The new book of photography by Alan Dimmick

SHIPPING JULY 2026

"I know I can get quite excited - but I am REALLY excited about this! Last summer at my beloved Millport I had an exhibition of some of my Cumbrae photos called Island Record. This show meant a great deal to me and folk did seem to like it too, so, I am very pleased to announce a book of the exhibition." — Alan Dimmick

Many people have a deep running affection for the Isle of Cumbrae and Millport. You might have experienced the thrill of island adventures with friends and lovers, a quick escape here warping and stretching time. For others, the attachment is tied up with memories of visits with and to family. Connections to this wee and perfect island are plentiful and often yearned for, frequently repeated and revisited, the echo of an echo of an echo.

The book will be published by Glasgow-based P&H Books and printed in nearby Largs.
