On the Fishing Banks of Skye (1935)

Sadly, very little is known about this title. It is thought that this was the last film to be actively directed by Grierson and as it was based on a subject so close to his heart, it is wholly appropriate that he narrates the film himself with a free-running unscripted commentary. It does not appear to be made up from left-over footage from either Drifters or Granton Trawler and therefore seems to indicate that a separate shooting trip had been carried out.
