About The Author

Mairi Hedderwick

Mairi Hedderwick, a graduate of Edinburgh College of Art, was a teacher before becoming a children’s book illustrator. As an author and illustrator, her most popular character, Katie Morag, was created in 1984. Katie Morag’s home on the fictional Hebridean island of Struay is inspired by her life long association with the Isle of Coll. In 2013, Katie Morag joined Cbeebies with a TV series produced by Move On Up / Struay Films.

Mairi Hedderwick has also written and illustrated many other books for children and adults, all set against the backdrop of the Highlands and Islands. She was awarded an Honorary Degree from Stirling University in 2003 for her outstanding contribution to writing and illustration in Scotland, especially for children.

Her illustrated adult books include An Eye on the Hebrides, a record of a six-month journey through the islands of western Scotland; Highland Journey, following the footsteps of Victorian writer and artist John T Reid; Sea Change, logging the passage of the 26ft vintage yacht Anassa from east to west coast Scotland via the Caledonian canal; Shetland Rambles, another illustrated personal journey with John T Reid; and The Last Laird of Coll, a memoir of Kenneth Stewart, the last laird of Coll.
