Hebridean Horizons

 

Hebridean Horizons is a photographic tribute to the Scottish landscape and the Gaelic language. Each panoramic print depicts a 360º view from a hilltop or mountain on the west coast and highlights important landmarks in Gaelic.

The photographs have a timeless appearance and monumental character, yet each panorama captures a unique moment in time by depicting the dramatic weather changes typical of the Hebridean Islands. Gaelic is profoundly connected with land and sea and by learning its place names, we are drawn deeper into this majestic world.
