J. Maizlish Mole has created editions of each of his maps that were created as part of the project, Mapping Skye and Portree.
The maps are objects of art but also playful navigational tools for the Isle of Skye as a whole, and the town of Portree in particular. By incorporating elements of local oral knowledge and culture into the map, the works show how stunning locations can be brought to life through the eyes of people who live there and visit.
A Walk Around Portree (offered in two sizes) and Every Road on the Isle of Skye are high-quality digital giclée prints on heavy-weight Hahnemuhle photorag paper. They are available in unlimited/unsigned editions.
Alongside these prints, a postcard set and tea towel have been created featuring sections of the maps. For further information and to purchase a set visit the shop
Commissioned by ATLAS Arts, in partnership with the Portree Community Trust (PACT).

Described as ‘a love song to Skye,‘ by Emma Nicolson, director at ATLAS Arts, the maps are displayed in Skye’s main town centre, Portree, as public art and information board for all to see.
