Season 1 - Episode Guide

Ian Hamilton and his guide dog Major are off to Ardrossan, North Ayrshire, the coastal town and ferry port known as the gateway to wealthy Arran.

But Ian wants to get away from this well-worn narrative and get under the skin of the place. What are the community and generational dynamics of this town? Who knows who? Where are the old-timers and who are the new kids on the block?

Ian Hamilton and his guide dog, Major, are off to Blairgowrie and Rattray in Perthshire. The town is the soft fruit capital of the UK, but is there more to the town than raspberries?

Ian Hamilton and guide dog Major are off to Annan in Dumfries and Galloway. With its important industrial history, including boat building, fishing and even nuclear power, how is Annan adapting to the modern world?
