The Old and New Towns of Edinburgh World Heritage Site Management Plan
The Old and New Towns of Edinburgh World Heritage Site Management Plan July 2005 Prepared by Edinburgh World Heritage on behalf of the Scottish Ministers, the City of Edinburgh Council and the Minister for Media and Heritage Foreword en years on from achieving World Heritage Site status we are proud to present Edinburgh’s first World Heritage Site Management Plan. The Plan provides a framework T for conservation in the heart of Scotland’s capital city. The preparation of a plan to conserve this superb ‘world’ city is an important step on a journey which began when early settlers first colonised Castle Rock in the Bronze Age, at least 3,000 years ago. Over three millennia, the city of Edinburgh has been shaped by powerful historical forces: political conflict, economic hardship, the eighteenth century Enlightenment, Victorian civic pride and twentieth century advances in science and technology. Today we have a dynamic city centre, home to 24,000 people, the work place of 50,000 people and the focus of a tourism economy valued at £1 billion per annum. At the beginning of this new millennium, communication technology allows us to send images of Edinburgh’s World Heritage Site instantly around the globe, from the broadcasted spectacle of a Festival Fireworks display to the personal message from a visitor’s camera phone. It is our responsibility to treasure the Edinburgh World Heritage Site and to do so by embracing the past and enhancing the future. The World Heritage Site is neither a museum piece, nor a random collection of monuments. It is today a complex city centre which daily absorbs the energy of human endeavour. -
Government Art Collection Annual Report 2015-2016
Annual Report 2015-2016 Contents 2 3 Director’s Report 8 Acquisitions 15 List of works lent to public exhibitions 17 List of long-term loans outside Government 23 Advisory Committee members 24 GAC staff Cover Image: Andy Goldsworthy working on the re-installation of Slate Cone at the British Embassy, Copenhagen Director’s Report 3 This year has been another busy one for the Government Art Collection (GAC) with a wide range of activities and events. We continue to emphasise the broader diplomatic function that art can play by selecting works that link Britain with the rest of the world in embassies and diplomatic buildings abroad, which this year included Copenhagen, Cairo and Moscow. Acquisitions Outset/Government Art Collection Fund This year saw the establishment of a new partnership, the Outset/ Government Art Collection Fund. Founded in 2003, Outset is an independent international organisation that supports new art within the public arena through private funding. The aim of the Fund is to add 12 important new works of art to the Collection over three years. The first work given to the GAC as a result of the Fund was a large-scale photograph by Isaac Julien, followed by an acrylic painting on vintage textile by Shezad Dawood. Aside from the Outset/GAC Fund acquisitions, other new works were acquired, including an abstract painting by the late Jon Thompson, an oil painting by Dexter Dalwood and a portfolio of 20 prints including Gillian Ayres, Gordon Cheung and Howard Hodgkin. We also purchased a rare historical portrait of King Henry VIII by an Unknown 16th-Century Anglo-Flemish artist. -

Origins of Grosvenor House
Origins of Grosvenor House Until the 1730s, the site on which the Grosvenor House Hotel now stands was meadow and pasture land. The land was owned by the Grosvenor family, early property developers who eventually became the richest urban landlords in England. With their financial success came social advancement and in 1874 the head of the Grosvenor family was created the first Duke of Westminster by Queen Victoria. The first building on the site was a large detached house located on the south side of Upper Grosvenor Street, and its first owner was Lord Chetwynd. The house passed through several owners, including the Duke of Cumberland, son of King George II and commander at the Battle of Culloden (1746). The Duke of Gloucester, brother of King George III, acquired the house in the 1760s and lived there for 40 years. The house became known as Gloucester House. The property changed hands again in 1806 when Lord Grosvenor purchased it. When he moved in, in 1808, the house was re-named Grosvenor House. It remained the Grosvenor family’s London home for over 100 years. At the outbreak of the First World War in 1914, the house was put at the disposal of the Government, and occupied by the Food Controller’s Department until 1920. By then the Duke of Westminster had decided not to re-occupy the house, so it was sold. The purchaser was a commercial speculator Mr A.O. Edwards. It was Edwards who built what is now the Grosvenor House Hotel between 1927 and 1929. Building the Hotel Alfred Octavius Edwards, founder and chairman of Doncaster-based Edcaster Ltd, acquired the lease of Grosvenor House in 1925 and formed a company, Grosvenor House Ltd, to develop the site. -
Scotland's Devolved Settlement and the Role of the Courts
Scotland’s Devolved Settlement and the Role of the Courts The Inaugural Dover House Lecture, London Lord Reed, Deputy President of the Supreme Court 27 February 2019 It is a great pleasure for me to deliver this inaugural Dover House Lecture at the invitation of the Advocate General for Scotland. Dover House has meant something to me since my childhood, as my father worked here from time to time when I was growing up. It also has its place in history, not least as the home of the future Prime Minister Lord Melbourne and his wayward wife, Lady Caroline Lamb, and the place where from time to time she entertained her lover Lord Byron. I have a dim recollection of being told that there was competition among the Scottish ministers as to who would sleep in Lady Caroline’s bedroom, possibly in the hope that Lady Caroline would appear, preferably while they were there. I don’t doubt that in my father’s time there were some alarming things that appeared in Dover House, but sadly the ghost of Lady Caroline Lamb was not amongst them. Dover House has been the London base of the Scottish Office, now re-named the Scotland Office, since 1885. The Scottish law officers used to have their own separate base in Carlton Gardens, where I worked myself from time to time when I was at the Bar, and which I happily remember under the name by which we knew it, Sleepy Valley. The Scottish law officers unfortunately lost it as a consequence of devolution, but the Advocate General has more palatial premises here at Dover House, even if he does have to share them with the Secretary of State. -
