This Is Glencoe in the Highlands of Scotland I visited on 13th February 2022 the date is significant as its 330 years to the day that the Glencoe Massacre took place on the 13th February 1692. An estimated 30 members and associates of Clan MacDonald of Glencoe were killed by Scottish government forces, allegedly for failing to pledge allegiance to the new monarchs, William III and Mary II.

This particular spot is called Ralstone Memorial and built in memory of Ralston Claud Muir, who died at the age of 32. He loved to climb in the glen his family spread his ashes in this spot and left a plaque dedicated to Ralston it reads 'these are my mountains and I have come home".

I was guided to visit and make some work walking around the glen which has some outstanding natural beauty. I was first captivated by Glencoe whilst travelling through to the Isle of Sky in 1999 and vowed to return some day with my camera. This is a special place although this work is of nature in the landscape I still feel that this is a documentary piece. I made this artwork as it was presented to me. I hope you feel that this work is divine as I felt whilst making it. The images are all made with a 24 mm or 50 mm fixed lenses I walked for miles that day and then drove home for seven hours, I think it was worth it though. Enjoy Simon Bolton
