A powerful photo-led exhibition featuring 12 individuals from across Scotland, “Pride in the Seas” depicts the challenges, pride and responsibility felt by those working in Scotland’s fishing industry.
The historic buildings of the Scottish Fisheries Museum, once used as a fisherman’s store, chandlery and boatyard, will provide a compelling backdrop for these modern-day scenes as they connect with the communities they were designed to represent.
Visitors can wander the museum exhibits, discovering the personal stories behind each photograph, and contributing their own comments and perspectives on sustainable fishing's role in Scotland's food security and low-carbon future.
Created by the Scottish Fishermen’s Federation (SFF) in partnership with renowned photographer, Ian Georgeson, the exhibition profiles vessel owners, skippers, deckhands, scientists and analysts from Berwickshire to Shetland, all involved with ensuring a sustainable and prosperous future for Scotland’s seas.
The exhibition was first shown in the Scottish Parliament in March of this year, and featured at one of the industry’s largest events – Scottish Skipper Expo.
Now, SFF is encouraging the public to learn more about the industry from within and to contribute their own comments and perspectives as they are immersed in the stories shared.
The exhibition runs from 26th June - 16 September
