    The first of two programmes from Islay, after iPM listener Chris suggested the Hebredian island for an outside broadcast.
    Who lives there? What makes them tick? And how do they keep local traditions alive? We also hear from Ileachs - the residents there - about the booming whiskey industry, the impact its growth is having on Islay's infrastructure and how it attracts huge numbers of tourists to the island each year.
