These two portraits are on the wall of 79 East Main St, Broxburn. I thought they were plastic but according to a pdf file about publicly-funded art works in Broxburn and neighbouring Uphall, they are made from dibond - this is a fairly thick plastic sheet with a very thin outer coating of aluminium on each side. They've been up since 2010 and are part of a series by Mike Inglis, and according to the blurb are designed to depict the importance of brass bands in both towns' histories.
