Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Sepia tone snapshots by famous Scottish photographer Rankin, inspired by a famous Scottish whisky, have been published in a book which forms a “photographic essay” of the beautiful three-hundred-year-old estate responsible for Macallan Single Malt Whisky.

The 1,000 image series of the estate, which overlooks the river Spey and dates back to the 1700s, was taken on a Polaroid camera, which lends it an archaic and rustic edge in keeping with the whisky’s brand.

Rankin was commissioned to be the first to take part in a project called ‘The Macallan Masters of Photography’, and his work will be available in a special edition book called ‘Rankin: A Photographic Essay of the Macallan Estate.’

A Photographic Essay of The Macallan Estate (£40) is available to purchase from www.themacallan.com from May, 2010.
