ON THESE ISLES
Life on a Scottish Isle is a demanding existence, with security provided only by the local community, numbering less than thirty in the case of many islands of the Inner Hebrides. In particular, the Scottish Small Isles contain some of the earliest evidence of human existence in Scotland; they have become embedded in local history alongside stories of evacuation, tragedy and feuds. Today on the Scottish Small Isles, a leading example is set as spirited and resourceful communities look towards securing their future.
