Harris Tweed, 1994
I visited Harris and Lewis to take these photographs on assignment for a Scottish Sunday newspaper supplement magazine. I was accompanying a very talented writer and journalist Euan Ferguson, who sadly is no longer with us. We criss-crossed the islands meeting crofters and those in the tweed industry, gaining insight into the then current challenges they faced in marketing and selling their world-renowned product.
As we left one mill, Euan and I were taken to the store rooms, and told, “choose any tweed you want, any colour. And we’ll give you each 5-metres worth, enough to make yourselves a jacket.” Years later I got that jacket made, and still wear it with pride, a lovely memory of my visit to the islands and of the beauty of Harris Tweed.
Since these images were published in a magazine in 1992, they have never been republished nor exhibited. This zine give them new life for the first time in over 30-years.
