Open 7 days, 10am – 6pm
Fàilte air ais Ruaraidh chòir! Welcome back Derek!

With Gallery An Talla Dearg having been closed all year, we have missed all of our artists. It’s always lovely to catch a five minute blether with them as we all go about our day at Eilean Iarmain. We have been featuring each artist both here on our website, and on our Facebook page, throughout the summer and we hope you have enjoyed seeing their work and learning a little about them and their inspirations and influences.

Pam Carter would have been exhibiting between 18th July and 7th September. Her arrival and opening always creates a buzz and we have really missed her this year. However, Pam has set up her own online exhibition called The Skye Exhibition 2020 and we hope you enjoy it as much as we have:

I am inspired to paint by the wildlife and landscape of Scotland. My subjects vary from the wilds of the Hebrides to quiet corners of the garden, I hope my work captures the essence of the natural world.

In the field I paint colour studies, take photographs and just quietly observe. I then take time to think about how a composition can be developed that reflects what I have seen, generally this is a slow evolution, although sometimes the whole picture comes in a moment. Having carefully planned a new work I often find that once I have started the painting will lead me in unexpected directions. I paint with commonly used materials and a traditional palette of oil colours. My work is representational but I’m not trying for photographic detail, I try to evoke the feeling of the moment either seen or imagined. It’s all about light transmitted and reflected and never more so than when painting water, a subject I come back to time and time again as I have always had connections with the sea.

I live in Kyle of Lochalsh with wonderful scenery and wildlife awaiting in whichever direction I set off.

We continue to do our very best to ensure the health and safety of all staff and guests. We are working with Clear Skye Pest Prevention who are on site every day using their “fogging” machine: each bedroom is being treated using their certified virucidal cleaner which is non-hazardous and non-toxic. This is applied using a fogging machine that ensures the entire room is disinfected. Treatments are carried out twice each day: once, following check out of guests, and then again after our housekeeping team have undertaken their enhanced cleaning schedule so that each room is spotless, ready for guests to check in and begin their stay safe in confidence leaving them able to relax and enjoy this special place.
All public areas are also subject to daily fogging and an enhanced cleaning programme.

We are certified as “We’re Good to Go” meaning that we have implemented all the guidelines necessary to ensure that we are protecting the health and safety of staff and customers as best as we possible can.

“The Highlands and Island of the West Coast of Scotland have been my source of inspiration since 1988.
These rugged landscapes and seascapes, continually enhanced by the seasons and the weather, offer me a wealth of creative possibilities.
The coruscating light on water, juxtaposed with the deep, rich tones of a shadow are the things that I seek out and try to capture in my work.
The kaleidoscope of seasonal colour and light stimulate my artistic expression, which I capture in soft Pastel or mixed Media.”

The health and safety of all our guests, visitors and staff – and indeed the wider community on Skye – remains paramount and we are following government guidelines to ensure we provide the best guest experience we can, whilst keeping everyone safe, healthy and happy.
