The Isle of Rust, also known as Lewis and Harris, is a unique and captivating destination that has been explored by writer, journalist, and film-maker Jonathan Meades and photographer Alex Boyd. A decade after Meades' landmark series "Off Kilter," described by The Telegraph as a masterpiece, Boyd returns to the island to spend two years documenting its stunning landscapes. The Outer Hebrides, a strange and sometimes rusty paradise, offer a unique blend of rugged and austere beauty, with bays, mountains, and moorland shacks. Meades' insightful observations and explorations of the island provide a deeper understanding of its unique character, while Boyd's photography captures the essence of the place, from the bays and mountains of Harris to the moorland shacks of Lewis. The island's chasmic gulf between the naturally evolved and the negligently created, between Scarp and scrap, between the sublime and the substandard, is what makes it so remarkable. The combination of Meades' writing and Boyd's photography creates a compelling and immersive experience that leaves the reader or viewer with a lasting impression of the island's unique charm.
