  • 'The Neo-Avant-Garde in Modern Scottish Art, And
    ‘THE NEO-AVANT-GARDE IN MODERN SCOTTISH ART, AND WHY IT MATTERS.’ CRAIG RICHARDSON DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (BY PUBLISHED WORK) THE SCHOOL OF FINE ART, THE GLASGOW SCHOOL OF ART 2017 1 ‘THE NEO-AVANT-GARDE IN MODERN SCOTTISH ART, AND WHY IT MATTERS.’ Abstract. The submitted publications are concerned with the historicisation of late-modern Scottish visual art. The underpinning research draws upon archives and site visits, the development of Scottish art chronologies in extant publications and exhibitions, and builds on research which bridges academic and professional fields, including Oliver 1979, Hartley 1989, Patrizio 1999, and Lowndes 2003. However, the methodology recognises the limits of available knowledge of this period in this national field. Some of the submitted publications are centred on major works and exhibitions excised from earlier work in Gage 1977, and Macmillan 1994. This new research is discussed in a new iteration, Scottish art since 1960, and in eight other publications. The primary objective is the critical recovery of little-known artworks which were formed in Scotland or by Scottish artists and which formed a significant period in Scottish art’s development, with legacies and implications for contemporary Scottish art and artists. This further serves as an analysis of critical practices and discourses in late-modern Scottish art and culture. The central contention is that a Scottish neo-avant-garde, particularly from the 1970s, is missing from the literature of post-war Scottish art. This was due to a lack of advocacy, which continues, and a dispersal of knowledge. Therefore, while the publications share with extant publications a consideration of important themes such as landscape, it reprioritises these through a problematisation of the art object.

  • Histoire Des Collections Numismatiques Et Des Institutions Vouées À La Numismatique
    HISTOIRE DES COLLECTIONS NUMISMATIQUES ET DES INSTITUTIONS VOUÉES À LA NUMISMATIQUE Numismatic Collections in Scotland Scotland is fortunate in possessing two major cabinets of international signifi- cance. In addition over 120 other institutions, from large civic museums to smaller provincial ones, hold collections of coins and medals of varying size and impor- tance. 1 The two main collections, the Hunterian held at the University of Glasgow, and the national collection, housed at the National Museums of Scotland in Edinburgh, nicely complement each other. The former, based on the renowned late 18th centu- ry cabinet of Dr. William Hunter, contains an outstanding collection of Greek and Roman coins as well as important groups of Anglo-Saxon, medieval and later English, and Scottish issues along with a superb holding of medals. The National Museums of Scotland house the largest and most comprehensive group of Scottish coins and medals extant. Each collection now numbers approximately 70,000 speci- mens. The public numismatic collections from the rest of Scotland, though perhaps not so well known, are now recorded to some extent due to a National Audit of the coun- try’s cultural heritage held by museums and galleries carried out by the Scottish Museums Council in 2001 on behalf of the Scottish Government. 2 Coins and Medals was one of 20 collections types included in the questionnaire, asking for location, size and breakdown into badges, banknotes, coins, medals, tokens, and other. Over 12 million objects made up what was termed the Distributed National Collection, of which 3.3% consisted of approximately 68,000 coins and medals in the National Museums concentrated in Edinburgh and 345,000 in the non-nationals throughout the rest of the country.

    Retour ISSUE No. 31 The Newsletter of ISSN 1479-9634 SPRING 2019 The Scottish Records Association Katrine Aqueduct Photographs Discovered A forgotten treasure trove of Victorian photographs showing the construction of parts of one of Scotland’s most important pieces of infrastructure has been unearthed. Katrine tunnelling 1892, courtesy of Scottish Water. The Katrine Aqueduct, which takes water to treatment works that supply 1.3 million people in Glasgow and west central Scotland, was built in the Victorian era to help transform the health of citizens, and continues in full use to this day. The recently-discovered photographs provide a fascinating insight into the mega-structure which was officially opened by Queen Victoria almost 160 years ago in October 1859. They include remarkable images of pioneers boring through rocky mountainsides with drills during the construction of the 23.5 mile-long second aqueduct. Work began on this in 1885 and it was completed in 1901 to increase capacity and meet demand as the population of Glasgow burgeoned to more than one million. (continued on page 2) Also in this issue: News (pages 1-14) Feature articles (pages 15-17) Publications and Exhibitions (pages 18-22) Palaeography (pages 23-24 Association news (pages 25-28) The Scottish Records Association is a registered Scottish charity: SC008896 News The aqueduct scheme, comprising the two aqueducts, takes water by gravity from Loch Katrine to the Milngavie and Balmore water treatment works before it is distributed to customers across a large swathe of Glasgow and west central Scotland. The first aqueduct includes tunnels through mountainous terrain in the shadow of Ben Lomond and bridges over the valleys.

