Grand Tours of the Scottish Islands

S02E06 Atlantic Twins

Paul Murton explores the contrasting islands of Coll and Tiree, located only a short distance from each other. On Coll, he encounters Nicolas Maclean Bristol, the proprietor of Breachacha Castle, who can trace his lineage on the island back to the 14th century. In contrast, Tiree is known for its tempestuous weather, yet it stands out as one of the premier destinations in Britain for surfing and the emerging sport of sand yachting, where go-carts with sails race along the sandy shores.
