When people think of Scotland, they often think of rain. Scots, in turn, have always had a lot to say about it! Our relationship with rain is both practical and deeply woven into our culture, landscape and national identity.
This exhibition makes a splash as we dive into Scotland’s relationship with rain. From weather forecasting, fashion, and film, to rain-soaked love stories, climate emergencies, and everything in between.
Included in the exhibition is James Hutton’s ‘Theory of Rain’, published in ‘Transactions of the Royal Society of Edinburgh’ (1788).
