Site Works

Written by Robert Davidson

Narrated by Kenny Blyth

On a wind lashed coast in the far north a group of men assemble on a construction site. The Ness and Struie Drainage Project will dominate their lives for the next few months when they will toil through the daylight hours and into the night, endure hardship and conflict, survive or, perhaps, not survive. Within the compound and wayleaves a new, temporary world will form, bounded by sea, mountains and sky. Site Works is the story of the men and their work, transients creating something permanent and greater than they know.
