Foula No Go

A full account from the news portal, Shetland Daily, indicates just how easy it is for things to go wrong in a place where difficulties are not uncommon.

Michael Powell's impressive film The Edge of the World (1937) which loosely concerned the abandonment of St Kilda, was entirely filmed on Foula.
