New 'Islands of Scotland' DVD reviewed by Melanie Reid of The Herald Tall women also haunted Scottish Television's new Gaelic series celebrating the beauty of Scotland's islands, using aerial photography. Eigg , we learnt, means the island of tall women, so named after five sisters who lived there many centuries ago, all more than 6ft tall. If nothing else, these programmes would make you want to be a helicopter pilot, swooping and skimming in dreamlike sequences right up the West Coast. Eigg, Rum, Muck, Canna, Sanday, Skye. This was the Scotland of fantasy; the eagle's eye view: where the sun always shone, the deer were always stirring, the poetry always swelling. If it seemed a Scotland too removed from reality, it nevertheless mesmerised. The sense of detachment was added to by John Carmichael's Gaelic script, which was simultaneously lyrical and lost in translation, a bit like pibroch to the uneducated ear. Click here for details
