Inspired by Islay by Kate Davies
In this stunning collection, Kate takes inspiration from Islay’s landscape to create 12 new designs.

Gordon Yates introduces Islay’s wildlife; Anna MacQuarrie explores the important legacy of Gaelic in the island landscape; Jane Hunter explores Islay’s geology through the intriguing medium of tweed and stitches; and Susan Campbell tells us more about the island’s handcrafts.
