An t-Eilean: £1m-an-episode drama to bring Outer Hebrides to global audience

Filming begins on the most expensive Scots Gaelic series ever made but there is wider crisis in Gaelic broadcasting

The tranquility of a remote castle in the Outer Hebrides, with its views of long golden beaches, rocky coasts and glowering skies, is about to be shattered by the staging of a woman’s murder.

Detectives will fly in from Inverness. The drama will catapult the castle and this secluded Gaelic-speaking corner of Harris to a global audience, as a dysfunctional family’s long-buried secrets emerge.
