Easdale Island is a documentary suited for all audiences. About a small slate island along the north west coast of Scotland.
A passion film, self-financed.
I visited Easdale Island initially to film a wildlife documentary about otters, 'Water Dogs', also on RU-vid. At the time the island had two wild otters that visited it's waters, but when I returned 2 years later to film some of this documentary, I heard that the wild otters had been killed by cars. Hopefully they will have new wild otters that visit the waters for crab soon. Seeing the wild otters with my own eyes in Scotland was the highlight for me.
Filmed and edited by Aaron Cook
Voice of Steph bower
Sound by Jordan Crosse
Animation by Adam Cutts
Aerials by James Ranken and Paul Compton
A special mention to Mary Withall. Her book on Easdale Island helped with the narration.

We used to live here in the late 80s, my mum and dad were driving round scotland, n ended up here, it was dark so needed to park somewhere to sleep, woke up the next morning and fell in love the place, and decided we were going to live there, lived in a big caravan on the seafront, I was only 9, it was magical, been a few times on the train in my later years, 4 trains and 8 hours to get there, great journey and adventure.

On the Memory lane..we spend in 1980 and 1981 three holidays on Easdale Island. At that time there was no museum or Community hall and not many tourists. You could only 2 cottages rent on the islabd, one if them was Port Bage (I dont no if its the right writing). Where we lived. We had a wundervoll time. Away from it all on this unspoild island. Many happy memories...

There's a movie filmed in this location, called Ring of bright water, 1969. About a man who lives in London and buys an otter, but realises he can't bring it up there so moves to Scotland, this is where he moves to. Nice movie.

I was lucky enough to go to an intimate Waterboys gig on Easdale some years ago. They were raising funds to purchase a piano for the recently built hall. It was a magical experience from the short evening ferry crossing to the actual show itself. After getting some autographs we caught the ferry back in the dark. I will never forget it. I used to live in Kilmelford which is just up the road so it was easily accessible. Lovely times spent on Seil and Easdale. Great memories! 😊

Visit the island quite often. Nice little ferry across and lovely walks. The little community pub serves good food and drink so please use it. There are other wonderful delights on the island but I won’t spoil them, if you get the opportunity visit and se them for yourself. Another point of interest is that to get to the island you will cross the only BRIDGE OVER THE ATLANTIC to get there. A little treat all on its own For the technology minded I found that getting a mobile phone signal/data signal on the island was brilliant compared to areas of larger populations.

My history teacher is rolling in his grave "During a night in the 18th century..." 1881 is the 19th century. I think the narrator is just making it up as she went along. It was a storm and one of the quarry walls collapsed not a tidal wave, and it didn't flood them all at once.

These quarry pits are amazing. What is the composition of the water in them? Why is one a lighter blue? Assuming they were dry just before the storm, what has happened to the water which presumably would be sea water rushing in that couldn't escape. How saline is it now? This is definitely a situation ripe for study.

Confusingly the main village on Seil,where the Easdale ferry goes from,is also called Easdale in English so they sometimes use the Gaelic name for one and the English name for the other to avoid confusion.Probably the smallest Scottish marine island I've been to depending which is bigger Easdale or Crammond Island?

@gardnep
@gardnep 3 года назад
Well gunpowder is made of sulphur, saltpetre and carbon. Saltpetre and sulphur are both soluble to greater or lesser extent, carbon is easily washed away so I propose that all components have long gone and buried under tonnes of loose rock, clay, mud and water. So I don’t think from a chemical point of view given the small amount available there will be much effect on the environment.

Looks like an amazing place to live! Whats the internet access like? And why is one of the water filled quarries in this video a different color?

Plenty of beautiful places north Scotland to vanish off to - maybe Scourie?...
