Creel of Stories (Cliabh an t-Seanachais)

For generations, fishing has been at the heart of the communities of South West Mull and Iona; from supporting subsistence living on crofts, through the heyday of the industry and into the present day, when it is still the primary livelihood for many individuals and families. The stories of fishing are told and retold: the knowledge of the sea and weather signs, the tall tales of misadventure are passed on, but not often recorded. Cliabh an t-Seanachais, created in collaboration with Alasdair Satchel of Struthach Films, will celebrate our fishing stories and the place of the fishing industry in the fabric of our local area.
