Living on Foula | One of Britain's Most Isolated Islands | 4K

Twenty miles off the coast of Shetland, on an island so remote it is often mistaken from a distance for an iceberg, roughly thirty people are living by a calendar the rest of the United Kingdom abandoned nearly three centuries ago. In this episode of The Map, we explore Foula, Scotland's own edge of the world: the journey to reach it, the astonishing cliffs that rise directly from the sea, the sheep found nowhere else on Earth, and the real reason a tiny island community has spent generations quietly refusing to fully join the modern calendar everyone else lives by.
