South Haven and Sheep Rock on beautiful Fair Isle. This is Scotland's most remote inhabited island, some 25 miles south-west of the southern tip of Mainland Shetland and some 30 miles north-east of the nearest of the Orkney Islands.

Alasdair Gray’s mural in the Òran Mór, Glasgow.

The ceiling is divided into twelve parts, so Gray based his artwork in part on the zodiac (referring to a Ladybird guide for children to map his constellations).

Some of the text on the walls/ceiling:
“Where are we from?” "Life Is Rooted in Death’s Republic"
“What are we?” “Animals Who Want More Than We Need”
“Where are we going?" “Our Seed Returns to Death’s Republic".

Elsewhere appears “Let us flourish by telling the truth” and a phrase Gray often returns to: “Work as if you are living in the early days of a better nation.”

"If a monkey hoarded more bananas than it could eat, while most of the other monkeys starved, scientists would study that monkey to figure out what the heck was wrong with it. When humans do it, we put them on the cover of Forbes."
