‘The Women Who Changed Modern Scotland’ is back on iPlayer.
I was interviewed about the ‘Violence Unseen’ campaign made in the spirit of Franki Raffles.

I am moved that my ongoing ‘Menie’ series and campaigning has been nominated for @prixpictet.bsky.social

The series documents Donald Trump’s ongoing impact on a community and once protected dune system on the Aberdeenshire coast.

I am grateful to the wonderful
Laura Noble for nominating me.
