In the final programme of the landmark series, narrated by Ewan McGregor, we meet the people of the Hebrides and discover how they're learning to live side-by-side with their wild neighbours. Ferryman Donnie MacDonald from Skye has discovered that business can prosper if your passengers can be treated to some on-board entertainment in the form of white tailed eagles hunting alongside the boat.
