so we can - cross the beach to the island.

0:19:09 > 0:19:10- I'm looking forward to this.

0:19:11 > 0:19:12- Proper cowboys!

0:19:17 > 0:19:21- We're driving - over a hundred Highland cattle...

0:19:21 > 0:19:25- ..to the lonely island - that sits like a crown above Uist.

0:19:29 > 0:19:33- For a few hours each day, - the tide goes out...

0:19:33 > 0:19:37- ..offering a rare opportunity - to cross to the island.

0:19:40 > 0:19:43- For Angus and his family, - especially Ena...

0:19:44 > 0:19:47- ..this continues - a very special tradition.

0:20:03 > 0:20:06- I've driven cattle - on several continents...

0:20:06 > 0:20:09- ..but this is a new experience.

0:20:12 > 0:20:15- Seeing them go along the beach...

0:20:15 > 0:20:17- ..I love being a part of this.

0:20:18 > 0:20:19- It's incredible.

0:20:20 > 0:20:23- Is this why - you get up in the morning?

0:20:23 > 0:20:25- Definitely. It's what I love to do.

0:20:26 > 0:20:29- This is a sight - that's up with the best of them.

0:20:29 > 0:20:30- It's paradise.

0:20:31 > 0:20:35- The island, the expanse, - the tide, the lovely cattle.

0:20:36 > 0:20:37- It's perfect.

0:20:38 > 0:20:42- If I had a horse, I'd feel like - Clint Eastwood or John Wayne!

0:21:22 > 0:21:25- Diversification has enabled Angus...

0:21:26 > 0:21:29- ..to hold on to the traditions - that he loves.

0:21:29 > 0:21:32- Who are we to doubt the future?

0:21:39 > 0:21:41- This is an incredible place.

0:21:42 > 0:21:44- It's a 650-acre island.

0:21:44 > 0:21:48- Angus owns it - and it's almost untouched by man.

0:21:48 > 0:21:51- The plan is - to renovate the mansion.

0:21:52 > 0:21:53- This will be a paradise.

0:21:54 > 0:21:55- Paradise, Angus.

0:21:55 > 0:21:58- Paradise, yes, you're right.

0:21:58 > 0:22:01- We've seen some sights - during our trip...

0:22:01 > 0:22:05- ..but ending with this, - crossing those cattle...

0:22:06 > 0:22:09- ..with that backdrop - and this location...

0:22:09 > 0:22:12- ..this is the highlight, I think.

0:22:12 > 0:22:15- It won't get better than this.

0:22:15 > 0:22:17- I've really enjoyed it.

0:22:20 > 0:22:21- Thank you.

0:22:21 > 0:22:23- ANGUS SPEAKS GAELIC

0:22:25 > 0:22:30- It has been an unforgettable trip, - but it's time to go home.

0:22:50 > 0:22:53- If I've learnt - one thing about Scotland...

0:22:53 > 0:22:56- ..it's the scale - of the terrain, its size.

0:22:56 > 0:22:57- It's huge.

0:22:58 > 0:23:02- As for the people, - certainly the people we've met...

0:23:03 > 0:23:06- ..I can't speak for every Scot...

0:23:06 > 0:23:09- ..but they're ready - to play their part...

0:23:09 > 0:23:13- ..in the community and at work...

0:23:13 > 0:23:16- ..from the big estates - to the small islands.

0:23:17 > 0:23:21- They're all prepared to work - in order to make a living.

0:23:21 > 0:23:25- On any level, they'll work - for others or for themselves.

0:23:25 > 0:23:27- They all play their part.

0:23:27 > 0:23:28- And the van's still going.

0:23:28 > 0:23:31- And the van's still going.- - That may be the biggest shock.

0:23:31 > 0:23:33- The van's still going!

0:23:33 > 0:23:36- And you've coped - with the smell of my feet.

0:23:36 > 0:23:37- Where can we go next?

0:23:37 > 0:23:38- Where can we go next?- - I don't know.

0:23:39 > 0:23:41- Anywhere the van will take us.
