Crofting is a unique agricultural practice passed down generations in this part of Scotland. If you were a part of this community, do you think you would be able to uphold this physically demanding tradition? Why or why not?

We're so happy to hear you enjoyed watching this short film about small-scale agriculture in the Scottish Isles! We love how we can witness the beautiful scenery from Donald's perspective.

As much as I love this, as a local (inner Hebrides) my community has already been so affected by rampant unregulated tourism (thank you Harry potter), so there's parts of my country I'd probably cry if I saw a tour bus arrive in. Big up BBC alba on here!

This is absolutely gorgeous! I was thinking about car trip around Scotland, but now, after that short, I absolutely sure that I will visit this amazing lands! Thank you, NatGeo!

I live there

I learned to love the Scottish accent but my first experience with their articulation was unexpected. A fisherman said "It's me torrn to shucka pun." After much research and queries I discovered that what the fisherman had said was, "It's my turn to shake a pan," meaning it was his turn to cook on the boat that night. Lol.

Life between nature is called Life

I wish I were there now....it's been a while. Having a Scotch on the rocks and reminiscing!😊😍🤗

Much nature, such amaze, very satistying

Still ruled from London...but might as well be a million miles away. Still in my homeland a foreigner rules.

Beautifully shot and told but I have no idea why a person speaking perfectly good English needs to be subtitled. It really takes away from the visuals and is totally unnecessary.

Absolutely - subtitles/closed captions of course are there (and always should be) for the hearing impaired or anyone that needs them. My point was that it would be nice to be able to choose whether to see them or not on screen for those of us who can understand what he is saying as I feel it takes away from the beautiful cinematography and story.

“You feel this land belongs to you” - how very blood and soil of him. Fascism has spread everywhere it seems even the most remotest parts, what they need is a mosque and some African or Middle Eastern immigrants.

When the accent is so strong you have to put subtitles.

beautiful until I remembered that all these cows would be slaughtered :(

You do realise that if those cows where not eaten they would never exist any way I think I would rather have a life and then be eaten than have no life at all plus they have had a better live than any wild cattle remember the have had acsses to supplementary feed and acsses to health care also cattle farmed in that way helps A keep the grass and Heather healthy which allows them to take In carbon from the air and store it in the soil which helps fighte climate change and B helps crate habitats for rare birds including the corn crake

Having experienced both, I can tell you that factory farms and Scottish Highland cattle farming are two completely different worlds. Scottish cattle have the best life possible. Far superior to what a wild auroch would have led. Please go see for yourself.
