Following an annual expedition to the small island of Sùlaisgeir to hunt for guga.

Second of a two-part documentary following an annual expedition to the small island of Sùlaisgeir to hunt for guga, young gannets that can be eaten as a delicacy.

Aon turas sa bhliadhna tha deichnear fhireannach à sgìre Nis ann an Eilean Leòdhais a' seòladh 40 mìle gu Tuath son eòin-mara sònraichte - an guga - a ghlagadh. 'S gann gu bheil an sealg air atharrachadh tro na linntean, agus seallaidh sinn air an traidisean àraid seo tro agallamhan leothasan a ghabh pàirt thar nam bliadhnaichean, agus tro sheann fhilmichean dhen t-sealg, cuid nach deach fhaicinn a-riamh roimhe.

Once a year a small group of men from Ness on Lewis make a 40-mile sea journey north to catch a special seabird - the guga. The hunt has barely changed in centuries, and we explore this unique tradition through interviews with those who have taken part over the years and rarely seen archive.
