The Angus Og: Out of the Archives Exhibition features specially selected cartoons alongside information about the life and work of the cartoon’s creator, Ewen Bain.
This exhibition has been designed to spark reflection and discussion about Island/Highland life and futures whilst embodying the fun and creative approach taken by Ewen Bain in the development of the fictional island of Drambeg.
