Separated from Skye by the Sound of Raasay and from Applecross by the Inner Sound, Raasay is a similar size and shape to Manhattan island but with fewer than 200 residents.

It鈥檚 an island where the past is all around - in abandoned villages, a wall built by a notorious landowner to keep islanders confined to the inhospitable northerly tip of the island, and where you can see the most famous route on the island, Calum鈥檚 Road, built by one man who took on the Herculean task of building a road to his village when calls for help from the authorities fell on deaf ears.

After a long period of young islanders having little choice but to leave to find work, the opening of a new distillery on the island has created much needed jobs, enabling young people to return and attracting newcomers to the island. There鈥檚 a feeling of optimism, yet challenges remain. What鈥檚 it like to live and work in Raasay in 2021?
