EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white portrait captures the spirit of Mary MacDonald, a cherished elder of the Uist community in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland, taken in the late 1980s. Mary, now deceased, is shown in her humble yet quintessential crofting cottage, or 'Black House,' which is a traditional dwelling common to the region. The image portrays Mary's resilience and connection to her land, as she sits before a simple fireplace, her hands resting on a worn, knitted shawl. The walls of her home, adorned with peat and woven mats, reflect the rugged beauty of the Hebridean landscape. Mary's expressive eyes convey a sense of wisdom and strength, reflecting the rich history and traditions of her people. The photograph, taken by renowned Scottish photographer Philip Dunn, offers a poignant glimpse into the life of a remarkable woman and the enduring culture of the Outer Hebrides.
