The West Highland Highway

by Kate Davies

Language: English

Kate Davies and Tom Barr live on Scotland's most popular long distance hiking trail: the West Highland Way.

In this creative project, they celebrate their home, their workplace and the landscape that inspires them every day. Kate began creating a collection of twelve hand-knitted designs, each with its own distinctive story.

There is a tweedy cardigan reminiscent of Conic Hill or a delicate sweater that is associated with a favorite plant found on Rannoch Moor. Each design is linked to an essay that puts Kate's designs and inspiration into a larger context.

From Rob Roy's romantic portrayal to the beautiful songs of Donnchadh Bén; From Loch Lomonds to Rannoch Moor, Kate's writing reveals the West Highland Way as primarily a social landscape with an important cultural history. Kate's words and designs are accompanied by Tom's stunning photography depicting the West Highland Way in all seasons.
