Inspired by the whispers of folklore that a Giantess once lived on Beinn na Caillich, on Skye. There may have been another Giantess across the waters on Raasay, and they would throw rocks at one another - creating the mountainous landscape we see today. I tried to incorporate elements of the land on her dress - ancient grains, the mountainous landscape as viewed from Raasay over to Skye, sea eagles, red deer, salmon and trees that would have once covered the island.
