Episode 8
In the original series transmitted in the late 1970s and the 1980s, presenters Angela MacEachan, Murdo F Macleod and Martin MacDonald covered a variety of stories. Some of the reports highlighted include Angela MacEachan's 1983 visit to Islay, where she found out about the problem geese were causing for farmers. There is also a report on ferry service timetable changes that were causing problems for the Islay community. Next door on the island of Jura, things were more worrying for the local inhabitants. In the middle of the 19th century, the population of Jura was 1,300, but when Murdo MacLeod visited in the 80s that number had decreased to less than 200.
