Carrier pigeon, Judy Parrott transported gifts both ways in her recent photographic expedition from her base in Argyll’s Rothesay on the Isle of Bute to Rothesay, New Brunswick.

Here, Councillor Isobel Strong, Deputy Provost of Argyll & Bute, accepts a gift from photographer Judy on behalf of the citizens of Rothesay, New Brunswick.

Judy has recently returned from Canada where she spent a week in the other Rothesay, recording the people and their community for the This is Who We Are exhibition which will be displayed in the Scottish Parliament in November.

The gift, an engraving of the town hall in Rothesay, New Brunswick was sent back to Bute with Judy by the Mayor, Bill Bishop and Administrative Director, Mary Jane Banks as a return gesture to a silver quaich which was sent to them as a gift from Argyll & Bute Council.

The photograph above – in sunlight few other places in Argyll experienced without interruption today (20th May), shows, from left: Harry McGrath, Councillor Isobel Strong, Judy Parrott and Graeme Murdoch. Harry and Graeme are directors of Cultural Connect Scotland and the originators of This Is Who We Are.
