SULA is the old Norse name for the Gannet, the largest seabird in Northern Europe. As graceful soaring above the waves as they are swimming far beneath them, Gannets find strength by gathering together in close knit communities on isolated windswept outposts and perfectly embody Dàimh’s enduring connection to the Hebrides and their surrounding waters.
Recorded on the island of Bernera off the wild west coast of Lewis during a dark and stormy December, SULA captures the Gaelic supergroup Dàimh doing what they do best in their natural environment.
