Creativity & Cosmic Gifts on Arran

This audio forms part of a series of audio interviews conducted in 2023 by Smartify as part of the Spirit of the Highlands and Islands project. Listen and discover the Spirit of the Highlands and Islands through the eyes of the people who live, work and visit here.

Listen here to award-winning contemporary author and Arran islander Nix Moretta as she discusses finding an adopted home on Arran, the cosmic gifts that the island provides and finding her literary calling.

...there's this kind of light that constantly emanates from the island and I think that's what gives it it's cosmic gift. It's got something that's completely un-tangible, that you can't really put your finger on it but everybody who comes here experiences it if they're tapped into it...but if you can really immerse yourself. If you can look through that narrow veil from mainland existence to island existence, it's a complete door opener.
