The Island That Refused to Die (1971)
80 year-old Gaelic speaker Donald MacDonald takes us on a brief tour of his lifelong home, Gigha - a tiny island off the West coast of Scotland. He explains how Gigha has been able to fend off the threat of depopulation, which has afflicted so many other small Scottish islands, to become a place of beauty and prosperity.
