A Scottish Island is William
Jackson's largest scale work to date, and its polished balance demonstrates just how much
his musical talents have developed since those early days with Ossian. No island is
identified but all are there in some shape or form - either in Jackson's imagination or
that of his listener familiar with the West Coast, perhaps as a resident or as a visitor.
And if the listener hasn't been there, then Jackson's music will surely stir his or hers
desire to rectify that by encouraging a Hebridean visit at the earliest opportunity.
Bill Nolan May, 1998
