Scotland: The Western Islands - Episode 4 - Lewis to Barra

[@kevkas]

I really like the soothing voice of both the guy explaining stuff on camera, and the voice off camera too. Very pleasent.

My family roots are from Barra. It looks very much like Cape Breton Island in Canada. I can see why many settled there. I hope to visit one day.

I'm surprised you haven't had many more views and comments! A very thorough series, sympathetically presented, with a lot of feeling for what makes the Gaels and the islands so distinct.

Great video, thanks. THE STONES OF CALLANISH. © On the West coast of Lewis by the wide Atlantic; there was ne'er a scene, so blithe and romantic. Over four thousand years ago, the ancients raised stones; but there's little left now, not even their bones. The stones of Callanish, on a misty morn; where close by, the love between Fin and Marshally was re-born. They spent that night by the beach in their youth; eyes for each other, never caring for the truth. The last Summer on the Isle of his boyhood; before the move to Glasgow, as both of them would. Both children of Lewis, and proud Hebridean; the last, before fate and adulthood began. BY JACK D. HARRISON. 2020. Inspired by ‘The Blackhouse’ by Peter May; Photography of David Wilson; and the Outer Hebrides.
