Storyline

Feeling gutted and guilty after the death of Alex, Hamish leaves the village and seeks solitude on a deserted island but ends up having to rescue Belle,an elderly woman making a sentimental pilgrimage to the island who has accidentally stepped on a land-mine which will explode unless Hamish can defuse the situation.Back in Lochdubh he is sorely missed as his over-zealous replacement P.C. Duggan fails to understand the lassitude with which Hamish treated the village miscreants and manages to fall foul of everybody,ultimately being threatened with learning the fate of the man who was the law before the man before Hamish.
