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.
'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...'
'A passage of kings from cliff to peaty cleft. Mansion, Mosley and Mausoleum. A folly of eiderduck and cormorant' DF 2011
