In 2017/18 we worked in all of Scotland’s 32 local authority areas to deliver a wide-ranging programme which included touring exhibitions and loans, community engagement projects, learning and digital programmes as well as support for collections development through the National Fund for Acquisitions, expert advice from our specialist staff and skills development through our National Training Programme. As part of our drive to engage young people in STEM learning (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths), we developed Powering Up, a national science engagement programme for schools. Funded by the ScottishPower Foundation, we delivered workshops on wind, solar and wave energy in partnership with the National Mining Museum, the Scottish Maritime Museum and New Lanark World Heritage Site. In January 2017, as part of the final phase of redevelopment of the National Museum of Scotland, we launched an ambitious national programme to support engagement with Ancient Egyptian and East Asian collections held in museums across Scotland. Funded by the National Lottery and the Esmée Fairbairn Collections Fund, the project is providing national partnership exhibitions and supporting collection reviews, skills development and new approaches to audience engagement. All of this work is contributing to our ambition to share our collections and expertise as widely as possible, ensuring that we are a truly national museum for Scotland.

  • DAVID MICHIE Memorial Exhibition
    DAVID MICHIE DAVID DAVID MICHIE Memorial Exhibition The Scottish Gallery, Edinburgh DAVID MICHIE (1928-2015) Memorial Exhibition 1 March – 1 April 2017 16 Dundas Street · Edinburgh EH3 6HZ +44 (0) 131 558 1200 [email protected] www.scottish-gallery.co.uk Front cover: Summer Garden, 1990, oil on canvas, 132 x 152.5 cms (detail) (cat. 26) Left: Self Portrait II, c.1958, chalk drawing, 36.5 x 26.5 cms (detail) (cat. 6) FOREWORD A memorial exhibition should not be a sombre affair and with the subject being the life and work of David Michie our exhibition for March 2017 could not be anything but a joyous celebration, as the succeeding pages should attest. David was a devoted son to his mother Anne Redpath, the happiest of married men with his wife Eileen, the best of fathers to his girls (who have all our thanks for helping prepare this tribute) and a friend to so many, including succeeding staff at The Scottish Gallery. One of whom, Robin McClure, writes a warm introduction over the page. This generosity of heart sprang from David’s intense interest in people: he had much to say but always as part of a conversation. But whatever he was saying he was also looking, a sketchbook seldom far from hand and what he saw and remembered or recorded helped him develop his own visual language to describe many aspects of natural phenomena but also his own feelings. A natural modesty could make him a reluctant exhibitor but the exuberance and colour in his work seeks out the light and attests to a life well lived, full of optimism and creative fulfilment.

Acquired by The Hunterian with a grant from the National Fund for Acquisitions. National Fund for Acquisitions The National Fund for Acquisitions (NFA), provided by Scottish Government to the Trustees of National Museums Scotland, contributes towards the acquisition of objects for the collections of Scottish museums, galleries, libraries, archives and other similar institutions open to the public. The Fund can help with acquisitions in most collecting areas including objects relating to the arts, literature, history, natural sciences, technology, industry and medicine. Decisions on grant applications are made in consultation with curatorial staff at National Museums Scotland and the Directors and staff of the National Galleries of Scotland and the National Library of Scotland who provide expert advice to the Fund. While recognising that the financial climate is extremely difficult, National Museums Scotland was particularly dismayed to learn of a 25% cut to the NFA’s already limited funding, reducing the grant to only £150,000 in financial year 2011/12. NFA funding had remained at £200,000 per annum since 1996, a figure which in real terms has declined very considerably in value during the subsequent fifteen years. Clearly the extent of the cut means that the NFA cannot support collecting in Scotland as effectively as we would wish.

  • From Battle to Ballad: "Gallant Grahams" of the 17Th Century
    Extracted from: Lloyd D. Graham (2020) House GRAHAM: From the Antonine Wall to the Temple of Hymen, Lulu, USA. From battle to ballad: “Gallant Grahams” of the 17th century Historical context The setting for this chapter is the complex and often confusing clash between the Covenanters – the Scottish Presbyterians who opposed the Episcopalian (Anglican) reforms imposed on their Kirk by Charles I in 1637 – and the Royalists, who supported the king. To begin with, the Covenanters raised an army and defeated Charles in the so- called Bishops’ Wars. The ensuing crisis in the royal House of Stuart (Stewart) helped to precipitate the Wars of the Three Kingdoms, which included the English Civil War, the Scottish Civil War and Irish Confederate Wars. For the following decade of civil war in Britain, the Covenanters were the de facto government of Scotland. In 1643, military aid from Covenanter forces helped the Parliamentarian side in the English Civil War (“Roundheads”) to achieve victory over the king’s Royalist faction (“Cavaliers”). In turn, this triggered civil war in Scotland as Scottish Royalists – mainly Catholics and Episcopalians – took up arms against the Covenanters to oppose the impending Presbyterian domination of the Scottish religious landscape by an increasingly despotic Kirk. It is in the turmoil of this setting that Sir James Graham of Montrose (Fig. 7.1), the first of the two leaders discussed in the present chapter, plays a key role. Initially a Covenanter himself – he had signed the National Covenant in 1638 – he had effectively switched sides by 1643, becoming a leader of the Scottish Royalists.
