35 colour photographs by Martin Parr.
The rebirth of Dunoon’s Burgh Hall as a centre for contemporary arts after 40 years of uncertainty and the threat of demolition, is a significant moment in the life of the town and the wider area around it. Even before its reopening in 2017, activities relating to the Burgh Hall project had begun to stimulate Dunoon’s creative activities – and the town’s cultural outreach across Scotland, and beyond. This book, whose second part portrays Dunoon through the very particular lens of the acclaimed photographer, Martin Parr, tells the concise story of the revival of the Burgh Hall in the context of the life of Dunoon through time. It begins with the history of the town and the Hall, moves on to the Hall’s physical rescue and transformation, and concludes with a glimpse of what the Burgh Hall aspires to contribute in the future to the people of the town, and to those attracted to visit Dunoon from further afield.
