Dougie and the team make the 100-mile journey from the mainland out into the Atlantic to discover St Kilda, Britain's remotest and wildest islands. Dougie takes a walk up the highest sea cliffs in Britain and gets a bird's-eye view of the geology and ecology. He hears worrying evidence that the world-renowned sea birds' colonies are now facing an uncertain future due to climate change.

Elsewhere, Anne follows the footsteps of the last islanders, discovering why these Hebridean people eventually had to leave. She also discovers what the hundreds of unique built structures that are scattered throughout the islands were used for. Meanwhile, Cammy finds out about the ancient sheep population and discovers why they are so fascinating for scientists. He also goes behind the scenes to see the seasonal ranger's home and finds out what it's like to live full-time on St Kilda.

With the festive season fast approaching, Dougie visits a farm near Buchlyvie, in Stirlingshire, that has diversified from producing beef to growing Christmas trees. He lends a hand as people come along to cut their own trees.

Elsewhere, Rosie is in Ullapool to help the community build this year's creel Christmas tree, while Cammy visits young farmers taking part in the trial of an app that tracks low-level mental health.

Anne is near Strathdon to find out out how avian flu is affecting poultry farmers producing Christmas turkeys, and Arlene is just outside Cupar, in Fife, to discover the benefits of overwintering cattle on specially grown forage.
