Mach à Seo!
Season 4 Episode 8 of 8
Ramsay MacMahon goes island-hopping in Argyll's Slate Islands. Known as the 'Islands that Roofed the World', Ramsay learns about the rich history of the slate quarrying industry that shaped these islands. Starting at the Clachan Bridge, known as the Bridge Over the Atlantic, he drives through Seil, to catch the ferry to Luing. There he meets a local who worked in the island's slate quarries. Next, it's over to Belnahua, a deserted island where the quarry has gouged out the island's landscape and the ruins of the miners' cottages still stand. The next morning, Ramsay travels to Easdale, home of the World Stone Skimming Championships
