    Albert Irvin, Beacon II, 1994 Acrylic on canvas 186 x 160cm [detail] Albert Irvin Albert Irvin OBE RA was born in 1922 in London, where he continued to live and work throughout his life. In the early 1940’s Irvin attended Northampton School of Art. His studies were interrupted when he was called up, serving as a navigator in the Royal Air Force during the Second World War. After the war ended he enrolled at Goldsmiths College in London to resume his studies. In 1962, he returned to Goldsmiths where he taught for twenty years. He also taught as visiting lecturer at art colleges throughout Britain. Irvin’s first solo exhibition was in 1960 at 57 Gallery, Edinburgh followed by New Art Centre in London in 1963 and 1965. He went on to exhibit extensively throughout Europe, the USA and Australia. A major retrospective of his work from 1960 to 1989 was held at the Serpentine Gallery, London in 1990. Irvin was awarded a Travel Award to America by the Arts Council in 1968 and later received an Arts Council Major Award In 1970 he moved into his Studio in Stepney Green and continued travelling to work there from his home at least 3 times a week into his 90s.

  • THE PINNING STONES Culture and Community in Aberdeenshire
    THE PINNING STONES Culture and community in Aberdeenshire When traditional rubble stone masonry walls were originally constructed it was common practice to use a variety of small stones, called pinnings, to make the larger stones secure in the wall. This gave rubble walls distinctively varied appearances across the country depend- ing upon what local practices and materials were used.

    HISTORIC ENVIRONMENT SCOTLAND REGISTER OF ASSETS Last updated 12 July 2021 About Historic Environment Scotland and our assets We are a non-departmental public body (NDPB) with charitable status, formed in 2015 as the lead public body for Scotland’s historic environment. Our core purpose and functions are: • To act as the lead public body on matters relating to Scotland’s historic environment • To support and enable partners, stakeholders, communities and individuals to fulfil their roles in investigating, protecting and celebrating our heritage • To act as guardian of Scotland’s historic environment • To deliver public benefit from the activities of the body. A significant part of our work is to care for more than three hundred Properties in Care on behalf of Scottish Ministers. These include castles, tower houses, brochs, stone circles, abbeys and other historic or archaeological monuments in Scotland. We maintain and operate these sites as visitor attractions, and this is part of our core function. Many of the Properties in Care are owned or leased by Scottish Ministers, meaning they are eligible for Asset Transfer. However, a large proportion of these properties are in private or charitable ownership and we look after these under a Deed of Guardianship. Please Note - Those properties are not eligible for Asset Transfer because they are not publically-owned or leased. We provide details of all the eligible land and buildings in our Register of Assets, listed in this document by Council area. The land and buildings that Historic Environment Scotland owns or leases are ancillary properties such as car parks and works depots, visitor centres and outbuildings.

    The Leith School of Art 25 North Junction Street Edinburgh EH6 6HW Telephone: 0131 554 5761 Web: www.LeithSchoolofArt.co.uk Email: [email protected] Leith School of Art – appointment of Principal A welcome from the Chair of the Board of Directors Thank you for your interest in Leith School of Art and in our search for a new Principal. As you delve into the following pages I hope you will gain a sense of what makes Leith School of Art unique and this vacancy so special. Leith School of Art is held in great respect by artists far and wide and in genuine affection by all who are associated with it. Leith means a great deal in different ways to different people of course, but if two things stand out it is the excellence of the teaching and the sense of community and support that surrounds it. There are many who can describe the experience of studying at Leith as life-changing, whether as a springboard to an artistic career or privately as a way to find, or rediscover, fulfilment, self-connection and expression. Our means-tested Assisted Places and Community Classes open the door to many for whom the opportunity to learn about art and design would be beyond reach on cost grounds. With the forthcoming retirement of our current Principal, we are at a highly significant transition in the story of Leith School of Art, and this is a very exciting opportunity for an artist with a passion and vision for art education to play a leading role in shaping the next chapter.

  • Education Scotland Report June 2016
    Review of private Further Education colleges and English Language Schools Leith School of Art 1 June 2016 The review process This review report follows the quality framework for the review arrangements for private further education colleges and English language Schools in Scotland, April 2012. The review normally lasts for three days. Over the three-day period, the review team: engage with learners; observe episodes of learning and teaching and provide feedback to each member of teaching staff or other learning facilitator on strengths and areas for further development; conduct interviews and undertake other activity required to determine the extent of concordance between documentary evidence and practice; evaluate evidence against the 11 reference quality indicators; and identify key strengths and areas for further development for the organisation. Education Scotland is an approved educational oversight body authorised by the Home Office to inspect private further education colleges and English language Schools in Scotland. Reviews are arranged under three high-level questions which Education Scotland is adopting for evaluative purposes: How well are learners progressing and achieving relevant, high quality outcomes? How effective are the organisation’s learning and teaching processes? How effective are the organisation’s leadership and quality culture? Education Scotland reviews are designed to: support and promote quality enhancement in organisations to provide the best possible experience for the learner; provide information to the Home Office, when required, on the quality of organisations and the learning experience they provide; provide an independent evaluation to assist organisations in informing prospective and current learners of the quality of the organisation’s and services; evaluate organisations against the Education Scotland quality framework, March 2012; and complement organisation-led internal review and self-evaluation.
