Each installation has a different theme and a different overall shape, inspired by the historic pieces and by stories from working and retired R.I.E. staff. Approaching from the lifts: (1) Narratives: a long line of historic rectangular plaques begins at the left with a bronze relief floor plan of the Lauriston Place R.I.E., opened in 1879, and ends with a thistle partly formed of the floor plan of the new R.I.E., opened in 2003. Spaced out above the historic plaques are twelve bronze reliefs featuring waving hands, schematic heads and figures. These move from long horizontal forms, shortening to a circle, and then vertical ovals. It represents an overview of hands-on involvement with the hospital over the years, including the giving of funds, research, nutrition, hygiene, volunteering and spiritual care. (2) Subscribers: a large vertical historic plaque commemorates funds raised for the R.I.E. by the League of Subscribers 1918-1948, coal and shale miners who were often treated at the hospital. An integral bas relief shows miners and other members of the Edinburgh populace walking in procession towards the left. Either side of this is a new rectangular relief showing a crowd of abstracted heads. Beyond the new relief on the left is a historic plaque of a Freemasons 1941 Endowment; beyond the new relief on the right is a plaque listing various institutional donors. The layout of these five plaques forms part of a cross. (3) Nursing: between two large historical plaques, a bronze relief of a pelican on its nest is surrounded by an outline of the globe. Five historical plaques, decreasing in size, form a stepped base for the nest. Page 1 of 2 PMSA NRP: Work Record Ref: EDIN0011 14-Jun-11 © PMSA RAC This represents the prestigious pelican badge for nursing, whose holders worked across the world. (4) Advances in Medicine: a central 1927 plaque commemorates three physicians who made significant contributions to medical science: Lord Joseph Lister, Dr Argyll Robertson and Dr Matthews Duncan. Forming a long horizontal, six shield-shaped historic plaques, three either side, are interspersed with bronze relief forms of bottles and vials of various shapes (seven in all). This represents the changes in medical healthcare over the past 60 years. (5) Living and Working at the Royal Infirmary: an almost square installation consists of nine identically shaped and sized plaques on original wooden mounts, with four new square representational reliefs spaced between them forming the corners of an inner square. The new reliefs show, clockwise from top left, the turreted clocktower of the Lauriston Place R.I.E.; a group portrait in relief of eight nurses; a couple standing looking at tall wall plaques in a corridor; and a mouse on a tiled floor. This work was inspired by lighter moments recalled by staff.

History of At a meeting of the Managers of the R.I.E. on 2 March 1767, Dr Cullen moved that the Managers Commission consider 'some publick (sic) testimony of their regard to the memory of Late Provost Drummond.'

(2) At a meeting held on 7 August 1769 it was minuted that Mr Learmonth was to speak to Mr John Adams 'to lay before the Managers the draught of the bust'.

This was 'for executing the Bust now lodged in the Infirmary, amounting to £93/15/4.' (4) In 2004 the bust was installed in the new Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh by Graciela Ainsworth.

  • 8. La New Town De James Craig
    8. La New Town de James Craig. 8.1. La expansión hacia la New Town. 8.1.1. Contexto histórico de la expansión hacia la New Town. Para el siglo XVIII, los problemas de sobrepoblación de Edimburgo ya eran insufribles. Caminar por la Royal Mile debía generar una sensación realmente aplastante entre edificios que alcanzaban incluso los catorce pisos de altura. Su sociedad, a pesar de haber alcanzado un elevado nivel de desarrollo y complejidad, vivía confinada en un espacio muy reducido, de manera que todas las clases sociales convivían en los mismos edificios conforme a una estratificación vertical. Esta densificación, a falta de infraestructuras de saneamiento, hacía de Edimburgo un lugar insalubre donde sus ciudadanos vivían bajo la amenaza constante de plagas y enfermedades. Por si fuera poco, el mal estado general de los edificios tenía ya a la población acostumbrada a continuos incendios y colapsos. Tras el desarrollo urbanístico hacia el sur en la primera mitad del siglo XVIII, Edimburgo alcanzó su límite del hacinamiento en el interior de sus murallas. Esta situación de decadencia no se correspondía con el momento económico e intelectual que vivía la ciudad, una de las grandes capitales europeas de la Ilustración, donde destacaron figuras de primer nivel como el economista Adam Smith, el filósofo David Hume, el arquitecto Robert Adam, etc. Esta generación de grandes pensadores marcaría el segundo gran hito urbanístico de Edimburgo tras la fundación de la Abadía de Holyrood, extendiendo sus límites hacia el norte buscando el puerto de Leith. Aunque la urbanización de la New Town en un inicio pudiera ser entendida como una Fig 8.1: Plano de Edimburgo en 1742, por William Edgar.

The Auld Alliance between Scotland and France was ratified by treaty many times in history.1After 1603 with the union of the crowns of Scotland and England, it was never again a formal alliance. However the Auld Alliance did not die, the continuing links between the two countries shaped many aspects of their society. Trade, education, language, law, and philosophy were influenced by the cultural links and friendships between Scotland and France.

  • North East Locality Open Space Action Plan
    North East Locality Open Space Action Plan March 2017 North East Edinburgh Open Space and Action Plan (March 2017) Introduction This is one of four Open Space Action Plans to support delivery of Open Space 2021, Edinburgh’s Open Space Strategy. Open Space is a key element of Edinburgh’s physical, social and environmental fabric and Open Space 2021 sets guiding standards for existing and new open space provision as the city grows. Through standards based on open space quality, size and distance from homes, the Strategy aims to increase the number of people that can benefit from greenspaces that are sustainably managed, biologically diverse and contribute to health and wellbeing. The Open Space Profile shows how the Locality compares to the overall picture of open space across the city, highlighting changes to provision. It is a working plan, to be reviewed periodically to capture collective efforts which lead to the improvement and extension of Edinburgh’s green network. Actions, including estimated costs, may be subject to review, further feasibility studies and change. The Action Plan sets out proposals to help reduce inequalities in access to good quality open space and play provision. In time, it will reflect local environment priorities emerging through co-production of Locality Improvement Plans by Community Planning partners. The first version shows citywide priorities identified by Edinburgh’s annual parks quality assessment and actions carried forward from the existing Play Area Action Plan (2011-16) and previous Open Space Strategy (2010). The Action Plan will co-ordinate ongoing open space management actions with those relating to development, including changes arising from individual planning decisions and the delivery of new parks and play areas through the adopted Edinburgh Local Development Plan (LDP).
