International prize for Gaelic thriller An t-Eilean
A £4 million crime thriller that was the biggest Gaelic drama series in BBC Alba's history has won a top award.
The channel commissioned the four-part series An t-Eilean (The Island) which was filmed in the elemental landscape of Lewis and Harris in the Outer Hebrides and also in Glasgow.
The Gaelic noir whodunnit, which gripped audiences and was popular on network TV, has won the drama and entertainment prize at Prix Circom 2025, the international television awards.
Judges from 15 European regional public service broadcasters selected the winner. The award will be presented during a ceremony at the Circom annual conference in Barcelona on May 22.
