The Dark Island Soap Co. was created in honour of my beloved late father, Donald MacLellan. Dad hailed from Lochboisdale, South Uist, in the beautiful Outer Hebrides of Scotland, known as "The Dark Island." Unfortunately, he passed away on the 31st of August, 2022, from Vascular Dementia.
A business owner himself, he served his apprentice with Croall & Croall of Stockbridge, Edinburgh and became a Volkswagen Specialist, going on to own and run his successful motoring business in the sought-after area of Morningside, Edinburgh for over 50 years.
It is a privilege to dedicate this business to my father, and keep his memory alive. - Chiara MacLellan
