He shares with her the story of the Giant Angus MacAskill, who made a living from his height - all seven foot, nine inches of him. Roddy Shaw shares his story of growing up on Berneray and attending high school in Harris, as well as some interesting folklore about the landscape of the island. Kate attempts to swim with seals and also kayaks around the shores of the stunning West Beach - which was recently named the most beautiful beach in Europe
