Season 2 - Episode Guide

This episode catches car-free Sark's four-legged taxi service and meets Inishcorkish's special pigs in the Fermanagh Lakelands.

The custodians of Station Island, on County Donegal's Lough Derg, welcome over 10,000 people each year for a gruelling three-day pilgrimage without food or shoes. Roughly 150 miles to the north, Iona shares Station's monastic tradition. But life there is very different for Ailidh, who runs the island's unique takeaway.

On Iona, sheep farmer Joanne cares for the family's flock, but also plays an integral role in wool production on the island, resulting in a product that's unique to the island. Meanwhile, 350 miles away on Lundy Island, we meet employees of the Lundy Company who are able to live on the island by virtue of their jobs there. On North Uist, Alexander is using his skills acquired as a gardener on the mainland to reinvigorate his nine-and-a-half-acre croft.

A guide to self-sufficient island life, from off-grid living on the stunning Scottish island of Gometra to a special branch of Hare Krishnas on Lough Erne in Northern Ireland. Meanwhile, on Sark, island life is the perfect fit for a young family who are building their own home, beekeeping and serving as their community's first responders.
