My sister and I were wondering where to go in Scotland on our next visit, and after seeing this film on PBS’ Nature program recently, we are are now planning to visit Mull next summer! We love Scotland and this looks like it will be one of our best visits ever. Gordon Buchanan did a wonderful job on the film. His joy and enthusiasm made the experience all the more enjoyable. Cracker!

Your film was not only beautiful, artistically speaking, it was breathtakingly informative. Not only your photography which was prompted by your love of country and nature, but whoever did the music, enconium to them.
Thank you.
God’s creation, captured in a superb, artistic way.
Keep your family safe and consider it a treasure.
Lisa Boyd.

I have to “ditto” all the good comments by others. What more can one say for such an outstanding glimpse into the Eagle’s nest, all the water animals, all the land creatures along the way. A veritable feast. It was great fun watching Mr. Buchanan’s facial features which seemed to me to be spontaneous and natural. Without his presence it is less of a documentary. I probably have to wait for my next
life to visit Scotland but knowing I have Scottish blood is a consolation.

Thank you Gordon for sharing your home with us. Best wishes to you and your family. Was the opening filmed in a tavern in Tobermory? I think I recognize the hearth.

Thanks to Nature for presenting this great show. It was spectacular in HD!

Oh man! It was pretty good actualy! I usually don’t like the episodes with people, but this was one of the better ones! I like Scotland, and I liked the wildlife and habitat, especially all the sea creatures! I gave it a 4 out of 5! I have a question about the Basking Sharks! Are their mouths like stuck open or something?

I was transfixed. Having visited Mull, I was transported back, and now long to go again. Beautiful film, and Mr. Buchanan made it very special by his personal comments, having grown up there. I think this is a film I’d definitely like to own. I was sorry to see it end!

What a ruggedly beautiful part of the world to see. What would it be like to live year round on this island with the long winter nights and harsh weather conditions? People who are born in places like this usually want to escape the isolation and lack of modern facilities and mininmal job opportunities. If anyone needs to ” get away from it all” this may be a spledid alternative choice for a few weeks or a month. Enjoy the scenery and wildlife and revel in the quiet and solitude.
