Salt of the Earth
Famous faces with Scottish roots.
Alan Cumming, Neve Campbell, Chris Hoy, Sharleen Spiteri, Jack
White, John Byrne - just some of the faces helping shape the image
of Scotland and its culture.
Craig Mackay’s stunning photographs captured well-known Scots
and international figures with Scottish connections. The dramatic
results showed a growing confidence in modern Scotland as
celebrities, sporting personalities and artists spread their
influence abroad.
“Scotland and its people have had a profound impact on the world
today," Mackay explains. "Although these are modern
photographs, the title reflects the often humble and resilient
nature of Scottish emigrants who have enriched the world around
them over the centuries.”

“My heart and soul, as
well as my ancient ancestry, tie me to Scotland. When I go to
Scotland I feel I am at a deeper level of ‘home’ than I experience
in my own home town of New York City, which I love. I feel safe in
Scotland, and known.” - Rosanne Cash
