Scotland's Sacred Islands with Ben Fogle - Episode Guide

In this first episode, Ben travels across the Inner Hebrides visiting Tiree, Coll, the Treshnish Isles and Iona. Following the ancient ‘Hebridean Sea Highways', Ben discovers evocative connections to sixth century Christian Missionaries.

Ben Fogle explores Catholic island life and whether the physical aspect of the landscape makes it easier to make spiritual connections.

At the end of his spiritual journey across Scotland's Sacred Isles Ben Fogle visits six islands across the Shetland Isles. He meets people whose lives are rooted to these islands' history, visits a tiny church with big ideas and catches up with Shetland chef Akshay Borges, a champion of the island's 'sea harvest'.

Travelling to Arran and Holy Isle, Ben Fogle learns how they're a haven for diverse faiths and beliefs, makes Jewish challah bread and visits a Buddhist peace centre.

Ben Fogle journeys to Islay and Jura, tracing the route of sixth-century Christian monks across wild seaways to discover communities going the extra mile to look out for one another.
