“SHE CARRIES THE LAND - Folklore of the Cailleach” is a solo exhibition by Scottish printmaker and illustrator Abbie Lois. Made in Stirling invites viewers into the myth-drenched world of the Cailleach - the ancient, shape shifting figure of Scottish and Irish folklore.

Known for her quiet detail, gentle lines and soft colours, Abbie’s work draws deeply from the wild landscapes of Scotland and the enduring power of myth. This collection brings to life stories of the Cailleach as healer, land-shaper, and guardian of wild animals - wolf, boar, raven and deer - creatures through which she roams the hills and haunts the edges of memory.

These screen prints and illustrations carry the depth of ancient stories, reimagined with quiet intensity and care. Through them, Abbie explores not only folklore, but the often-overlooked roles of women in myth and history - powerful, elemental, and ever-present.

More than images, these works are invitations: to slow down, to listen, and to reconnect with the land and the stories which echo through it.

You’re also invited along to our special launch evening on 18th July from 6-9pm for a glass of fizz, snacks, and a chance to meet the artist.
