Lion Mor - The Great Line (clip)

Clip from a documentary about the construction of a fish drying factory at Breasclete in Lewis. The documentary focuses on the potential for the fishing industry in the Atlantic Ocean and on schoolwork carried out by local schoolchildren on the factory and fishing . The clip opens with shots of standing stones at Callanish before moving on to footage of ground clearing and construction of the new factory and pier. We are then shown a classroom at Breasclete Primary School where pupils are working on the school newspaper - the 'Lion Mor'. A close up shot shows articles from the newspaper relating to the factory development. We return to the building site and see concrete pouring and cranes lifting beams into place. The pupils of Breasclete are then shown researching artifacts no longer in use, such as an agricultural reaper. At Lews Castle College in Stornoway we see a Marine Studies class instructed in the use of equipment to plot the positions of ships. The final images show fishing vessels at sea, including the Peterhead registered "Shemara". Fishermen and cranes haul in nets and a catch is emptied.
