I was asked by a philatelic friend to do a 1st day cover for the original screening, which I attended along with half the cast of extras, it was a wierd feeling, now I still have about 8 or 9 left, and would like to offload them to people who would appreciate them, so if anybody is interested get in touch. In the film they had Zucher shot by firing squad, however I have a cover signed by him ( at least I hope it's his signature ) Cheery Arnish keep up the good work.

There's an interesting feature on this on the Uig and Bernera community website.

We here on Mull only know Mr Shorrock, the films producer, because he was the chap who proposed to erect 500 wind turbines on Ardnamurchan, Morvern and Mull. He was sure this was a good idea. I remember reading that he was also sure that this film would win an Oscar. Having seen the film Arnish, do you think this is likly Arnish ?

Oscar, Pondhead? I enjoyed the film, but an Oscar - no.

Apart from the great extras ( no not Ricky gervais ) the film/movie was average at best. Went too far with the love interest, and not enough of the quality extras available.

Thanks guys. As wind farmer / film producer Mark Shorrock elloquently said when talking about the film (The Scotsman 17.06.01) "People think of Great Britain as one big overcrowded concrete jungle but then you come to somewhere like this and see that it is almost a wilderness. This place is unique because the sense of isolation is so special. It also has an austere beauty; it combines Mediterranean seas with Highland scenery. That doesn't exist anywhere else in the world". Sounds like the film looks good but lack content - pitty.

What has happened to the march of the evil windmills?

I have been in Lewis since late 2004 and am observing life on this fascinating island from an outsider's perspective. I look out at the lighthouse every day - as it looks out over the island and the sea.
