Thank you so much to Catherine and all at @CoalfieldsRegen! It's such a beautiful building for our #free Five Bings #community #artexhibition #miningheritage

[Mining Landscapes @coal_legacies]

Catherine is south of the border (expect English Midlands pics) but before she left she helped @YWLStudios hang a ‘mini version’ of the 5 Bings exhibition at @CoalfieldsRegen HQ #Kincardine it’s a working space but you can see it through the window and we will post visiting times

The @HeritageFundSCO and @StirUni #MiningLandscapes #Ecomuseum project’s community artist @YWLStudios is celebrating with @kirstyjmcneill the loan of her painting Pit Head (inspired by the Lady Victoria) from @NatMiningMuseum to the Scotland Office. Brilliant news Yvonne.

Very many thanks for a lovely evening, it was wonderful seeing my painting again and a great privilege to celebrate our mining community 🎉🎨

[Scotland Office @UKGovScotland]

Minister @kirstyjmcneill welcomed guests from @NatMiningMuseum & @HeritageFundUK to the Scotland Office Edinburgh HQ to celebrate the loan of artist @yweighandlyle's painting 'Pit Head'.

The artwork explores societal memory & Scotland's mining communities' industrial heritage.
