Robson Green explores the extraordinary lives and homes of the people who live on Britain’s coastline - from families who are swapping their city homes for a new life by the sea to those who have lived on the coast for generations. In this Episode, Robson travels to the Isle of Skye In Scotland to meet a family who are planning to build their own timber house in just one day. Croft farming is a huge part of life on Skye, and Robson meets a family of crofters who have lived here for 4 generations and helps them move their flock of sheep to Staffin island on a small boat. Robson gets to try his hand at Scallop diving, joining a father and son team, in search of tasty local scallops hidden on the sea bed. And finally Robson visits the isolated island of Soay, which only has 3 residents, to find out what life is like being so cut off from the mainland.
In this Episode, Robson travels to the island of Anglesey, off the North coast of Wales, to meet a family who live in an ancient fisherman's cottage in the Menai Straits that they have lovingly restored; a woman who has left her stressful life in the city to set up a paddle boarding company on the island and a couple who have spent 12 years renovating their dream cliff top home with spectacular views over the Irish Sea.
