As a bit of trivia, '10,000 Acres of Skye' was filmed on Raasay, which is across from Skye, & has nothing to do with Raasay in that it is geographically seperated by water...deep water. Skye in turn, is also larger than 10,000 acres. It wobbled our thoughts deep into the night. What could they mean? So after much debate, we concluded that by '10,000 acres of Skye' they must have cryptically meant Raasay. But it was a flawed conclusion since everyone here knows that Raasay is about 15,360 acres all in. Enter Donald.
This would imply that whole island bar 5,360 acres was now under the control of white settlers in the form of a strumpet & a goofy musician. Donald was unyielding in his stance, that it didnt logically follow as a possible scenario, since, the Raasay Hotel gardens & prisoner-of-war camp aside, after a few drams, 5,360 acres is about the size of his subsistence farming outlet. Ergo, given that the other 10,000 acres were spoken for, it would leave nowhere for him to park his tractor - which simply wasn't going to happen.
A crisis was averted. He was right of course & to prove there was plenty of remaining acreage for the locals, Donald drove his tractor everwhere around the island, at speed & on Sundays, without reprisal; often helping film crews into the loch by taking corners to fast. Directors & television stars merrily gestured to Donald everywhere he went, & indeed, Donald gestured back.
So in short, they should have called it 'A Couple of Feet of Raasay' or 'Kicking about in Inverarish' or 'The Nutter of Osgaig'

I lay preference in relaying the harmless late night rambling stories of inebriated & retired old islanders over writing 'A tv series filmed near an ugly ferry terminal'. If you drop onto Raasay it's stuff of legends, as is the night they chased a monster whale off the shores Rona, the MV Stardust in hot pursuit, Cowie of Acarseid Mhor at the helm. It raises a broader smile, than saying a naval sub scared them shitless...which, they'd never admit anyway.
