Congratulations on the release of The Outrun. ⁣⁣

Amy’s words will resonate with anyone who has sought solace in the wild and her story is a profound testament to the restorative and healing power of nature.⁣
⁣
We were lucky to have Amy lead our first writing retreat in 2017, exploring creative writing and storytelling whilst immersed in the beautiful wilderness of Eilean Shona. ⁣
⁣
We always keep our little island shop stocked with copies of The Outrun, what better place to journey through a memoir of nature and recovery…⁣

To stay on Eilean Shona is an escape from the real world to a place governed by tide, by weather, by nature. Perhaps this is the real world? Island magic captured by photographer Jenna Alexandra Smith

The view from Red Cottage is perhaps the finest on Eilean Shona, you could happily spend all day watching the light dance on the loch and the weather blow by. This year’s sculptor in residence spent the month of March in Red Cottage, immersed in nature and creating beautiful works inspired by the island. He captured the many moods of Loch Moidart during his stay - thank you!
