For centuries Highlanders have been drifting away - driven off their lands by the difficulties of their environment and, above all, by the cruel events of history.
Today the far north-west shows a legacy of 200 years of exploitation and misguided paternalism.
The helicopter flew 3,000 miles, criss-crossing from Skye to Orkney, from Balmoral to St Kilda - the loneliest of all the British Isles. The camera looked down on misty lochs which once sheltered Bonnie Prince Charlie; on the roofless villages of deserted Hebridean islands; on crofters scratching a living from stony fields; on hydro-electric dams and forests which are intended to bring people back to the Highlands. If there is wilderness anywhere in Britain, it is here; but for how long will it withstand the pressures of an ever-expanding population?

The Garthpool was the last of the British deep-sea windjammers. Forty years ago she set sail from Hull on what was to be her final voyage, for she was wrecked on the Cape Verde Islands on 11 November 1929.
One of her crew was 23-year-old Stan Hugill, an able seaman and shantyman - 'that's the man,' he explains,' who sings the songs used when you're hauling the ropes or setting sail or manning the capstan...' Hugill is one of the last genuine shantymen in the country, and in this film he talks - and sings - of the Garthpool's historic voyage.
