This is a BBC documentary called the Road to Balnakeil. It apparently dates from 1974.

I have no idea of its' archive status, its' not on lostshows.com (it's a documentary, so it wouldn't be likely), and this thread is just to see if anyone knows anything!

The youtube clips obviously come from a VT, allegedly a domestic one.

The narrator's voice is familiar and makes it sound like it's from something like Horizon or similar. Just a thought.

Wonder if it was regional? Balnakeil is a craft village near Durness.

He used to present The Food Programme on Radio 4. That's possibly why he sounded familiar!
