CATRIONA & MAIREAD MACDONALD COLLECTION RECORDS’ IDENTITY STATEMENT Reference number: GB3219/SL/D188 Alternative reference number: GB3219/Acc.261 Title: Catriona & Mairead Macdonald Collection Dates of creation: 1892-2008 Level of description: Fonds Extent: 4 linear metres Format: Paper, photographs, textiles, artefacts RECORDS’ CONTEXT Name of creators: Catriona Macdonald, Mairead Macdonald Administrative history: This collection represents the work of two sisters, Catriona (1920-2006) and Mairead (1921-1990) Macdonald. Their mother Margaret, née Mackinnon, was born in Staffin and married Dugald Macdonald, a banker from Portree. Both parents were native Gaelic speakers, a language they passed on to their daughters. Catriona and Mairead were born in Karachi, living in India until 1929 when they moved to London, later studying at the Harrow School of Art. In May 1943, both sisters were registered as qualified designers for industry and were elected as Fellows of the Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufacturers and Commerce. The Macdonald sisters continued to travel, spending significant periods of their life in South Africa and Malta before finally settling in Sark. After her sister’s death in 1990, Catriona continued to live in Sark until the last year of her life. She died in Uig, Skye, in August 2006.

    Staffin Community Trust Church of Scotland Annexe Staffin Isle of Skye IV51 9JX Email: [email protected] TITLE: Brief for Interpretation and design tender Date: June 2018 1. Background & Context Situated is in the north-east of the Isle of Skye, in the Scottish Highlands, Staffin is renowned for its scenery and thousands of people from all over the world come to see its scenic landmarks which include the Quiraing, Old Man of Storr and Kilt Rock. Known as Taobh Sear in Gaelic, Staffin has a resident population of more than 500 people, who live in 23 different crofting townships dotted around Staffin Bay and the Trotternish Ridge. They have the good fortune to live in an area which has a range of top-tier heritage and environmental designations, possessing an international reputation for geology, palaeontology and cultural heritage. It is the purpose of this project to bring all these aspects of this community to life through the stories and experiences of the people of Staffin. The Skye Ecomuseum, also known as ‘Ceumannan,’ is a museum without walls. All the exhibits are located in its environment and require a short walk to uncover their images and stories. It was established in 2008 by the Staffin Community Trust (SCT). The Skye Ecomuseum became the first in Scotland and the UK, with funding from a variety of European and national sources, including the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF), 10 years ago. With its other title, Ceumannan, ‘footsteps’ in Gaelic, the project is estimated to have helped attract thousands of extra visitors annually to Staffin and encouraged them to stay longer, boosting the local economy as a result.
