INTERVIEWS
Alastair Chisholm
Cathedral of the Isles
Alastair used to visit Cumbrae as a child on holiday. As an undergraduate he sang in Glasgow University Chapel Choir, and when he came to Cumbrae to teach music he offered to play the organ in the Cathedral of the Isles in return for accommodation in the adjacent college residence. The college was originally built for trainee Episcopal clergy but today is used as a guest house, accommodating conferences and retreats as well as providing dinner, bed and breakfast. Alistair’s friendship and respect for Dean Douglas over time led him to reconsider his atheism and to find that he had begun to have a faith.
The Cathedral today accommodates Cumbrae’s Episcopal congregation, and hosts musical concerts. -
Mary and Tony Spencer
Mary Spencer and her husband Tony moved from Kent to Bute after many years of taking family holidays on the island. Tony is an instrumental music teacher and now church organist, and Mary is a primary teacher. Music heard during the interview was recorded in Rothesay Joint Campus, and featured the primary school choir singing When the Saints Go Marching In and the secondary school swing band performing I Don’t Know How to Love Him. Mary was interviewed in the school’s community garden which was built in collaboration with the BBC Scotland programme The Beechgrove Garden.

Caroline and Jenna Spiers
Calum Spiers died of brain cancer two years ago, aged 12 years old. Caroline and Jenna, Calum’s mother and twin sister talk about Calum’s decision to set them a task of creating a space where families of children with terminal cancer can go to relax, be peaceful and have time to create memories. Together they built Calum’s Cabin, a holiday home in Calum’s memory. Its annual running costs are supported by donations and by a busy charity shop in the island’s capital, Rothesay.

LOCATIONS
Bute’s pre-eminent tourist attraction, Mount Stuart, is the island home of the Marquess of Bute. Originally built during the reign of Queen Anne, the house was rebuilt in 1877 after a fire and today stands as a prime example of Britain’s 19th Century Gothic Revival. The building and gardens are open to the public from May to September. Filming in the house was by kind permission of John Bute and the Mount Stuart Trust, Isle of Bute.
Built in the 13th century, Rothesay Castle began its life as a seafront castle, situated only 75 yards from the sea. However, between 1839 and 1840, the shoreline was extended and an esplanade and two streets were added to the town. The castle now sits behind a wall of buildings and can barely be seen from the sea.
Rothesay Castle and St Blane’s are both in the care of Historic Scotland, who kindly granted permission to film.
Travel between the West Coast mainland and Great Cumbrae and Bute is on Caldeonian MacBrayne ferries. -
