Programme Guide

Outline:
Set in the Hebridean island of Lewis, off the north-west coast of Scotland, Machair was based around a fictional further educational college called Bradan Mor which specialised in business and media studies.
The majority of the filming was set outside to get as much of the background location in as possible.
Machair is the Gaelic word for describing an extensive low-lying fertile plain.
