Kilts, cabers and cultural significance: Robbie Lawrence captures the Highland Games as you've never seen it

Long Walk Home by Robbie Lawrence.

For the past five years photographer Robbie Lawrence has traveled across the US and Scotland, capturing the Scottish Highland Games and exploring its cultural significance to the Scottish people – and, in turn, himself. The resulting body of work is a love letter to Scottish culture and has been showcased in one of the most beautiful photography books of the year so far. 

A photographer of Scottish heritage, Lawrence's new book Long Walk Home is a visual exploration of Scottish nationalism and identity captured through the vehicle of the Highland Games – a Scottish sporting event that is just as much about the community and the celebration as the events themselves.
