Where once the grain fields of Iona stretch across its back
Boswell collects yellow periwinkles on the sands
The Third Reich swarms east and west
And two sisters carve swastikas and sickles on the panes
Made famous by Boswell and Johnson on their Hebridean Tour in 1773, Inch Kenneth later became the family home of the Mitford sisters. As the Nazis swept across Europe one sister Unity wrote letters to Hitler, Diana married Mosley and later, as eventual inheritor, Jesica promised to turn the island into a Soviet Submarine base.
This was the 2010 pilot to a residency on the island in 2011 with the Artists Collective 6°W
A passage of kings
from cliff to peaty cleft
Mansion, Mosley and Mausoleum
A folly of eiderduck and cormorant
