Shows Scottish settlers in the Highlands of Cape Breton, much like the Highlands of Scotland. Small flocks of sheep like the crofters of the old country wander on the hills and provide wool for spinning and weaving, while the plain-spired churches and the only Gaelic College in the world keep alive the faith brought from other highlands across the sea. Gaelic language is heard in the church, singing in community and casual exchanges between passers-by.

Documentary series examining community relocations across Canada. The show explores the multi-generational effects of forced upheaval on members of these communities and their descendants. Surviving members of the communities reveal their resilience and devotion to preserving the essential values and the most important legacies of their respective communities and cultures.
