BBC – Arnish (2022)
English | Documentary | Size: 671 MB
In 1974, Lewis Offshore opened in Stornoway, producing large steel structures for the offshore oil industry, heralding a boom for the economy and changing the landscape of the Isle of Lewis forever.
With the discovery of oil in the North Sea in the 1970s, a new wave of opportunity sprung forth across the Scottish Highlands and this was a welcome development on the island, where the local economy was struggling.
The development of Arnish began when a Norwegian company enquired about the possibility of a fabrication yard just outside of Stornoway, and since it opened in the mid-70s, it has been part of the landscape and culture of Lewis. It enabled many families to remain and work on the island, gave the local economy a much needed boost, and taught many people new skills that would benefit the community to this day.
We hear memories from those who worked at Arnish, detailing the successful and challenging times they experienced there throughout the years. They also explain the significant impact it had on the town of Stornoway and indeed on the island as a whole.
In Gaelic with English subtitles.
