Summer, 1939. With the world on the brink of war, two young naturalists leave Cambridge and venture to a remote Scottish island to conduct a study for the Ministry of Defence. Arriving on the island with its sole inhabitants, the elderly owner and his 19-year-old niece, the scientists soon discover they have been duped and things are not what they seem. Very soon they are drawn into a primaeval world of emotional discovery, sexual passion and murder in a race against time to save the island.
Based on true events, David Greig’s poetic, intense and gripping Outlying Islands is a tale of breath-taking beauty and poignancy packed with moments of pure comedy and mystery.
