Island In The Song
S1 • E4 Jul 28, 1970 30m
Eriskay is a remote Gaelic-speaking island in the Scottish Hebrides - best known from 'The Eriskay Love Lilt.' But it has more romance: here on the white-sand beach Bonnie Prince Charlie set foot on Scottish soil, and here they romped through the real-life 'Whisky Galore' story.
Duncan Campbell is back living on this barren and beautiful island with his wife and eight children. Like so many Eriskay boys he had to leave, for there was no work. Now, after half a lifetime away, he has returned to a different Eriskay -
still romantic, but stirring with a new prosperity from the sea.
