The tour will highlight key photographs from each exhibition.

About the exhibitions:

'Glean: Early 20th Century women filmmakers and photographers in Scotland' - This ground-breaking exhibition presents the work of fourteen pioneering women photographers and filmmakers working in Scotland during the early 20th century. These women present different accounts of Scotland, covering both rural and city places and communities. 

'Ron O'Donnell - Edinburgh: A Lost World' - This exhibition features black & white and colour photographs of unseen and forgotten Edinburgh interiors by Scottish artist Ron O’Donnell. During the 1970s and 1980s O’Donnell focused on photographing local shops, such as grocers, fishmongers, and pet shops, as well as tea rooms, barbers, and laundrettes all over Edinburgh, some of which are no longer in existence. Three decades later, he returned to taking pictures of interiors. This time, documenting auto repair businesses, haberdasheries, record shops and public toilets, amongst other places, including the smallest shop in Edinburgh.

'Paul Duke: No Ruined Stone' - The artist Paul Duke grew up in the Muirhouse area of Edinburgh between the mid-1960s and early 1980s. In 2015 he returned to Muirhouse to develop No Ruined Stone, a photographic series exploring the built environment and its residents at a time of significant urban regeneration and social flux. This exhibition presents a selection of photographs from the series. 'No Ruined Stone' is underpinned by a message of human resilience and strength of character.
