About MeIn the early 1930s, Ian Fleming met fellow printmaker Willie Wilson who had trained in Edinburgh and the two formed a strong friendship, making sketching expeditions around the harbours and coastal towns of Scotland. In the summer of that 1935 they went to Skye, in the Inner Hebrides, visiting the small village of Elgol.
