The brief was to show the uniqueness of the newly awarded Dark Sky park in Galloway
Forest.
!
It was integrated into the Forestry Commissions Social Media campaign where it gained
10K views. It was syndicated on over a 100 travel blogs and by Visit Scotland.
!
Of those shares the Sunday Times and Guardian Travel wrote articles based around the
film and Dark Sky parks. It went on to be used as part of a European documentary that
went out across Germany and Austria and was most recently used in Ray Mears Wild
Britain.
!
The real and most important result is in the past two years tourism to the dark sky parks has
more than doubled.
