Ian studied at Gray's School of Art in Aberdeen from 1957-62, earning a postgraduate degree in sculpture. In time, he returned home to reap a traditional living from land and sea in the place of his birth. Ian continues his work as a painter and sculptor from North Ronaldsay.Ian's public works include the monuments to the lost crews of the Longhope and Fraserburgh lifeboats and the statue of Arctic explorer Dr John Rae in Stromness. His busts of the artist Stanley Cursiter and the writer and poet George Mackay Brown are in the Orkney Library & Archive. Ian Scott's sculptures, along with his oil and watercolour paintings, are widespread in both public and private collections. The whole of Ian's work reflects his deep affection for his island home and the rocky shores that continue to inspire him.This book - something of a memoir as well as a social history of North Ronaldsay life in the 20th and 21st centuries - is the first in a planned series preserving nearly 35 years of Ian Scott's unique viewpoint of island life on the Scottish Orkney island of North Ronaldsay.
