“Foula was chosen in 1936 as the scene for Michael Powell's film The Edge of the World, which depicts the tragedy of such islands with their dwindling populations. Much amusement was caused when mainland newspapers showed banner headlines describing the 'desperate plight' of the cast, cut off by storm for three weeks on the island. To the inhabitants this was a very normal occurance.”
