IMAGES taken during a photographer’s tour of abandoned railway depots and car cemeteries around the world have been put together in a book to raise money for a homelessness charity.
David McKeran has covered thousands of miles over the last three years visiting countries including France, Spain, Cuba and Namibia to photograph derelict cars, rail engines and boats.
His trip started at the Bowling harbour boat graveyard on the Clyde. Proceeds from the book, Rack and Ruin, will go to Glasgow City Mission.
McKeran, who runs David McKeran Photography and is a partner in Matrix Business Growth Consultants in Glasgow, said:
“I was told about the boat graveyard in Bowling and found
the rotting wood, rusting metal and twisted shapes provided the scope for some dramatic images.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
