A year ago, Romesh Ranganathan visited the Arctic to film a Christmas episode of the Misadventures of Romesh Ranganathan.

This year, he has agreed to do another Christmas episode - on the strict understanding that he will not go anywhere cold.

Everyone Romesh has ever met has told him how amazing the Scottish islands are - but nobody he knows has actually ever been there.

Guiding him through the journey is Donald Macsween, or Sweeney to his friends, a local crofter from the far north of Lewis - a place that lies as far north as Greenland.
