Kate Davies and Tom Barr live by Scotland’s best-loved long-distance walking route: the West Highland Way.

In this collaborative creative project they celebrate their home, their workplace and the landscape that inspires them every day. Kate began by creating a collection of twelve hand-knit designs, each with its own distinctive story.
Balanced equally between garments and accessoires, you might choose to knit a tweedy cardigan which echoes the mossy palette of Conic Hill, a delicate jumper recalling a favourite plant found on Rannoch Moor, or a shawl sparked by the energy of the Highlands’ first “electric village”.

Each design is paired with a exploratory essay which sets Kate’s designs and inspiration in their richer context. From Rob Roy’s romantic (mis)interpretation to the beautiful songs of Donnchadh Bàn; from Loch Lomond’s built environment to ways of seeing Rannoch Moor, Kate’s writing reveals the West Highland Way as, first and foremost, a social landscape with an important cultural history.
Kate’s words and designs are accompanied by Tom’s stunning photography, depicting the West Highland Way in all seasons of the year.
