Gleann Mòr, Hirta’s summer pasture throughout its human history, is enclosed by hills that form a steep-sided horseshoe shape, facing North to the ocean and the island of Soay. The remains of the Heroine’s house still stands here, close to the Well of Virtues, and when she wasn’t off on one of her legendary hunting escapades, she was in charge of the summer pasture. Like its sister design, the Boreray Pullover, the deep two-colour ribs speak of the vertical nature of the landscape and they also provide an eminently practical fitted silhouette. The Gleann Mòr can be made in your own choice of colours, with the contrast fading as it does here, or remaining prominent throughout. This version uses a background of Calluna with a Golden Plover contrast which grades through Corncrake, Machair and Bogbean to a quiet contrast of Lapwing at the shoulders. You can see Natalia wearing it in the studio with a long teal skirt.
