Outlying Islands is a 2002 drama play written by Scottish playwright David Greig.
While all the events and characters in the play are works of fiction, it was inspired by Robert Atkinson's book Island Going.
Together with the stern lease-holder of the island, Mr Kirk, and his young niece Ellen, they are the only inhabitants for the summer.
The play ruthlessly uncovers the motivations of its characters, resulting in a painful triangle between John, Robert and Ellen.
