Scotland's Sacred Islands With Ben Fogle

Ben Fogle explores the ancient sea roads of the Inner Hebrides, with their evocative connections to 6th-century Christian missionaries. On Tiree, Ben explores 1300-year-old temple ruins.

Arriving on the Isle of Barra, Ben discovers how his own hand-knitted Gansey fisherman's jumper is inspired by the hazardous life on these islands. Ben boards a fishing boat in a wild sea heading for the remote and deserted Mingulay.

Ben returns to Taransay, the island where, over 20 years ago, he took part in the TV show `Castaway'. He visits Luskentyre Beach and joins local community members to learn how the island's remoteness sustains the sanctity of the Protestant Sabbath.

Ben Fogle visits six islands across the Shetlands. On the beautiful and uninhabited St Ninian's Isle, he contemplates those in the distant past who sought out remote spots for quiet contemplation.

Ben Fogle travels across Scotland's remotest islands to discover their spiritual legacy.

Ben takes a tiny passenger ferry from mainland Argyll down the length of Loch Sween to arrive on Islay. While the island is famed for its whisky, the island has more distilleries than churches, its links to Christianity are ancient.
