Our Lives

Sink or Skim

The World Stone Skimming Championship is held on the tiny west coast island of Easdale, an island blessed with millions of perfect skimming stones after its slate mining industrial past was brought to an abrupt end by a huge storm. Water filled the immense quarries and created the world's first stone skimming arena. The competition has always been, and is to this day, a community fundraising event, but tensions are now mounting between the small island community and the skimmers.
