An international collaboration between the South West Capes of Western Australia and Scotland. This Art Project is telling stories of shared journeys, land people and communities past and present.

The Tartan Fleck started as a visual celebration of the contributions of Scottish migrants to the rural South West Capes of Western Australia. Capturing the tales of Scottish Western Australians who have helped to shape the life of this area from its colonial roots to the present day.
