BBC ALBA - Look Stranger, Gigha and Rhum

Two programmes from 1971 portraying life on the Inner Hebridean islands of Gigha and Rum.

An opportunity to view two programmes from the BBC TV series Look Stranger, originally broadcast in 1971 and portraying life on the islands of Gigha and Rum.

Eadar 1970 agus 1976 bha sgiobaidhean bhon t-sreath Look Stranger a' filmadh air feadh Bhreatainn gus dealbh a thoirt air an dòigh-beatha a bh' ann an diofar sgìrean den rìoghachd tro shùilean an fheadhainn a bha beò unnta bho latha gu latha. Ann an 1971 thug Dòmhnall Dòmhnallach sealladh air mar a chiadh Eilean Ghiogha bho bhith an impis a dhol fàs gu soirbheachas agus tha sinn a' faicinn mar a tha dol do Rhuma 's an eilean na thèarmann-nàdair cho mòr 's a bh' anns an dùthaich aig an àm. 

The BBC documentary series Look Stranger filmed throughout Britain between 1970 and 1976 and allowed viewers the opportunity to witness life in differing communities through the eyes of local people. In 1971, local resident Donald Macdonald explained how the Hebridean island of Gigha had survived the threat of depopulation and was now a place of beauty and prosperity. We also see how the island of Rhum was faring having been turned into Britain's largest conservation area at the time.
