Swona - Memorial to a lost way of life
The island of Swona was vacated in 1974. The cattle remained and have been classified as a feral herd. This video gives a brief history of the island since neolithic times and shows how the cattle have adapted to the conditions over the past thirty years. Filmed by John Findlay Additional photography by Peter Rowlands and Lindsay Reid Edited by Peter Rowlands and John Findlay Commentary by Graham Garson Commentary recorded by Phil Anderson of Storm Sound Produced by PR Productions Directed by John Findlay
