Depositions attempts to restore some dignity to images of the communities of the Scottish highlands taken from patronizing BBC documentaries and news features from the 1970s and ’80s. Nostalgia for ancient folkways, traditional song and the romance of freedom, all get undercut by scientific rationalism and the pressures of normativity bringing law to bear on lives resistant to conformity.
