Notes for parents and teachers about a study of transport in the Hebrides.
This study of transport on small islands concentrates on the Western Isles of Scotland.
Young people from the islands of Skye, Barra and the Uist chain look at transport problems on small, remote islands as we see them travel by road, sea and air.
Three other videos explore wider issues of transport on the Galapagos Islands, Ulva and Tristan da Cuhna.
The study encourages pupils to consider:
• the kinds of transport the Hebrides and other small islands have in common
• the different kinds of transport used all over the world
• the problems associated with transport on small islands
• how transport affects the lives of the people on the islands
• the effect transport has on their lives
• the transport problems where they live.
