Exhibition & Book Launch
Fisherwomen and Men of the Firth of Forth
Announcing a new publication by Studies in Photography. At the heart of the publication is Hill & Adamson’s celebrated series depicting the fishing communities of the Firth of Forth, particularly the village of Newhaven.
Widely regarded as the earliest sustained example of social documentary photography, these images capture both the fishermen and the fisherwomen whose labour, resilience, and economic contribution sustained the community.
By placing these photographs within their historical and social context, Stevenson’s study restores balance to the narrative and invites a renewed understanding of photography’s earliest achievements.

Ambit
Jane Brettle
Sat 14 March - Sat 25 April 2026
Announcing the latest exhibition by artist Jane
Brettle.
Ambit - a sphere of action: expression, or influence: scope… is an exhibition which touches on some of the artist’s interconnected projects, from site works to portraits that engage with our environment as it historically defines us. The mainly recent works in the exhibition investigate post industrial and pastoral land and seascapes to the north and south of the UK and are joined by earlier works which both suggest and question allegory as a means of creating Art - and classical ideas of Arcadia.
Click here to book for the artist talk A Life Through Practice on 18 April at 15:30.
