This exhibition demonstrates the strong influence of Scots abroad when they travelled and named  1000 Canadian towns after their homeland. This photographic exhibition will add a new dimension to the cultural and historic links between our two countries by pairing 12 of these towns and facilitating a photographic project between them. The photographs will be taken by Scots Canadians and created an exhibition which will tour Scotland throughout 2009.
