Impressions of Skye

Overview

Come over the sea to Skye in 1959, with its majestic mist-covered mountains, lush valleys and snug white-washed croft houses, in this award winning amateur film from Iain Dunnachie. See bustling Portree’s colourful 1950s cars, buses and fashions, and feel for the hardworking crofter in his backbreaking daily routine with peat to cut, haystacks to build, cows and toddlers to care for. Poetry and landscape combine in this moving and memorable film showing a lost way of life.
