Synopsis of The Silver Darlings
Set on the rugged north-east coast of Scotland during the 19th Century when farmers were dispossessed of their land and forced to take to the seas as herring fishermen, Catrine (Helen Shingler) is the wife of a herring fisherman, who is press-ganged to join the Royal Navy whilst at sea. Struggling to come to terms with her sudden loss, Catrine meets the charming Roddie (Clifford Evans), a popular man in the fishing community and a favourite of Catrine's young son, Finn, who also wants to become a fisherman.
