The Institute’s exhibition at the Royal Highland Show this year ‘A Century of Changes in the Scottish Landscape‘ has prompted a former staff member of Nature Conservancy to donate landscape images to the Institute.

Inge Aalders and Jane Morrice recently visited Mr Huxley, who has worked for Nature Conservancy since 1957, and he has donated approximately 800 transparency slides and black & white negatives from across Scotland. These were taken during his time with the Conservancy in the hope that their record of Scotland’s landscapes in the 1950s and 60s will not be lost for future generations and can be of value to our work on landscape change. The Institute hopes to collaborate with either Aberdeen or St Andrews University photo library for archiving and digitising this fabulous collection.
