The Isle of Skye in Glass: Fairy Pools, Cuillin & Storr

A minimalist art print featuring a white textured silhouette map of An t-Eilean Sgitheanach, also known as The Misty Isle.

Four Engravings. One Extraordinary Island.

Some places are remembered for a single landmark. The Isle of Skye is remembered for a succession of them.

The roads twist between mountains and sea, each corner revealing another view that seems somehow more dramatic than the last. Waterfalls tumble into crystal clear pools, ancient rock pinnacles rise above the landscape and the jagged skyline of the Black Cuillin dominates the horizon.

These four engraved designs explore different parts of Skye, each capturing a place that has become part of the island's identity.

The Fairy Pools

Fed by streams descending from the Black Cuillin, the Fairy Pools have become one of Scotland's most photographed landscapes. The clear water, natural rock formations and surrounding mountains create a scene that feels almost unreal.

The design combines the waterfalls, reflections in the pools and mountain forms beyond.

The Old Man of Storr

Standing high above the Trotternish Ridge, the Old Man of Storr has become one of Scotland's defining landmarks.

The design centres on the scale and distinctive silhouette of the rock formation.

The Black Cuillin

Few mountain ranges in Britain possess the character of the Black Cuillin.

Their dark gabbro ridges, steep corries and serrated skyline have earned an international reputation among mountaineers. Even viewed from a distance, the range conveys a sense of permanence and scale that defines much of Skye's landscape.

The serrated ridge forms the principal line of the engraving.

The Inaccessible Pinnacle

Known simply as the In Pinn, this remarkable blade of rock is unique among Scotland's Munros.

For many climbers it represents the culmination of years spent in the mountains. Reaching its summit demands confidence, commitment and a head for exposure.

The engraving follows the pinnacle's narrow, exposed profile.

A Landscape That Stays With You

The four designs bring together different forms of Skye's landscape: falling water, isolated pinnacles and mountain ridges.

Some of my own most memorable wildlife encounters happened there too. My first sea otter appeared unexpectedly while swimming around one of Skye's castles, and it was also where I first saw dolphins in the wild. Those moments remain inseparable from the island itself. Like the mountains and waterfalls, they become part of the memories people take home.

Each design is prepared for its glass form and sandblast engraved in the Fife studio.
