Much-loved photographer Jim Ratcliffe’s life through a lens on show at Signal Tower

The work of well-known Arbroath photographer Jim Ratcliffe will be the subject of a special display next week.

Mr Ratcliffe, who died aged 78 in January, donated more than 75,000 negatives to the Signal Tower Museum’s archives in 2015.

On Tuesday at 2pm, Fiona Scharlau, Angus Archives manager, is hosting a Jim Ratcliffe Collection drop-in at the visitor attraction.

Visitors will have an opportunity to view a slideshow of photographs taken by Mr Ratcliffe in Arbroath during the 1970s.

People are asked to come along and help identify people and places which were captured by Mr Ratcliffe’s lens.

The freelance photographer operated in Arbroath since the 1960s and catalogued every picture taken in that time.
