@GilliesMaeve @harrisdistiller I just hit on this old tweet while searching for something else. To complete the story, Maeve is a professional jewellery designer and maker, and when she sold the piece she gave the profits to the @GalGael Trust in Glasgow 🙏🏼

@alastairmci @harrisdistiller @GalGael My huge pleasure to do so for @GalGael Alastair. Thanks again to you and @harrisdistiller for your support.

@alastairmci @harrisdistiller Thank you for the well of inspiration and support Alastair. These Eagles continue to grow bigger than all of us! 🦅

@harrisdistiller @GilliesMaeve Thank you for having been such fine hosts. I was so impressed to learn the first of the distillery’s 5 values is “from, with & for the island”. In employing 33 people, that’s same as the public inquiry said the superquarry would have employed. And you don’t take the place away!

We had a most enlightening morning at the distillery in the company of @GilliesMaeve, @alastairmci and others as they discussed 30 years of light and dark. #community

[Maeve Gillies @GilliesMaeve]

@harrisdistiller @alastairmci Really looking forward to it. See you soon!

This Friday, we invite you to join us here at the distillery for ‘By the Light of the Moonrock’, a morning gathering with jeweller Maeve Gillies & author Alastair McIntosh. For those unable to be here we will have a live link https://t.co/uPCvlmXjw7 @maevegillies @alastairmci

[Isle of Harris Distillery @harrisdistiller]

We cordially invite you to join us here at the distillery on Friday 22nd October, for a morning gathering with @GilliesMaeve and @alastairmci to discuss "Thirty years of Dark and Light" and what it means for us all today. #socialdistillery #community

@iancallaghan @alastairmci I believe it will be streamed live on the Harris Distillery Facebook page Ian. Will confirm closer to the day.

@Sho_Mac @MaeVona @harrisdistiller Looking forward to watching it Shona!

[Alastair McIntosh @alastairmci]

Astonishing that the Harris Distillery now employs more than the 33 direct local jobs that the 1990s public inquiry concluded the proposed & opposed #superquarry would’ve brought to Harris - while taking it away. ⁦@GilliesMaeve⁩ ⁦@iancallaghan⁩ https://t.co/bh62nb1Ch3

@harrisdistiller @anlanntair So thrilled to see it! Can’t wait to visit next week.

[Isle of Harris Distillery @harrisdistiller]

For the next few weeks we have a very interesting display set up in our shop area. This one of a kind necklace is a Celtic interpretation of a Native American Squash Blossom necklace, designed by Maeve Gillies it was originally created for the @anlanntair 'Bùth' exhibition.

[Alastair McIntosh @alastairmci]

Today, Scotland on Sunday @alicampsie75 tells of the stone & silver piece by @GilliesMaeve. Recalling the Harris #superquarry threat (or opportunity, some felt), it speaks to the light & dark in our world: even, the call to “mount up with wings as eagles”. https://t.co/SWhnf0oArB

20 years ago next month saw publication of #SoilAndSoul, about community, land & the Harris #superquarry saga.

The Kiosk/Bùth exhibition @anlanntair in SY until 21/8 displays Maeve Gillies’ necklace - Superquarry Squash Blossom - that powerfully recalls Chief Stone Eagle’s help.
