  • National Collecting Scheme Scotland National
    National Collecting Scheme Scotland National Collecting Scheme Scotland is an initiative that supports public collections across Scotland to acquire and present challenging contemporary visual art. The initiative also seeks to enable curators within those organisations to extend their knowledge and understanding of contemporary visual arts, and to develop their engagement with the visual arts sector in Scotland. Scotland is home to some very fine public collections, which are of local, national and international significance. It is the aim of the NCSS that those public collections are able to reflect the range and vibrancy of contemporary art created here and abroad, that they can help build new audiences for the contemporary visual arts, as well as engage and work with artists and visual arts organisations. Some facts : • NCSS is an initiative of the Scottish Arts Council. • Currently NCSS has seven museum partners. These are Aberdeen Art Gallery, McManus Galleries, Dundee, Edinburgh City Art Centre, Gallery of Modern Art, Glasgow, Hunterian Art Gallery, Paisley Museum and Art Gallery, and the Pier Arts Centre, Orkney. • In its first phase - 2003-2006 - NCSS enabled a total of 122 acquisitions by six public collections (including craft in its first phase). In 2007-2008 a further 18 works of visual art have been acquired. The Scottish Arts Council will support further acquisitions in 2008-2009. • NCSS member were also involved in an innovative joint commissioning project – the first of its kind in the UK. They collaborated to commission Joanne Tatham & Tom O’Sullivan to create a substantial and ambitious new work of art for Scotland • Aberdeen Art Gallery hosted the Scotland & Venice exhibition December 2007- January 2008.

  • The House at 4 the Esplanade
    THE HOUSE AT 4 THE ESPLANADE Introduction In the notes which follow I will try to set out something of the history of the house now known as 4 The Esplanade and its immediate environs: the ground identified on the Feuing Plan of Part of Broughty Ferry Links belonging to the Dundee and Arbroath Railway Company 1859. The Feuing of the Ground and the Building of the House at 1 and 2 Seward Place In 1872 the land on which 4 The Esplanade now stands was bought from the Scottish North Eastern Railway Company (SNER) by William Black and his wife Mary (nee Easton) who were then living across the water in Tayport. SNER was formed when the Aberdeen Railway Company amalgamated with the Scottish Midland Junction Railway Company on 29 July 1856. On 31 January 1862, the SNER took over the Dundee and Arbroath Railway; and the resultant company was absorbed by the Caledonian Railway on 10 August 1866. Feudal tenure, a system of land ownership with its roots in the 12th century, was an important part of land use planning in the nineteenth century. The most common form of feudal condition was the obligation to pay a sum of money annually to the superior: the feu duty. Other conditions could place constraints on the use of the land or buildings often in order to harmonise the appearance of a street or housing development. The land purchased by the Blacks formed part of some 12 acres of ground bought by SNER from the estate of David Hunter, 8 th Laird of Burnside who had laid out the plan for the New Town.
