Seachd: The Inaccessible Pinnacle is a 2007 Scottish Gaelic-language Scottish fantasy drama film by first-time director, Simon Miller from a story by Simon Miller and Joanne Cockwell. It stars Patrick Morrison/Pàdruig Moireasdan and acclaimed Gaelic magical realist poet and writer Angus Peter Campbell/Aonghas Pàdraig Chaimbeul in the role of the Grandfather. Toby Robertson, Meg Bateman, and Kathleen MacInnes also appear in supporting roles. It is the first feature-length film in the Scottish Gaelic language[1] and was a remade and expanded from a previous short film, Foighidinn - The Crimson Snowdrop, also directed by Miller.[2]
Filming began in April 2006 around the Inaccessible Pinnacle at the top of Sgùrr Dearg in the Cuillin mountains on the Isle of Skye in the Hebrides of Scotland, and was completed in August 2006. The film screened at the Celtic Media Festival in March 2007,[3] and made its world premiere at the 61st Edinburgh International Film Festival in August 2007.[1]
The word seachd (Scottish Gaelic pronunciation: [ʃaxk]) in the title means "seven" and references the number of stories the grandfather originally told.[1]
