Islay: A Race Apart
Season 3 Episode 4 of 6
Paul Murton visits Islay, travelling from Finlaggan - where the famous ruler Somerled once held court - along the windswept coast, through its historic ports and villages to end on its highest mountain. Along the way he joins dedicated locals keeping the seafaring traditions of the island alive, discovers the secrets of Islay's illicit whisky distilling past and climbs Ben Vicar for a breathtaking view across the Hebrides
