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
