Angela Callaghan November 2013 ABSTRACT The intention of this thesis was to demonstrate that, with in-depth analysis, a carefully and deliberately constructed narrative could be revealed within the ceiling paintings of Skelmorlie Aisle, Largs, Scotland (c.1638). The ceiling adorned a burial aisle, which was erected by Sir Robert Montgomerie, seventh of Skelmorlie, in honour of his wife, Dame Margaret Douglas. The paintings, executed by Edinburgh apprentice James Stalker, are the only surviving example of the genre signed and dated by the artist. The ceiling was composed of forty-one individual compartments each one containing different combinations of emblems, designs, human figures, animals, birds and heraldic representations. Of the forty-one compartments, four of these contained landscape paintings, depicting the seasons, and their associated labours. Two unusual paintings were also executed each containing representations of a female figure on the land and by the sea. By a study of semiotics, this dissertation systematically re-constructed the narrative concealed within the paintings. This revealed the intrinsic meaning of the iconography. The thesis argued that simple observation revealed very little information relating to the understanding of the paintings and in-depth study was required to elucidate this. The narrative began with an exploration of seventeenth-century nobility with a particular focus on the patron, Sit Robert Montgomerie of Skelmorlie. It then considered the role of architecture and design in Early Modern Scotland with a discussion on domestic architecture and burial aisles. An exploration into the painted ceiling in seventeenth-century Scotland was also included as was a consideration of the role of the artist and patron. A focus on the sources available to artists in Scotland during the Early Modern period, followed with a particular investigation into those used within the ceiling iconography of Skelmorlie Aisle. Whether it was intended that the ceiling iconography was to be read in a specific order was also included. These initial stages provided a platform from which an in-depth analysis of the iconography within the paintings, could be undertaken. The methodology applied here was that composed by German born art historian Erwin Panofsky. Panofsky argued that identifying objects, shapes and forms did not convey why certain components were chosen or what they meant. The first step was to ascertain the genesis of the sources, as this provided a greater understanding of the narrative and why they were chosen by Montgomerie. The research revealed that, with the exception of generic designs of floral patterns and scrollwork, the iconography within the paintings was not chosen at random; each component was selected for a very specific reason. When all of the factors were considered and the iconography analysed in depth, the full narrative became exposed.

Description Planning permission is sought for a major residential development on greenfield agricultural land to the north east of Girdle Toll and west of Lawthorn in Irvine. The 6.2ha site is roughly rectangular in shape and lies to the east of the Sourlie Roundabout, which forms the junction of Lochlibo Road and Cairnmount Road (A736). The site is bisected by a single track rural road which follows a north easterly alignment from its junction with the Old Toll House on Lochlibo Road towards the open countryside beyond the town boundary. Between Sourlie Roundabout and the single track road, the site consists of a gently sloping field which now appears to be disused, although was known to be used for silage production in previous years. The field is bounded by well-defined broadleaved hedgerows and there is a narrow woodland belt along its western boundary with the A736. To the east of the single track road is a well-maintained grass field on sloping ground that is currently used for sheep grazing.

It was great fun, enhanced by sunny, warm weather and Alan Kinnaird has written a most interesting and detailed account on pages 12-15. The Voice of Alyth kindly described our presentation of A Mosaic of Wartime Alyth on Thursday 5 June as "fascinating and very well-received". Certainly, those who attended were responsive and we were given some intriguing information about events in Alyth during the Second World War. A couple of the townsfolk have volunteered to let us record their memories on tape for an oral history project. On our side, this will involve talking to the volunteers concerned, recording the conversation and - arguably the hardest part! - transcribing it. In accordance with the maxim that many hands make light work, we shall be asking Friends to volunteer to participate in this pro- ject. Other summer activities, all most enjoyable, included the Family History Day in the AK Bell Li- brary on 23 August, and the Rait Highland Games on the 30th, where Hilary Wright made a hit teaching children how to write with quill pens.

Community planning puts local people at the heart of delivering services. It is not just about creating a plan or a vision but about jointly tackling major issues such as health, transport, employment, housing, education and community safety. These issues need a shared response from, and the full involvement of, not only public sector agencies but also local businesses, voluntary organisations and especially local people. The community planning partners in East Ayrshire are committed to working together to make a real difference to the lives of all people in the area. We have already achieved a lot through joint working, but we still need to do a lot more to make sure that everybody has a good quality of life. Together, those who deliver services and those who live in our communities will build on our early success and on existing partnerships and strategies to create a shared understanding of the future for East Ayrshire.

  • University of Dundee Unit of Assessment: 30 History Title of Case
    Impact case study (REF3b) Institution: University of Dundee Unit of Assessment: 30 History Title of case study: Urban and Architectural History of Scotland, c.1500-c.1800 1. Summary of the impact (indicative maximum 100 words) The focus of the research in question has been to establish how far the architectural and urban culture of Scotland before the Union in 1707 was ‘European’ and the consequences for Scotland’s architecture after 1707 within the UK, including the issue of its assimilation with that of the rest of Britain. Initially the work, beginning in the later 1990s, concentrated on particular Scottish cities, notably Dundee and Edinburgh, more recently widening to include a large sample of Scotland’s other smaller towns. The impact of what is a major body of diverse but inter-related research (at the heart of which are buildings and the built environment) is demonstrated at several levels, through local dissemination and community engagement, through to changing public discourse at national level about much of Scotland’s architectural heritage and its implications for today. This has been achieved through the role of the lead researcher (Charles McKean) in major advisory bodies, as chairman of Edinburgh World Heritage Trust (2006-2012) to the Historic Environment Advisory Council for Scotland, and on the Scottish Committee of the Heritage Lottery Fund (Section 5: 1,2,3,4,5 and 8). 2. Underpinning research (indicative maximum 500 words) The lead researcher, Charles McKean, was Professor of Scottish Architectural History since 1997 until his death in October 2013. His examination of the European origins of Scots cities (such as Dundee, with its Baltic features) highlighted significant contrasts with the ‘British’ form of the ‘New Towns’ of places such as Edinburgh and Glasgow.
