The Legacy
This exhibition looks at the legacy of the mining industry
in the South West of Scotland and its impact on the people and the
landscape. The commission was awarded to Iain Brown, documentary
photographer, who used the subject to highlight some of the many
interesting stories that came from his conversations with people
from the communities connected with the mining industry, past and
present. The work took place over a period of six weeks in the
Spring of 2006. There are still many interesting tales yet to be
heard.
