Fay Godwin’s black and white photographs document the traces of human occupation on land, both past and present. She was especially interested in the British countryside. Godwin explained: ‘There is virtually no landscape in Britain that has not been worked, affected by human use, and this is what particularly interests me’. This work is from a series of 34 photographs from her project Whisky roads of Scotland which explores the whisky industry. It shows an old path near Corryhabbie Burn in Moray, known as a hotbed of whisky smuggling in the 17th and 18th centuries.
