Deilbh Dr Hay : An Island Doctors legacy

Dr John Hay was a highly respected and long-serving GP in Uig and Bernera on the Isle of Lewis from the 1970s to the 1990s. Despite serving a large practice, he managed to create a vast film archive of life in the community. Like many island communities at the time, crofting and fishing were the foundation of daily life and the resulting films and photographs are a priceless record of a changing society and the affection in which Dr Hay was held locally. Photographer Calum Angus Mackay goes in search of John Hay, his archive and the people he captured.
