1977. Will Maclean. Drawing for The Ring Net. Edinburgh Arts 1977.

4-8 June 1977. Drawing by Will Maclean of section through a Scottish ring-net herring fishing boat, in his studio at Gateside, Fife. Edinburgh Arts 1977.

The drawing was for Maclean's research into the dying practice of Scottish West Coast ring-net herring fishing which was funded by the Scottish International Education Trust (founded by Sean Connery in 1970). The resulting documentary exhibition The Ring Net was shown at Third Eye Centre, Glasgow and the Richard Demarco Gallery (RDG), Edinburgh, in 1978. The Ring Net Archive is now in the collection of the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, Edinburgh.
