Tha eòlaiche eachdraidh ionadal ag innse dhi mu sheann uaigh Lochlannach, agus fhuair i cothrom còmhraidh ri dithis dhe na bh' air fhà gail de luchd-labhairt na Gà idhlig. Tha i a' dèanamh coimeas eadar Gà idhlig an dà eilein agus a' faicinn gu bheil iomadh cà irdeas eatorra.
Mus till i dhachaigh tha Fraoch a'dol gu cèilidh a'chluinntinn Clann 'IcNèill nam Machraichean a'seinn " Â鶹ԼÅÄ to Colonsay".
In this programme, Heather takes the short flight from Islay to the island of Colonsay. During her time there she samples a range of local produce, from native Colonsay oysters to wildflower honey and local ale from the island's microbrewery.
She meets a local historian who tells her about a recently discovered Viking burial and speaks to a couple of the island's Gaelic speakers. Heather compares her Islay Gaelic to that of Colonsay and discovers that the dialects of the neighbouring islands bear many similarities.
Before leaving, Heather attends a ceilidh where local band the Machrins McNeills perform their song Â鶹ԼÅÄ to Colonsay.
