This week, we were honoured to support ‘FIREPROOF’, a powerful film and photography exhibition documenting over two years of the Ukrainian 24th Mechanised Brigade’s defence of Chasiv Yar.

Hosted at the National Galleries of Scotland, the event brought together guests for a screening of the film, a photography exhibition documenting the realities of war, and a discussion with Yurij, a commander of the 24th Mechanised Brigade. The film was presented at the Hawthornden Lecture Theatre within The National.

Our team at The Scottish Cafe & Restaurant was proud to provide a selection of canapés and welcome drinks for the evening, supporting an important event.

The FIREPROOF outdoor photography exhibition features 30 photographs and is open to the public from 7th-21st October at The Mound Precinct, beside the National Galleries of Scotland.
