An Turas

The Art installation An Turas in the Isle of Tiree.

When you arrive by ferry in the Isle of Tiree you will see this art installation near the ferry port.

An Turas is in, and of, the landscape and the place … it is that which gives it its meaning. (Visit Tiree)

An Turas is a collaboration between two young Scottish architects and a group of artists – a combination of architecture and art.
