Schools, colleges and festivals all over Scotland are at the centre of a traditional music revival. Arising out of these institutions are talented singers and musicians who go onto successful careers in the music industry.

In this programme we meet a group from Fèis Rois and Lewis-based band Oidhche Chiadain, who are amongst the youngsters who are now at the forefront of this musical revitalisation. Now they gather in Ullapool to put on a special show case for this series reflecting on the rise in interest in traditional Scottish music.

Title: Trusadh / Shifting Sabbath

Lewis and Harris, in the Hebrides, are amongst the last bastions of strong Sunday observance in Britain. However, things are changing on the islands with traditional views on Sabbath keeping being challenged.

Encountering various members of the public, from ministers to parents to journalists, it is clear that the range of arguments for and against the upkeep of this religious tradition is diverse. The one thing upon which they can all agree, is that the coming years will continue to see a shifting Sabbath, which will be critical in how the day will be observed by future generations.

Title: Soillse / Women of the Vatican

The Vatican is traditionally a male dominated state. But recently women have increasingly been finding careers at the heart of the
Catholic faith; running, promoting and preserving the heart of the Catholic church.

These women do some of the most important jobs in the Vatican – out with those jobs which require ordination. They fulfil tasks as
varied as helping to vet saint applicants to dealing with public enquiries to meet the Pope.
