Men on a boat preparing to return home from Sula Sgeir, a rocky island 50 miles west of Lewis, Scotland, in the North Atlantic. The men of Ness clean and prepare for cooking guga from their harvest of young gannets. Sula Sgeir is inhabitated only by sea birds except for 2 weeks each year when men from the village of Ness in Lewis arrive to cull 2,000 young gannets known as guga.
