Travel Guide
The Island of Struay is said to be inspired by the landscape, culture and way of life by real life Arinagour on the Scottish island of Coll in the Inner Hebrides. This is the island where Mairi Hedderwick lived for a number of years and so was inspired by in many many ways.
Later on there was a television adaptation of the books and filming took place on the Isle of Lewis. The remote village of Tolsta Chaolais was one of the places featured.
