For centuries the hundreds of small, mainly uninhabited islands off the west coast of Scotland have been used by shepherds in the production of livestock, especially sheep.

Derek Morrison of Stornoway has just taken over the grazing rights for the Shiants, a group of rocky islands which lie off the east coast of the Isle of Harris. The programme follows him on his first trip with an experienced band of sea shepherds to take the lambs off the island for the sales.

Kenny Campbell has been shepherd on the island of Pabbay, which also lies off Harris, for over 30 years, but his family's connection with the island goes back three generations. Today there is a strong bond between Kenny and his sons, and the family that owns the island.
