Exhibition

Canal Connections

2 March to 30 April 2020

This exhibition takes its theme from the ‘Year of Coasts and Waters 2020’.  It features paintings from East Dunbartonshire Council’s Civic Art Collection, and a selection of unique archives from the Kirkintilloch boat builders, J & J Hay, preserved by East Dunbartonshire Archives.

The J & J Hay records on display include records used in the running of the boat yard and their cargo shipping business. However we are also given a sense of puffers as creative inspiration. In amongst the technical and financial records we find a script of a radio play, a Puffers book in Swedish, and photos from the film set of The Maggie ‘starring’ one of Hay’s puffers in the title role.

Likewise the works selected from the Civic Collection have all been inspired by boats and waterways.