  • Beads, Bawbees and Banknotes – Links to Curriculum for Excellence
    Beads, Bawbees and Banknotes – Links to Curriculum for Excellence From the outset, the principles of Curriculum for Excellence were considered while developing the resource. More flexibility, more choice... We hope that the flexible structure of Beads, Bawbees and Banknotes will allow teachers and pupils to adapt the content to meet their needs and interests. The four capacities The varied content offers scope to develop many of the attributes and capabilities of the four capacities. The resource is designed to: encourage enquiry; provoke thought; stimulate discussion; make connections; develop knowledge and understanding of the world; inspire creativity; and promote problem solving… An interdisciplinary approach CfE aims to create better links between subjects so that pupils find learning more useful, relevant and motivating – both at school and for their future lives. Beads, Bawbees and Banknotes approaches the topic of money from various angles, and can support study in many curriculum areas. A few suggestions are provided below. Many of these are illustrated in slide-show format under Social Studies Beads, Bawbees and Banknotes offers pupils the chance to develop their understanding of the history, heritage and culture of Scotland, as well as to broaden their geographical and economic knowledge of the world. The resource has a distinctly Scottish slant. Heads and Tails, Making Notes and Kists and Keys all explore aspects of Scotland's financial heritage. Setting the Scene introduces the history of Scottish banking and reveals the story behind one of Edinburgh's most prominent landmarks – the Bank of Scotland Head Office. Insights gained into the role of money in society can help to develop an understanding of economy and business.

  • 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.

  • Must Visit Attractions in Edinburgh"
    "Must Visit Attractions in Edinburgh" Gecreëerd door : Cityseeker 12 Locaties in uw favorieten Royal Mile "The Famous Scots Mile" The core of Edinburgh's historic Old Town, the Royal Mile begins at Edinburgh Castle, making its way down the volcanic hill to the Palace of Holyroodhouse. Along the way are numerous historic icons and modern- day attractions, hidden gems tucked away down narrow closes interlinked with stairways that lead to an underground maze of wonders. From the by liakada-web mysteries of the Real Mary King Close and the panoramic views afforded by the Camera Obscura to the Scottish Whiskey Experience and the Parliament Buildings, both old and new, the Royal Mile encompasses the heritage of Scotland in a single Scots mile. The Royal Mile is actually made up of four successive streets, namely, Castlehill, Lawnmarket, High Street and Cannongate, lined with restaurants and boutiques that offer regional specialties. Other attractions include the People's Story Museum, St. Giles Cathedral and the Museum of Childhood. A visit to Edinburgh is simply incomplete without a walk down the Royal Mile. +44 131 473 3666 (Tourist Information) edinburgh.org/discover/explore- Royal Mile, Edinburg areas/the-royal-mile/ Saint Giles' Cathedral "Ancient Scottish History & Architecture" An outstanding exemplar of Gothic architecture, this cathedral looms large above Edinburgh's Old Town, calling attention with its grand crown steeple. The church is steeped in a long and storied history that began nearly a millennia ago. Although there has been a church on this site since 1854, the earliest remains to be found in St Giles' Cathedral are four pillars by Carlos Delgado which date from about 1120.

The hill is also the location of several iconic monuments and buildings: the National Monument, the Nelson Monument, the Dugald Stewart Monument, the old Royal High School, the Robert Burns Monument, the Political Martyrs’ Monument and the City Observatory. The future of the derelict Old Royal High School is currently under debate. Rival proposals of a hotel by Hoskins Architects and a music school by Richard Murphy Architects have ignited fierce debate. Hopefully one of these proposals will give this impressive building a new lease of life. Collective Architecture has undertaken conservation work on the dome atop Calton Hill, enabling the structure to be opened to the public once again for art exhibitions and performances. The A-listed building is currently home to Collective gallery. From the summit of Calton Hill on a clear day you can see the wind turbines in Fife, contributing to the high percentage of renewable energy generated in Scotland. Also visible is the Scottish Parliament which achieved a BREEAM ‘Excellent’ rating when it was opened. It is heated by a combined heat and power plant and has 40m2 of solar panels.
