LAIRG AND THE RIVER SHIN, SCOTLAND, 1970

Lairg is a village and parish in Sutherland, in the area of the Highlands in Scotland. The film begins with footage of the Shin River, that is flowing alongside the Lairg. We can see the many layers of the river which create small waterfalls, as well as the salmons jumping out of the water at these steep spots. Then, after the filmmaker has left Lairg, he reaches the coastal road, where we see two women in a swimsuit οn a boat. Then we follow the coastline while we watch from inside the car. Through some trails we are driven to a deserted place, a characteristic landscape of the Highlands area. Then we meet a herd of sheep, as well as a long-haired cattle, an animal variety that, due to its particular hair growth, it can survive the harsh winters of northern mountainous Scotland.
