In 2013, we were on the beach at Caolas, at the north end of Tiree, looking over the
sound (caol) towards the island of Coll. From Caolas, Robert's house is just hidden by
the headland, but the colours of the sea, sky, sands and landscape that day were like some
fantastic invention by a Scottish Colourist - more shades of blues, greens, whites and vivid
rock-grays than could ever be counted
