http://movingimage.nls.uk/film/3701 - "A picture of East Sutherland in 1966" made by Orkney director Margaret Tait (also /movie_103845-Blue-Black-Permanent.html ). Seems filmed mostly around Helmsdale, although footage is deliberately non-specific and might have segments from Lairg and Brora. Very slow 40-minute film with some long tedious sequences which get boring. All the coach etc pictures posted by Kudos are in first couple of minutes and I think I recognise the spot on the A9 just south of Helmsdale. There's a batch of several sheep transport trucks for a couple of minutes after 10-40 and a couple more coaches and a truck at 32-60 - I can never get good captures off NLS videos so won't try to add them. I found an appallingly bad 2013 remake by someone who clearly can't operate a camera or edit footage - "Air Sgàth Margaret Tait - For the Sake of … (or Caora Bheag - The Wee Sheep)" - https://vimeo.com/81336271 . Even calling it an "arts project" is no excuse. Again filmed in Helmsdale, plus some footage near the end in Rendall on Orkney - presumably Margaret Tait before she died in 1999 and her home in a converted chapel, but this is not explained at all. Has lots of modern livestock and other trucks scattered through if anyone's desperate to capture them. I'm not. |
