Island Roan, Eilean nan Ron
Painting No. 39
Eilean nan Ron - Island of the Seals: 700 acres of heather and rock poised atop 200 ft high cliffs, one mile offshore at the entrance to the Kyle of Tongue. Between 1820 and 1938, this was home to several hardy, God-fearing families, whose houses can still be seen from Skerray. They lived in rugged harmony with the sea, and raised sheep, cattle, and crops - a tough but fulfilling life. Old Betty Macdonald never once left the island in all of her 95 years. Sadly, all the families finally had to leave as the fishing declined and the young men (the island’s future) acquired a taste for a wider world that they discovered during World War I. But here is peace - to live in contentment within the boundaries life has given you, without losing a sense of wonder and fascination for all that lies beyond.
