Ten-year-old Lena from the Isle of Harris in the Western Isles of Scotland knows exactly what she wants for her present and her future – to work with her beloved sheep. She wants to learn from her father and older crofters so that she can continue the traditional agricultural way of life that she is being brought up with.
The future of the family croft is in safe hands with this passionate young crofter who likes to be at the heart of any work her father has to do. But this year, she has a clear goal in mind - to make the trip to the off-shore island of Pabbay for the first time for a very special annual crofting activity.
With an intrinsic, deep connection and bond to the traditional way of life on their island and to the land, culture and of course, their animals, Lena will provide a glimpse of what life is like for young Scottish island crofters who are continuing the proud and traditional way of life of generations of Hebrideans.
