Peter is in Argyll and Bute learning about Westies' history and personality. Tha P脿druig ann an Earra-Gh脿idheal is Bh貌id ag ionnsachadh mu eachdraidh is n脿dar nan Westie.

In this exciting episode, Peter MacQueen embarks on a heartfelt journey to explore one of Scotland鈥檚 most iconic dog breeds - the West Highland White Terrier, or Westie. These little dogs, known for their striking white coats and bold personalities, hold a special place in Peter鈥檚 heart, as he once had a beloved Westie named Se貌ras.

Peter鈥檚 adventure begins in Aberdeenshire, where he falls in love with an irresistible Westie puppy, before travelling to Argyll and Bute, where the breed originated, to uncover the fascinating story behind why these charming dogs were bred with their distinctive white fur.

As he meets different Westies along the way, Peter realises that, despite being the same breed, each one has a completely unique personality. Intrigued by this, he sets out to investigate how a breed can share certain traits while having such diverse individual temperaments. With the help of experts and a group of dog walkers in Glasgow鈥檚 famous Kelvingrove Park, Peter runs a scientific experiment to see if genes play a role in shaping these personalities.

After an emotional journey across Scotland, Peter unexpectedly finds himself ready to make a life-changing decision. Could a Westie be one of the breeds he wants to join his family?
