Seachd: The Inaccessible Pinnacle
Seachd: The Inaccessible Pinnacle is the first
feature film in Scottish Gaelic. It is a film from the Scottish
Gaelic community starring local Gaelic-speaking actors from the
Highlands and Isles and was filmed entirely on the Isle of Skye
(An t-Eilean Sgitheanach) off the West Coast of Scotland.
Seachd is not a Hollywood film. The film was shot across just 25
days on a tiny budget, but it is a film with a big heart and it
represents the lives of people living in a part of the world
that has yet to be shown on the big screen.
The soundtrack to Seachd features some of Gaeldom's greatest
living vocalists and musicians - and ancient Gaelic instruments
such as the Carnyx (Celtic battle horn), the metal strung
Clàrsach (Gaelic harp) and the triplepipes (the predecessor of
the bagpipes).
The Story
Là n fhìrinn na sgeòil - The truth is
in the story.
When a young man, Angus, visits his dying Grandfather in
hospital he cannot hold back his boyhood quest for the truth -
the truth behind the death of his parents and the truth behind
his Grandfather's ancient, incredible, fearful stories. Stories
from the whole swathe of Gaelic history of poisoned lovers,
bloody revenge, water-horses and Spanish gold. His Grandfather
hijacks Angus' life for one last time leading him to one of
Scotland's most treacherous mountains, The Inaccessible Pinnacle
on the Isle of Skye, and an ancient truth he never expected to
find. Seachd:
The Inaccessible Pinnacle is the first
Scottish Gaelic feature film.
