Delighted to have the new Scottish Islands print in from Rebecca J Kaye // Artist + Maker. Shown here beautifully framed by the designer Becky. The image she has cleverly created charts the highest point on the largest 55 Scottish Islands. Using data from the highest point on the largest 55 Scottish Islands, the profile of each Island maps the summits on each Island. The two islands on the left represent the Hebrides, with the left hand side of each Island mapping the Outer Hebrides and the right hand side mapping the Inner Hebrides. The island on the right illustrates the Northern Isles with the summits in Orkney mapped on the left hand side and Shetland on the right hand side. The gaps in the sea chart the same data from North to South, top to bottom.

Such a popular product. Our pop up prints from Becky Rebecca J Kaye // Artist + Maker which cover a range of subjects with bite size chunks of data points. These can be displayed as free standing images with a clever "pop up" fold out design or fold down to frame.

The reverse of each print details the story behind the image.

Here we have the newest Scottish islands design. Currently on re order.
