It premièred on 8 July 1962. It was later adapted for radio, which was transmitted in 1969. It was set on the Outer Hebridean island of Benbecula, though the majority of the series was filmed on South Uist.{{Citation needed|date=April 2007}} PlotThe plot involves the discovery of a mysterious torpedo found on the shore of Benbecula. A Naval team descends on the area to deal with the torpedo accompanied by Nicolson, an intrigued security officer. Further investigation of the torpedo reveals an international spy kit, the contents of which include a Finnish passport, British and Swedish currency, and most intriguing of all, a fragment of sheet music. Nicolson is joined by fellow security operative Grant, and together they investigate the sudden appearance of the torpedo. Their investigations meet with resistance from the locals, and when their investigations lead to a murder, it becomes apparent that someone is trying to conceal something sinister. As Nicolson comes close to learning the truth, he is lured into a trap and is injured. When he comes to, he discovers that Grant has been murdered and he endeavours to find the people responsible. He eventually uncovers an elaborate espionage operation. Cast
ThemeWhile the show is no longer seen, the theme tune remains a favourite with Scottish musicians, mostly accordionists and pipers. This beautiful air was originally called "Dr Mackay's Farewell to Creagorry" by its composer, Iain MacLachlan about 1958. David Silver of Glasgow wrote the most common and famous words to the theme after the TV series appeared. Another set of lyrics were written by Stewart Ross of Inverness and are also quite well known, having been recorded by Calum and Fiona Kennedy as well as Daniel O' Donnell. Both sets of lyrics were published in 1963. Episode statusAs of 2009, no episodes of The Dark Island have survived in the BBC archives; they were most likely wiped in the 1970s. The entire 1969 radio series however does still exist, and can be found at various internet sources, usually under the banner "Old Time Radio". External links
