And the Land Lay Still by James Robertson
Michael Pendreich is curating an exhibition of photographs by his late, celebrated father Angus for the National Gallery of Photography in Edinburgh. The show covers fifty years of Scottish life but, as he arranges the images and writes his catalogue essay, what story is Michael trying to tell: his father's, his own or that of Scotland itself?
