Trusadh S10E04 - Tiodhlac Ghosta/Gosta's Gift

In 2017 the official opening of Museum nan Eilean and a brand new archive, Tasglann nan Eilean, at Lews Castle generated worldwide publicity. Hundreds of miles away in a small village in Sweden news of the new museum struck a chord with one man in particular. In 1977, the photographer Gosta Sandberg had visited the Western Isles, and took more than 100 photos - striking images of both people and place. Forty years on Gosta decides to head for the Scottish west coast once more, and is joined by young Lewis photographer, Fiona Rennie who shares Gösta's interest in taking pictures of people and place. Gosta and Fiona then retrace his footsteps as they seek to find out more about the people and places he had photographed. Gosta's Gift - a remarkable and moving story of how a unique and striking set of images found their way back to the Western Isles.
