| Summary |
To begin this grand tour, Paul is travelling on an icon of the west coast, an original steam powered puffer and is exploring a string of islands just off the west coast near Oban. Paul discovers that these little known islands played a vital role in the Battle of the Atlantic in World War II and were, for centuries, the centre of slate production for the world. Paul's final destination in this grand tour is Eileach an Naoimh, one of the Garvallach Islands, and home to some of the oldest religious buildings in Scotland |
