The Skelligs: Islands on the Edge of the World
The Skelligs: Islands on the Edge of the World
Detailed size information is shown in the preview images as you make selections below.
Explore the Skelligs as they’ve never been seen before. This book will give you a taste of how the monks and lighthouse builders might have experienced Skellig Michael.
128 pages with dramatic, never before seen photographs showing the islands in all their moods, from stormy and brooding to calm and peaceful. A wonderful addition to any collection.
Acrylic is a way of displaying prints in a very sleek and modern way. The print is made on a high-gloss, very smooth paper which is then adhered to a lightweight but stiff backing, usually dibond.
Then a sheet of 6mm thick acrylic is mounted to the front of the print using an optically clear adhesive layer. The result is a crystal-clear, high definition print with no border that looks as though it's floating on the wall.
Because the process is very finicky, any dust or defect during the process means the materials can not be reused, so it's very expensive to produce - hence the higher price tag. However, it is definitely a striking way to display a print!
Our 'Museum' size panoramic prints are very long - 7 and a half feet, or 2.3 meters. Unfortunately this means that they exceed the size of the largest sheets of acrylic available, so it's simply not possible to make them.
We recommend you purchase it as a canvas print instead, which still looks incredible. So incredible that we're pretty sure at least one minor fender-bender happened outside the gallery because the Museum size panoramic print hanging in the front window distracted someone passing by.
When selecting your print, please be aware of two things:
- Unframed prints are free to ship anywhere in the world
- Framed prints will have a shipping charge
Framed prints are bulky and delicate and therefore require extra time and materials to pack them properly so they arrive in good condition. Due to their size, they also cost more to ship.
As such, you may balk a little at the shipping cost (which is specific to your location, and will be shown to you before you finalize checkout). Please be assured, we are not profiting from this charge, it merely reflects the time, materials and courier charge we incur to get your print to you safely.
And remember, you can always buy the print unframed and it will be sent with free shipping!
Great to see such varied and wonderful photos of the Skelligs. The quality of paper and photos is really excellent. So nice photos from places which are off limits to the public. I’ve viewed the island from the water and land but its so nice to see photos taken from places you can’t reach like the old lighthouse. Drone photos also add so much. Love the mix as well, aerial, traditional landscape, night, puffins! So nice.
On the flip side some of the two page panoramic photos while lovely were “pinched” somewhat by the book binder. Page 44 is a good example of what I mean here or indeed page 22 vs the cover photo. This is me being picky as overall its a really beautiful book.
I will be buying another to give as a present to a friend:)
A big thank you.

I bought this beautiful book for my husband who couldn't have been more thrilled fabulous photography
Bought for a relative who had visited the Skelligs a decade ago. He is very happy with it. Especially in the lockdown; a great escape
perfect gift received on time . it is a stunning book and truly appreciated by the person who received it.
I couldn’t quite reach the word I needed to adequately describe the experience I felt visiting the Skelligs last summer (didn’t get on Skellig Michael unfortunately). They are beautiful, spiritual, inspiring and therefore simply magnificent. When I bought Peter’s book it’s own magnificence is that it brings you right back to where you feel you are experiencing the islands up close. You also get to learn and see so much more - opening it again and again and you spot something new every time. It’s a absolute beauty and I couldn’t recommend it highly enough.
