In episode 6, Karen is having a blether with Clare Winskill. Clare and her partner Iain run Coruisk House in Elgol on the Isle of Skye. In a previous life she was an intensive care nurse, and also a lawyer specialising in insolvency. They talk about those massive career changes, the decision to take on a small business in Skye, and how she found out some of her former colleagues were involved in a £245 million pound fraud that led to 6 of them going to jail.

In Skye, Clare has taken on quite a few leadership roles – she is the Co-Chair of the Institute of Directors Highlands and Islands, as well as being a member of the Scottish Tourism Alliance. A lot of the blether focuses on that. And on her concerns about the future of tourism in the highlands as we await the introduction of a visitor levy.
