The exhibition is a celebration of the Scottish Islands and part of the Scotland's Islands Festival. It is one of the few events taking place outside of the Islands and gives people an opportunity to view some of the stunning scenery of our Islands without the travel. We will also have a selection of Iona Silver jewellery. The exhibition is from 25 September to 1 October, 2pm-6pm Sunday 25th, 10am - 8pm daily Monday - Friday, limited viewing 10am - 4pm Saturday 1st October, at the Air Gallery, 32 Dover Street, Mayfair, London W1S 4 NE.

As you may be aware, 2011 marks the 400^th Anniversary of the Scots Box. In 1611 the Scots Box, which we have a replica of in the office, was used by wealthier Scots to place money which would then be dispersed to the needy.
