The Legacy

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.
