Seachd - The Inaccessible Pinnacle will be released on DVD on 25th February 2008.

When a young man, Angus, visits his dying Grandfather in hospital he cannot hold back his boyhood quest for the truth - the truth behind the death of his parents and the truth behind his Grandfather’s ancient, incredible, fearful stories.

His Grandfather has saved the best story for last and leads Angus for the last time to one of Scotland’s most treacherous mountains, The Inaccessible Pinnacle, and an ancient truth he never expected to find.
