Administrative history: This collection represents the work of two sisters, Catriona (1920-2006) and Mairead (1921-1990) Macdonald. Their mother Margaret, née Mackinnon, was born in Staffin and married Dugald Macdonald, a banker from Portree. Both parents were native Gaelic speakers, a language they passed on to their daughters. Catriona and Mairead were born in Karachi, living in India until 1929 when they moved to London, later studying at the Harrow School of Art. In May 1943, both sisters were registered as qualified designers for industry and were elected as Fellows of the Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufacturers and Commerce.

The Macdonald sisters continued to travel, spending significant periods of their life in South Africa and Malta before finally settling in Sark. After her sister’s death in 1990, Catriona continued to live in Sark until the last year of her life. She died in Uig, Skye, in August 2006.
