Visitor comments

Thought provoking reaction from visitors to our exhibition.

“Superb photographs. All the eyes tell a story, that words can't.”

“Fantastic pictures, stunning and sad and very moving.”

“The eyes speak more than the words can say. Very powerful and evocative. Excellent.”

“I like very much this exhibition, its shown men and women of Scotland serving their country, very far from home. And living with people of Afghanistan. Really good pictures. So deep, beautiful.”

“Gritty realism - shocking , yet starkly stunning.”

“Their story is in their eyes, some of them are almost heart breaking. The photos are stunning and totally captivating. Thank you.”

“These photographs are wonderful - they're compelling & insightful. I appreciate the unique vision this has given me of the individual soldier. Beautifully done. Thank you.”

“Very interesting exhibition. The photography expresses really the feeling of the soldiers - we can imagine what was their like over there - thank you.”
