He has been visiting Millport and the Isle of Cumbrae annually since he was a baby and continues to visit year on year with friends and his own grown-up family.

Many people have a deep running affection for the Isle of Cumbrae and Millport. You might have experienced the thrill of island adventures with friends and lovers, a quick escape here warping and stretching time. For others, the attachment is tied up with memories of visits with and to family. Connections to this wee and perfect island are plentiful and often yearned for, frequently repeated and revisited, the echo of an echo of an echo.
“Anthropology in action: unseen images of northern tribes, a people, their place, the relationships between people and time; and this place is dreaming.”
