Hermit’s Castle

Overview

In 1955 David Scott a young architect from Norwich set out on a journey to the extreme north of Scotland. Escaping from the hereditary pressure to become a celebrated architect, Scott found his way to the Assynt peninsula where he set about building a concrete structure on a rocky outcrop. He spent six solid months building the structure only to stay in it for one weekend before he left and never returned. The film is a study of the structure and the surrounding landscape as a psychological portrait of Scott.
