    THE PINNING STONES Culture and community in Aberdeenshire When traditional rubble stone masonry walls were originally constructed it was common practice to use a variety of small stones, called pinnings, to make the larger stones secure in the wall. This gave rubble walls distinctively varied appearances across the country depend- ing upon what local practices and materials were used.

    HISTORIC ENVIRONMENT SCOTLAND REGISTER OF ASSETS Last updated 12 July 2021 About Historic Environment Scotland and our assets We are a non-departmental public body (NDPB) with charitable status, formed in 2015 as the lead public body for Scotland’s historic environment. Our core purpose and functions are: • To act as the lead public body on matters relating to Scotland’s historic environment • To support and enable partners, stakeholders, communities and individuals to fulfil their roles in investigating, protecting and celebrating our heritage • To act as guardian of Scotland’s historic environment • To deliver public benefit from the activities of the body. A significant part of our work is to care for more than three hundred Properties in Care on behalf of Scottish Ministers. These include castles, tower houses, brochs, stone circles, abbeys and other historic or archaeological monuments in Scotland. We maintain and operate these sites as visitor attractions, and this is part of our core function. Many of the Properties in Care are owned or leased by Scottish Ministers, meaning they are eligible for Asset Transfer. However, a large proportion of these properties are in private or charitable ownership and we look after these under a Deed of Guardianship. Please Note - Those properties are not eligible for Asset Transfer because they are not publically-owned or leased. We provide details of all the eligible land and buildings in our Register of Assets, listed in this document by Council area. The land and buildings that Historic Environment Scotland owns or leases are ancillary properties such as car parks and works depots, visitor centres and outbuildings.

  • Download Craft Scotland Celebrates... Wood PDF 6 Feb 2019
    MEDIA RELEASE: Craft Scotland and VAS showcase material mastery in wood by Scotland based makers Three of Scotland's most exciting artists present their work in the third Craft Scotland celebrates... exhibition as part of ALIGHT at Royal Scottish Academy In the third of a planned series celebrating craft mediums Craft Scotland is delighted once again to be partnering with Visual Arts Scotland (VAS) to celebrate contemporary woodworking through a presentation of multidisciplinary works from gifted Scotland based makers. This year Craft Scotland has chosen to explore wood through the diverse work of three makers: Charlotte Barker, Beth Legg and Naomi Mcintosh. Their work is presented alongside hirta, a modular structure that acts as a focus for discussion around materiality, design and making. Challenging the common perceptions of wood, this year the Craft Scotland celebrates... wood showcase highlights the versatility of wood as a craft material, and the diversity of applications it can be adapted to. Selected by the VAS committee and representatives of Craft Scotland, the three invited artists will form the starting point for a wider celebration of the diverse discipline of contemporary woodworking throughout the ALIGHT exhibition. A sense of movement is offered by Charlotte Barker, the wood’s natural texture contrasting with the controlled markings of her ceramic vessels. Beth Legg’s objects and jewellery are rooted in the poetic nature of metal, wood and stone and her fascination with hinterlands while Naomi Mcintosh’s designs explore volume, pattern and movement. Speaking ahead of the exhibition opening Craft Scotland Director Irene Kernan said: “Our media-specific showcases were born out of Craft Scotland and Visual Arts Scotland's mutual ambition to exhibit high-quality craft, alongside works of fine art, in a venue fitting of its stature.
