  • George Washington Wilson (1823-1893)
    George Washington Wilson (1823-1893) Photographically innovative and entrepreneurial in business, Wilson was the most notable, successful and prolific stereo-photographer in Scotland and perhaps the entire UK. Having trained in Edinburgh as an artist, he worked as a miniature portrait painter and art teacher in Aberdeen from 1848. He started experimenting with photography in 1852, probably realising that it could potentially supplant his previous profession. In a short-lived partnership with Hay, he first exhibited stereoviews in 1853 at the Aberdeen Mechanics' Institution. A commission to photograph the construction of Balmoral Castle in 1854-55 led to a long royal association. His photos were used in the form of engravings for Queen Victoria's popular book “My Highland Journal”. His best-selling carte-de-visite of her on a pony held by Brown (judiciously cropped to remove other superfluous retainers) fuelled the gossip surrounding this relationship. His portrait studio in Aberdeen provided steady cashflow and in 1857, to promote his studio, he produced a print grouping together famous Aberdonians, one of the earliest ever examples of a photo-collage. He soon recognised that stereoviews were the key to prosperity and by 1863 had a catalogue of over 400 views from all across the UK, selling them in a wide variety of outlets including railway kiosks and inside cathedrals. His artistic training helped him compose picturesque and beautiful images, but he was also an innovative technician, experimenting on improving photographic techniques, chemistry and apparatus, working closely with camera and lens manufacturers. He was among the very first to publish “instantaneous” views, ranging from a bustling Princes Street, Edinburgh to a charming view of children paddling in the sea, both dating from 1859.

  • Artists in Residence 2017
    Artists in Residence 2017 Sumburgh Head’s Artist-in-Residence programme now moves into its third year and continues to attract a diverse and impressive range of international artists. As in 2016, we have some artists who are returning for a second residency. The 2017 programme includes writers and artists, with several visiting with their partners, either as a joint residency or artistic husbands and wives coming along to share and enjoy the experience. The dramatic views and inspiring natural heritage and wildlife which abound at Sumburgh Head create a perfect working environment for all our visiting artists. They are able to develop new works which are quite often continued when they return home to their own studio spaces. During each residency, public workshops or displays are arranged to allow the artists the opportunity to engage with the public and show their work. Details of each event will be published on the Sumburgh Head website and Facebook page each month. January: Paul and Christine Czainski Paul and Christine work independently and collaboratively across a broad range of art disciplines. They have high technical expertise in a range of media and have previously exhibited “ Guillemots at Sumburgh Head” at Shetland Museum and Archives Paul is particularly interested in working on some Sumburgh bird etchings using the drypoint technique during the residency. Christine will be continuing her research and works linked to Shetland’s historical/cultural connections, creating works using detritus. February: Sam Douglas and Baccara Smart Sam has travelled widely to gather material for paintings, often on foot or bicycle as a way of experiencing the landscape more closely and as a counterpoint to the static nature of his studio practice.

  • 'Caring for Bressay'
    SHETLAND HEALTH & SOCIAL CARE PARTNERSHIP IN CONJUNCTION WITH BRESSAY COMMUNITY COUNCIL ‘Caring for Bressay’ Engaging Communities in Developing Sustainable Service Models for the Future Bressay Lighthouse Introduction In December 2017 an initial meeting was held between representatives of the Bressay Community Council and the Chief Nurse (Community), Shetland Health and Social Care Partnership to discuss issues of concern with service provision on Bressay. This discussion led to the establishment of a jointly sponsored project between the Community Council and the Health and Social Care Partnership. Project Aims The aims of the project are to explore the health and care needs of residents on Bressay, and through working in partnership, create a sustainable, affordable, and clinically appropriate service model which meets the health & care needs of islanders for the future. This paper provides an overview of the work carried out by the Project Board and invites comments from the community on the proposed future service model. Membership of the Project Board can be seen in Appendix 1. All comments should be sent to Clinical Governance Support Team, NHS Shetland, Board Headquarters, Montfield in the SAE provided by 19 August 2019. Following review of all comments received, the Project Board will draft a paper for presentation to the Integration Joint Board (IJB) recommending a safe and sustainable service model for Bressay residents for the future. Background Shetland has 5 non-doctor islands – Fair Isle, Foula, Fetlar, Skerries and Bressay - where traditionally a resident nurse has been the first point of contact for all healthcare needs on a 24/7 basis. In addition to the resident nurse, the non- doctor islands - with the exception of Bressay - have regular scheduled visiting services from the General Practitioners based at the respective Health Centres with responsibility for each island.
