Artists have been captivated by the sea for centuries, drawn to its power, beauty, and ever-changing nature. Harbours & High Water celebrates contemporary and historical Scottish artists responses to the edges of our landscape. It highlights the enduring majesty of the ocean and examines the complex interplay between humans and the sea—a relationship that is as much about survival and sustenance as it is about awe and inspiration.
Scotland’s fishing communities have profoundly shaped our understanding and connection with the sea. Harbours & High Water invites audiences to reflect on how our coastlines continue to shape cultural identity and to consider what the future holds for these vital, vulnerable spaces.
