Loss by Barry Smith - sponsor a boat

Fiona describes Barry Smith's 'Loss' which was part of his 'Betrayal and Loss' exhibition in Strathnaver Museum's Annex during September 2023. Barry's work explores the impact on those who were cleared during the Strathnaver Clearances 1814-1819 and compelled to take up fishing. This work was inspired by the contemporary account of Donald Macleod who recounted the terrible loss of 100 small boats along a 30 mile stretch of coastline in 1 year.
