Glas
“A masterpiece of the highest order” - Lord Macdonald, High Chief of Clan Donald.
Glas, Scottish Gaelic for “grey”, is a photographic showcase of Scotland’s most iconic island, the Isle of Skye.
Photographed over seventeen years, Glas reveals the dramatic beauty of Skye’s landscape, its tumultuous weather, and the unique charms and quirks that make the island such a special place.
Its twelve themed chapters of black and white images are complemented by the beautiful verse of renowned Gaelic poet Rody Gorman. Written in Scottish Gaelic with English interpretations, Rody paints with his words to enhance the images and bring the Skye to life like never before.
Lord Macdonald, High Chief of Clan Donald, provides the foreword for Glas recounting his own memories of growing up on Skye and describing Glas as “a masterpiece of the highest order”.
By removing colour, the photographs in Glas invite you to look deeper, allowing your imagination to come alive. You can build your own interpretation of what is here, rekindle memories, or simply revel in the beauty and character of Skye.
Glas is a large format 30x30cm (12”x12”) hardback book of 227 pages printed on heavy paper, with accompanying Photographic Index, all within a presentation slip case. A signed 30×30cm print of an image from Glas is included.
Every copy of Glas is individually stamped, numbered and signed by the author. Due to the complexity and cost of printing, print runs are extremely limited at just fifty copies at a time.
