Blanche’s passion for wildlife captured in exhibition
Photographer’s first display chronicles the local area
A keen Crieff photographer is gearing up to stage her first exhibition next week.
Blanche Haddow’s work will be on display at Strathearn Community Library from Tuesday, September 21, until October 6.
The showcase has been planned in conjunction with members of the Crieff and Strathearn Museum group, supported by The Gannochy Trust, The William Syson Foundation and Culture Perth and Kinross, and focuses on Blanche’s passion for wildlife.
Janice Bourelle, library supervisor at Strathearn Community Library, said: “We are delighted to be working with Crieff and Strathearn Museum, and local photographer Blanche, in bringing this display to life at Strathearn Community Library.
“We are familiar with Blanche’s outstanding work. Her photography is truly inspirational and I do hope that people will make time to visit.”
A spokesperson for the museum group added: “Crieff and Strathearn Museum proudly presents Blanche’s first photographic exhibition showing the many forms of wildlife to be found in our local area. There will also be some quizzes for the eagle-eyed to identify various items from the photos, and a chance for you to learn some great places to see local wildlife.
“Blanche will be attending sometimes, and volunteers will be on hand, should people wish to know more or to buy one of the items, with proceeds going to Crieff and Strathearn Museum.
“There will also be display cases of various old and unique items relating to Crieff and Strathearn, and information about the Crieff and Strathearn Museum group as we try to establish a local museum to tell the amazing history of our local area and the part it has played in the wider Scottish and UK context – and even globally.”
People will be able to view the exhibition during the library’s regular opening times.
