The Corncrake and the Croft

A 1977 BBC Bristol production for The World About Us series captures a vanished world of crofting in the Outer Hebrides. Written and narrated by Finlay J. Macdonald, filmed and directed by Alan McGregor with help from the RSPB Film Unit. Macdonald, a native Gaelic speaker, was from the nearby island of Harris.

For people in the UK with access to iPlayer, the doc is here in much higher resolution for a few days, supplemented with material in which some of the younger people seen in the film watch it and tell us what they've done since, and how life on the islands has changed.
