Young Gaelic writers consider the possible reintroduction of extinct species into the Highlands.

An EU directive states that animal species once indigenous to, but now extinct from, rural regions of Europe should be reintroduced wherever possible. It's led to a great deal of debate about what is in line for a comeback to the Scottish Highlands.

Tearlach Quinnell assesses the impact of two initiatives on Mull: reintroducing the sea eagle and reviving a previously indigenous language at the Gaelic medium unit of Salen Primary School. He also celebrates the sea eagle with a specially written Gaelic song that is performed in the film by his friend, Griogair Labhruidh.
