Grand Tours of Scotland's Lochs
Paul discovers a forgotten German PoW camp from WWI before walking to the Blackwater Dam – built 100 years ago by the last of the navvies. Afterwards, a trek across the moors leads to the UK’s highest and remotest railway station. After enjoying luxury in the middle of nowhere at Corrour Lodge, Paul makes a long hike down to Loch Laggan, where he is taken out to an island with a legendary feasting tradition. Further south, he explores the lochs of the northern Trossachs. Here, he learns about mythic water horses and the legend of Rob Roy MacGregor, and meets a man who casts doubt on this legendary character. Paul then travels along a disused railway to the ‘Shaky Toun’ – Scotland’s earthquake centre. A trek on horseback takes Paul to Loch Tay, where he goes back to the Iron Age and learns how to light a fire without matches. Journey’s end is on the summit of mist-wreathed Ben Lawers.

The Mystery of Anthrax Island
Anthrax is a rare disease caused by naturally occurring bacteria which can form spores that are fatal to humans and animals. During the Second World War, government scientists from Porton Down attempted to weaponise anthrax, creating a deadly strain that they then tested on Gruinard Island, an uninhabited remote site off the coast of Scotland. This proved disastrous for Gruinard and, from 1942 onwards, people were forbidden from setting foot on the island. Signs were erected on the shore and the adjacent mainland, and Gruinard was dubbed The Island of Death or Anthrax Island. This documentary reveals an extraordinary Scottish story from 1981, when a shadowy group called the Dark Harvest Commandos claimed to have landed on the island and removed 300lbs worth of infected soil. They wrote a dramatic letter explaining and justifying their actions, which was sent to various newspapers and the BBC. In the letter, they explained their campaign to clean up Gruinard had begun with a package of island soil dumped outside Porton Down. Nobody knew who they were or if they were serious.

Banjo has been commissioned by married couple Jhennia and Rachel to transform the Puffer Pub on the tiny slate island of Easdale. The historic pub is the beating heart of Easdale’s population of just 60, so Banjo’s design needs to hit the mark with the locals and the owners. With no roads and only wheelbarrows to transport all his materials, this makeover will be very challenging. Lisa, Eoghan and Tom race against time to complete his ambitious designs, but will his radical idea of replacing the decades-old bar meet the approval of the locals, and can he complete the work ahead of the World Stone Skimming Championships.

Can the team transform the empty dull space into a beautiful but functional apothecary for Amanda to work her botanic magic in, or will the scale of the project defeat them.

Designing the Hebrides
Artist Mike and his teacher wife Kate moved to Iona 20 years ago. They now run Iona Wool, which sells ethical local wool products. Their shop is functional but could do with some Banjo design magic. The beautiful colours of their stock mean that they don’t want much colour, which is a challenge for Banjo, whose designs are often dark and richly coloured. Banjo comes up with a modern Hebridean design idea which he hopes will keep selling the gorgeous woollens but also warm up the shop with some fun design features. Banjo heads to Glasgow to his favourite salvage shop and buys dozens of bobbins from old wool mills to help with his design. His trusty team of local tradespeople help him realise his design vision. Meanwhile, Lisa makes woollen lampshades, and Eoghan builds a woven timber wall to hide a changing room. With little time and only £6,000, will Banjo’s shop transformation hit the mark.
