The Morton Photography Project at the National Trust for Scotland: Collections, Stories, Case Studies.
Today is World Photography Day. The National Trust for Scotland holds thousands of photographic images related to dozens of properties in its collections, from nineteenth century glass plates and prints to modern slides. The Morton Photographic Project has spent the past few years digitising, cataloguing, researching and raising the profile of these collections.
Dr Antonia Laurence Allen is the National Trust for Scotland’s Regional Curator for Edinburgh and East and will share collections, stories and projects from properties as diverse as Canna House, Brodie Castle and Tenement House.
