to get to.

that island life weather can often mean
5
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:46,000
and in this series I'm setting out of the Scottish islands,
6
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:55,000
Crisscrossing north to the Bass Rock in the south.
7
00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:01,000
There are nearly 300 islands big
8
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:09,000
that surround the myriad of stacks and skerries
9
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,000
the Atlantic Ocean to the North Sea.
10
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:37,000
For the first
11
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:50,000
The island of Foula is officially the edge of the world.
12
00:01:50,000 --> 00:02:10,000
You can still take west of Shetland.
13
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:27,000
four days a week to Foula.

of cliff-girt terrain
15
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:48,000
Now here we are,
16
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:06,000
Experienced travellers
17
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:12,000
tells you everything from airport to hotel
18
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:22,000
where the sense of remoteness is surely true of Foula -
19
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:31,000
living on a small island could be a In the past especially,
20
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,000
fair share of hardship.
21
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:19,000
visiting strangers like me island people used to put
22
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:36,000
Now I like to consider myself
23
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:51,000
Now, Bryan... Yes, Paul.
24
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,000
it's an active thing, yeah.
25
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:59,000
Well, you see that's the thing, not that I know of.
26
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:04,000
So you've three days for it to know of and it'll develop. Right.
27
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:09,000
So was there a history of disease and they won't catch anything.
28
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:17,000
And then there was the influenza, Did it really?
29
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:21,000
half the population were gone.
30
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:30,000
So what was it? to run his B
31
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:46,000
Well, no, I just looked it upon as the island, would you say?
32
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:54,000
Like most islanders, Bryan has
33
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,000
a lot of call for that one.
34
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:08,000
Bryan also keeps some sheep
35
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,000
to their needs,
36
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:18,000
a great skua with Bob,
37
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:32,000
Whilst it's OK for bonxie Bob Are you going to catch it? That's it.
38
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:44,000
All groceries and booze now have to but it closed years ago.
39
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:58,000
I meet up with two island women, Flouting quarantine etiquette,
40
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:20,000
Da Sneck o da Smaallie, they both agreed to guide me to see
41
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,000
is that a Norse word as well?
42
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:41,000
and Fuglaey is the Norse word well, it's from Fuglaey
43
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:45,000
Right. So not too long.
44
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,000
No, not yet.
45
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:53,000
known as Da Daal,
46
00:07:53,000 --> 00:08:16,000
It doesn't actually look much like some of Bob's relatives I suspect.'
47
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:33,000
They must be quite difficult birds

laid their eggs yet,
49
00:08:50,000 --> 00:09:04,000
Now this looks very our way to Da Sneck o da Smaallie.
50
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:08,000
It's like a Grand Canyon of Foula.
51
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,000
the Grand Canyon.
52
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:17,000
Penny and Fran disappear down
53
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:34,000
Look at these huge chalk stones
54
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:42,000
I think it's best not to think just waiting to fall on my head.
55
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,000

Right, so it's a tourist attraction? do besides bird watching."
167
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:15,000
