Rust & Sun

July 07, 2025

It’s taken me two years to get around to writing something to go alongside these shots. I’m slowly trying to fill in any gaps in my journal here… dedication to the plan of writing a few words to go with every roll of film I shoot. So here we are, a few summers later, and even a few more trips to the Isle of Raasay later. These were taken on my first day on the little island, during a camping trip to Skye from our then pitch in the Cairngorms, back in 2023.

Raasay is a funny place… I found it to be a super interesting place to photograph. Lots of unused buildings, cars left to rust, forgotten caravans… but with a backdrop of coastal mountain views, single track roads and a surprising amount of trees and woodland. On our more recent visits, we’ve headed out a bit more on foot and found some really lovely leafy parts, which feel like such a huge difference to its larger neighbour, Skye.

I think the bottom photograph, the abandoned building, may have been an old toilet block. I slowly poked my head around one of the doors, and remember seeing that a few sheep had made themselves at home. The caravan next to it, very clearly unused, had a little black lamb sleeping in the shade beside it.
