Thanks Seamusagleann for that I was wondering what became of the Islanders when they left. I hoped it would be covered in the last of the series. It must have been such a major change and the phrase “Culture shock” probably goes nowhere in the reality of how it was when they moved to the mainland.
It has been such an interesting series and the history and insight to the life there, shoulder to shoulder with the wildlife slant has worked so well.
