Our Tiny Islands Channel 4 - My appearance On The Show

Our Tiny Islands - Lisa McQueenie

After 3 days of preparation and shooting footage, this is the result!!

Our Tiny Islands is a program shown on More 4 (Channel 4) and features the smallest Islands around the UK and the people who make their surroundings work for them and their communities around them.

Lisa McQueenie was approached with a strong interest in her art, and more importantly, the processes involved with her art and her collection of materials such as driftwood.

So, the dates were agreed, the site visit organised and the work began…

Richard and Jamie turned up on Easdale Island with their equipment and 2 days work began following Lisa McQueenie around Easdale Island talking about the Island, the treasures of the Island and the beautiful life that Lisa has made for herself.

There are scenes with Lisa collecting from the slate beaches, Lisa making her replica Easdale Island Cottages, and taking Richard and Jamie for a tour around the Island.

Here’s Lisa’s appearance on Our Tiny Islands - just over 6 minutes

The drone footage of Easdale is beautiful and thankfully the weather held!!

At any time, Easdale Island usually has around 45-60 residents at anytime depending on the season. There are around 8 holiday homes on Easdale so the resident core population can be around 45.

There are no roads on the Island as Lisa points out when she explains the wheelbarrow park instead of car park!

What do you think to Lisa’s Easdale Island Cottages? You can see the finished articles by clicking here, they are Lisa’s best sellers and the tourists to Easdale Island love taking home a piece of Easdale and it’s charm.
