Inner Forth Galleries

The Inner Forth landscape defies the rules. Spectacular flocks of waders and wildfowl feed against a backdrop of steel towers and chimneys. Ancient castles gaze down on factories and warehouses, while the relics of past industries are now surrounded by woodlands and wildflowers. Sadly, many people only see the industry and commerce, while the area’s rich natural, cultural and historic heritage is often overlooked or neglected.  

However there are many great local artists and photographers who love capturing this fascinating Inner Forth landscape. We have created the gallery pages below to showcase and highlight their work, to help inspire people and communities within the area to celebrate and appreciate the heritage on their doorstep. We hope you enjoy browsing through the galleries, discovering more about this inspiring area, and viewing some of the wonderful work it has inspired.

If you are an artist or photographer, and would like us to feature your work in these galleries, please get in touch at info@innerforthlandscape.co.uk. We will showcase any appropriate work in the gallery, together with a credit and your contact details.
