an excellent film for those who simply need to switch off and enjoy the beautiful scenery of scotland . base on fact and the film take you on a journey of love amidst spectacular scenery . the cast be wouldressed down for the part they play and so no glamorous costume or coiffure hair in this film where acting be superb and gritty and down to earth . each character be believable give a convincing portrayal of island life and belief and culture of the time a definite for those who have even the tiny drop of scottish blood . a it will tug at the heart string and stir the soul . something that can be share with the family and watched time and time again . a real classic and one that i be sure will walk alongside some of the great film that never die .
