Welcome to Our Island

Isle of Luing Interpretation Project is a series of panels interpreting the Island of Luing (off Oban) in the west coast of Scotland and includes community consultation, illustration, research and artwork.

This project was funded by Scottish Natural Heritage and a number of smaller bodies. The requirement was to produce 12 panels and 2 bronze panoramas. This project was approached in a very flexible and open manner, in that once I visited the island and got a feel for the place, I was able to hold a public meeting and address the issues raised with an informed opinion.

The project brief has been expanded to allow for the provision of around 14 panels placed onto slate plinths - which have been constructed by the local community using local materials. Alongside these panels will be a set of 12 bronze engraved discs so that children visiting the island can collect a set of rubbings of images such as birds, dolphins, mermaids etc.

The latest pictures were taken last (May 2008) on a trip to Oban and Luing. There are still some more pictures to add of the rubbing panels in place and the Island panorama on the hill top.
