Mesmerising and evocative archive films will soon be touring to Scotland’s coastal communities.
It’s the latest outing of A Kind of Seeing’s hugely popular touring programme, Made by the Sea.
Castlebay – Kishmul Castle in 1930s
From Ullapool to the Isle of Barra the tour brings archive films to coastal communities where the footage was originally shot and is still relevant today. From warships sailing into 1950s Ullapool to the important work of the RNLI lifeboats in the treacherous Pentland Firth, portrayals of life on and near the sea have often been dramatic. But Made by the Sea audiences can expect the lighter side too, with fabulous seaside holidays on the West coast and television’s legendary wanderer Tom Weir exploring the island of Vatersay near Barra.
