I am delighted to report that this indeed has been the case for the year under review. Our total giving went up by 10% to £18.2m, the most we have ever given and the number of awards made rose by 7% to a record 742. The breakdown of this received over 7000 visitors last year.

However, the vast majority of Kenneth Ferguson our awards were much smaller but no less Director important at an average of £7k.

  • On the Study and Promotion of Drama in Scottish Gaelic Sìm Innes
    Editorial: On the study and promotion of drama in Scottish Gaelic Sìm Innes (University of Glasgow) and Michelle Macleod (University of Aberdeen), Guest-Editors We are very grateful to the editors of the International Journal of Scottish Theatre and Screen for allowing us the opportunity to guest-edit a special volume about Gaelic drama. The invitation came after we had organised two panels on Gaelic drama at the biennial Gaelic studies conference, Rannsachadh na Gàidhlig, at the University Edinburgh 2014. We asked the contributors to those two panels to consider developing their papers and submit them to peer review for this special edition: each paper was read by both a Gaelic scholar and a theatre scholar and we are grateful to them for their insight and contributions. Together the six scholarly essays and one forum interview in this issue are the single biggest published work on Gaelic drama to date and go some way to highlighting the importance of this genre within Gaelic society. In 2007 Michelle Macleod and Moray Watson noted that ‘few studies of modern Gaelic drama’ (Macleod and Watson 2007: 280) exist (prior to that its sum total was an unpublished MSc dissertation by Antoinette Butler in 1994 and occasional reviews): Macleod continued to make the case in her axiomatically entitled work ‘Gaelic Drama: The Forgotten Genre in Gaelic Literary Studies’. (Dymock and McLeod 2011) More recently scholarship on Gaelic drama has begun to emerge and show, despite the fact that it had hitherto been largely neglected in academic criticism, that there is much to be gained from in-depth study of the genre.

  • A Doll's House
    The National Theatre of Scotland and Royal Lyceum Theatre present SCOTTISH PREMIERE A Doll’s House By Henrik Ibsen, in a version by Zinnie Harris Directed by Graham McLaren Set Design by Robert Innes Hopkins, Lighting Design by Tim Mitchell, Sound Design by Nick Sagar Cast includes: Robert Cavanah, Brian McCardie, Lucianne McEvoy, Kevin McMonagle, Amy Manson, Sharon Young At the Royal Lyceum Theatre, Edinburgh from 16 April to 4 May 2013 Press Performance: Wednesday 17 April at 7.45pm Following the success of the critically acclaimed production The Guid Sisters in 2012, the National Theatre of Scotland is delighted to be working in partnership again with the Royal Lyceum Theatre, Edinburgh to bring this new version of Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House to the Scottish stage for the first time. A stellar cast of Scottish performers has been assembled, with the lead role of Nora being played by Amy Manson. This will mark Amy’s return to the Lyceum, where she won Best Performance (Female) in 2008 for her role in Six Characters in Search of an Author at the Critics' Awards for Theatre in Scotland. Since then she has gone on to enjoy success in British film and television. A Doll’s House caused outrage both in its style and content when first staged in 1879. Zinnie Harris has transposed her version from late 19th-century Norway to Edwardian London and shifted the tale of intrigue, fraud and betrayal from the world of finance to that of politics. Her version has strong contemporary resonances, revealing a world where duty, power and hypocrisy rule, and brings modern sensibilities to bear on Nora’s marriage, at the heart of the play.

HOPE, K.C.S.I. 5 CLE. BOMBAY CIVIL SERVICE (RETIRED) PRINTED FOR PRIVATE CIRCULATION '9°3 PREFACE In 1894 I was called upon by some members of the Fulton family, to which my mother and my wife belonged, for information as to their pedigree, and it gradually came about that, with their general consent and at the desire of Mr. Ashworth P. Burke, I revised the proofs of the account given in Burke's Colonial Gentry, published in 1895, ar) d eventually compiled the fuller and more accurate notice in Burke's Landed Gentry of Great Britain and Ireland, edition of 1898, Vol. II., Ireland, pp. 156-58. In the researches thus necessitated, a large number of incidents, dates, alliances, etc., came to light which were inadmissible into the formal Pedigree which was proved and recorded by the Heralds' College in the last-mentioned year, and could not be given within the limits (very liberal though they were) prescribed by Mr. Burke. To preserve, without intolerable prolixity, all available information, is the object of the following pages. The materials for this task originally at my disposal, in addition to the first notice in the Landed Gentry of 1862, consisted only of (1) a letter and some brief memoranda in the hand- writing of my uncle, John Williamson Fulton, with corrections thereon by his sister, Anne Hope (my mother), and a letter of hers to me, all falling within the period 1861-63, and (2) a long detailed account up to the then date which he dictated to me at Braidujle House in September 1872, with copies of McVeigh, Camac, Casement and Robinson pedigrees, which he then allowed me to make.

  • Duchal Castle: an Initial Survey Derek Alexander
    RLHF Journal Vol.5 (1993) 4. Duchal Castle: an Initial Survey Derek Alexander Aim of study The intention of this study was to record the physical remains of Duchal Castle and provide a brief summary of its history. Very little of the castle survives to any great height, and so it has drawn little detailed examination in the past. However, the deteriorating condition of some of the wall faces meant that they should be planned and recorded before what little architectural detail they did contain was lost forever. Location (Illustration 1) Duchal Castle is located 5km south-west of Kilmacolm on the western side of Strathgryffe. It lies beside the minor road that runs southwards, through Green Farm, off the B788 Kilmacolrn - Greenock road. The castle itself sits on a promontory 110m north of the confluence of the Green Water and the Blacketty Water which flow down the north-east and south-west sides of the castle respectively. The promontory is formed by an igneous rock outcrop, flanked by gullies c. 8m deep, through which the rivers flow. Interestingly the castle does not sit in a prominent position in the landscape but is in the bottom of a natural depression, surrounded by higher ground on all but the south-east side. It appears that the position was chosen for its inaccessible, defensive qualities.
