Paper Flowers – On the Bay, 2023

Donnie Munro was born in Uig Isle of Skye, the youngest of three children. Born into a crofting family, he was a native Gaelic speaker, spending his childhood between the family home in the village of Portree, the island’s main centre, where he attended school, and the family’s croft in the small village of Treaslane, in the Northwest of the Island. Munro considers himself to have been very fortunate in having experienced that very traditional crofting life at a time when Gaelic Language and Culture remained very naturally embedded in the fabric of daily family and community life and became the language which so informed his formative years.
