Lewis and the Price of Prosperity

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

A report by Alastair Hetherington
The island of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides is like no other community in Britain. At its heart is the Free Church with its insistence on a rigorous observance of the Sabbath. In recent months the exploitation of offshore oil has led to the influx of several hundred workers from the mainland. The old way of life is threatened.
