About 2000 Acres 0f Sky
The BBC comedy/drama '2000 Acres Of Sky'
stars Paul Kaye as Kenny and Michelle Collins, who plays single mother of two, Abby Wallace.
Tired
of how little East London has to offer, Abby responds to an advert for
a family to come and run the local B&B on a Scottish island called
Ronansay, She persuades her best friend Kenny to pretend to be her
husband so the islanders will accept her application. Kenny agrees,
partly because he has been in love with her for years and their on-off
relationship teases viewers throughout.
In reality, actress Michelle Collins and other members of the crew choose to stay at The Waterfront Hotel, while on location in Portpatrick.
Viewers have been
captivated by the natural beauty of the location of Ronansay and have
asked for more information about where the series was filmed and advice
for visiting the area.
The setting for 2000 Acres of Sky was around Portpatrick, on the western coast of Dumfries & Galloway.
'2000 Acres Of Sky' is set amid scenes of unspoiled natural beauty - the region of Dumfries & Galloway, South West Scotland.
