Islands in the Sunset

Greg Hemphill looks at the documentaries made between 1938 and 1982 to sell Scotland to the world. The final programme celebrates some of Scotland's islands.

Greg Hemphill takes a sideways look at some remarkable documentary films. Between 1938 and 1982 over a hundred and fifty films were made to sell Scotland to the world and tell Scots themselves about their own country.

The final programme in the series celebrates films made about some of the 790 islands of Scotland, places of romance and beauty. Featuring Life in the Orkneys, a stunning black-and-white film made in 1957 and Duna Bull, the Films of Scotland's only drama, starring Juliet Cadzow and a rather large Highland bull called Willie.
