The artist, the Blue Badge tour guide, the construction superintendent – join writer Barbara Henderson and photographer Alan McCredie for an A-Z glimpse behind the scenes at Scotland’s iconic Forth Bridge.  Packed with stories and anecdotes, meet the people whose lives are inextricably welded to the famous red girders: enthusiasts, professionals, residents, researchers, souvenir sellers, lifeboat crew, train drivers, writers and volunteers, all accompanied by images from the acclaimed photographer Alan McCredie. Whilst there are several photographic books on the Forth Bridge they mainly have an emphasis on the structure itself, not the people here and now. Made from Girders seeks to give a real sense of what the bridge means to people. This book will be of interest to people from the area or who have connections to the Forth Rail Bridge, as well as tourists visiting the area.

Dreich: (especially of weather) dreary; bleak. Complaining about the weather is a national pastime for Scots - it's no surprise that one of our favourite words is 'dreich'! This is another in McCredie's series of photography books that celebrate of all that is dreich. Fifty dreich images of Edinburgh, accompanied by fifty equally dreich captions. To the author's mind the images in this book are uplifting and joyful. There is nothing miserable about dreich. A sunny day has no more right to exist than a dreich one.

braw, adj. fine or fine-looking, excellent. This is a celebration of all that is braw, from the warmth of a Scottish pub to the beauty of the Highland hills, from sunbathing on a dual carriageway to weathering the Beast from the East. Dive into braw Scotland.

This book is a celebration of all that is dreich. To my mind the images in this book are uplifting and joyful. There is nothing miserable about dreich. A sunny day has no more right to exist than a dreich one. Here, then, are fifty dreich images, accompanied by fifty equally dreich captions.

Finding himself faced with a feeling of disconnect from his city of birth, Stephen Millar sets out on a mission to capture the heart and essence of Glasgow, engaging with the patchwork of 'tribes' which make up the fabric of the city. Meeting with members of a remarkable variety of clubs and sub-cultures - from pagans, to cosplayers, to traditional musicians - this collection moves beyond stereotypes and delves deeper into the origins of these tribes. Scottish photographer Alan McCredie brings their stories to life through a blend of portraits and candid snaps.

The postman and the primary teacher, the midwife and the musician. Workers in shops, workers at sea. Solidarity with the Columbian farmer and the Palestinian fireman…   Modern trade unionists in Scotland perform roles in every imaginable location and are drawn from all backgrounds. They campaign to win on issues facing the colleague next to them or a comrade thousands of miles away. ’Mon the Workers tells their stories in their own words. It is a celebration of 125 years of the STUC, and a clarion call for the next generation to agitate, organise and win. This book demonstrates past achievements, explores the ideas trade unionists have fought for and rouses the movement towards future victories. 75 trade union members, reps and officials share experiences of union life from the anti-apartheid movement to Wick Wants Work. Alan McCredie’s charismatic portraits of 50 other activists from the trade union movement provide a complementary visual narrative. This very human book pulses with the energy of Scotland’s trade union movement, which has achieved so much and still has more to do.

A Scotsman and an Englishman, a camera and a notebook. The pictures tell a thousand stories, the words tell the time. This is Scotland, captured at its most crucial point for 300 years. United by a love of Scotland, warts and all. Especially its warts, in fact. Gray and McCredie set out on a journey high and low, mainland and island, rust and heather, to document a country and its people. Here is a country caught and sketched before it disappears, one of flaking pub signs and tenant crofters, Italian cafes and proper fitba’ grounds. Stunning and moving images are coupled with lyrical and nostalgic prose to make a work which will become a reference point, a caledonian comfort, an antidote to shortbread-tin Scotland.

A photography project charting 100 weeks in the life of Scotland, and the people who live there. The photos are of all aspects of Scottish culture – politics, art, social issues, sport, energy and anything else that catches the eye. It is an interesting time to be living in Scotland and McCredie was keen to record and document this vibrant and exciting period to show the country, and those who live there, in a positive light by examining the many varied aspects that make up a modern country.
