Multimedia Exhibition The heritage shared by Poland and Scotland is a visible and integral part of Scotland’s historic environment, dating as far back as the 16th century. Traces of this connection are evident all over Scotland. This showcase will be an informative and enriching event that will give you an opportunity to hear the stories of the places, events and people that shaped the history we are privileged to share.
The multimedia exhibition consists of four short documentaries that present selected people, places and events that linked Poland and Scotland throughout the centuries (directed by Pawel Nuckowski and Robert Motyka), as well as two photographic exhibitions (see the next page for more details).
