Alone on a Remote Island: Could I Actually Handle It?

What's it actually like to be left alone on a tiny island in Scotland at short notice with responsibility to look after about 700 sheep?! My parents have been farming an ancient breed of seaweed-eating sheep on a remote Scottish island for nearly 50 years. I took a sabbatical from my job as a TV news reporter to help and decided to film a documentary series about their unique lifestyle while I was there. In this episode, I am left all alone on the island when my dad had a health emergency and needed to be airlifted to hospital. Thankfully he was fixed up by the amazing NHS in Kirkwall, Orkney and within a few days he and my mum were able to come back.
