‘lorg-coise’: Gaelic for footprint, literally means ‘a finding of foot.’
John Stuart-Murray, Reading the Gaelic Landscape
Gill Russell is an artist based in Glenkindie, the heartland of the Hielan' Ways area. She worked with us throughout the year of 2014.
The Hielan' Ways region rests between the heartlands of Aberdeenshire and Moray to the north, and the Cairngorm mountains and Ladder hills to the south. Here landscape and ecology is dominated by two vast shooting estates, Cabrach and Glenbuchat. Although largely unexplored as a destination for outdoor pursuits, it contains areas of hidden beauty, stark wilderness and historical significance, which were once traversed by a web of ancient footpaths and tracks, now many of them gone. Can the practice of walking, the finding of foot, open up these routes once again, reconnecting the now with a lost, ancient landscape?
