Tosaíonn sí le scéal a sean-uncail Murchadh a chuaigh ag an Astráil nuair a bhí se 21. Chuaigh sé isteach ‘sna póilíní agus d’fhan leo go ceann 39 bliain, gur cáilleadh é. Mar nach raibh aon teaghlach aige, seoladh a chuid rudaí abhaile ag teachlach Seonaid. Bhí sciath dúchasach ón Astráil ina measc, agus tá sé ag crochadh ar bhalla dheartháir Sheonaid anois.

Seonaid is originally from Lewis, off the west coast of Scotland and finds herself in Inverness, Highlands. She sits facing the camera and tells her story of why she is there. She starts by telling the story of her Great Uncle Murdoch who went out to Australia when he was 21. He joined the police and stayed with them for 39 years until his death. As he had no family, his possessions are sent to Seonaid's family. One of the artefacts is an Aboriginal shield, which Seonaid's brother hangs on the wall.
