Premiere
Our local film last night back story.
Way back on the 26th December 1900, a small ship made its way to the Flannan Islands in the remote Outer Hebrides.
300 miles north of were the film was made.
It's destination was the lighthouse at Eilean Mor, a remote island which (apart from its lighthouse keepers was completely uninhabited.) The keepers had mysteriously disappeared hence the roots of the film story.
The island is named after St. Flannen, a 6th century Irish Bishop who built a chapel on the island and for centuries shepherds used to bring over sheep to the island to graze.
Some of you may know one of the films stars Peter Mullan playing the much gentler role of Michael with Lesley Manville as Cathy in the tender sitcom Mum
