Along the west coast of Scotland lies a chain of island communities where fishing and farming have been a way of life for thousands of years. 

In securing the future of these islands through providing reliable electricity, engineers and archaeologists are looking to the past to ensure that the rich history is not lost. 

Replacing substations and cable connections also means preserving ancient artefacts, recording local historical experiences and protecting the environment for generations to come.
