Synopsis

A turbulent saga of three generations in the Scottish Highlands. A tale of progress and resistance to change, Highland Corranach opens against the background of Glenmoriston in the mid 19th Century at the time of the sweeping changes in the Scottish Highlands. Clandestine marriage, religious bigotry and the failure of the croft all make their mark on young Alastair who is forced to work in Inverness as a grocery boy and who, eventually, wins a place in the offices of the new railway. The two World Wars also bring many changes in the traditional way of life in the Highlands, with the death of friends and relatives. But in a return to Gaelic language and culture a new future opens up for the Highlanders. In Gaelic the "Corranach" is a lament. It always ends on a note of hope.
