Lochailort to Skye

In the final leg of his journey from Ayr to Skye, Michael Portillo discovers how the railways provided Second World War commandos with the means to travel to the isolated landscape of Lochailort, where they were able to train without attracting the attention of German spies. He also learns why langoustines have replaced herrings as the best catch in the fishing port of Mallaig, and explores the history of Highland crofters.
