BY ALEX BOYD

LUATH PRESS LTD £15.00 & £20.00

★★★★ ★

Home to a small population until 1930, Boyd offers a window onto how St Kilda has remained relatively untouched since its last inhabitants left. It gives a sense of how people would have lived and what’s being done to protect the site.

Isle of Rust is a visual response to Jonathan Meades’ essay (included in the book) of the same name and presents a slightly eery narrative of the two islands’ huge collections of corroding or abandoned items.
