News | Tributes paid following death of Scotland’s ‘powerhouse’ curator Elspeth King – social historian remembered for her work to expand working-class collections at People’s Palace in Glasgow

Sharing the profile of Private Herbert Jubb yesterday got me thinking about the famous and very moving painting 'Gassed' by John Singer Sargent. On the IWM website there is a page and short film which tells you about its history, significance and restoration in 2023. www.iwm.org.uk/gassed-by-jo...

The Children's Tree 🖤 Saint Orso old #cemetery #31DaysOfGraves 27 • tree #ClassicMono

This is my new book (26/026). It's the 1st time in years that I'll be published as 'Shona' rather than 'S.G.'and I am very happy to be reclaiming my name. It's about a reading society formed in a northern Scottish town in the 1830s. Drama ensues. (My mother-in-law crocheted the shawl 🧶)

#31daysofgraves day 27 tree. Headstones to some of the many ASHfield families buried in Dunblane Cathedral graveyard. A couple of miles north of Dunblane, Ashfield was built by John Pullar of Perth, who bought the mill there in 1865, to house workers of what became his new silk-dyeing mill.

#31daysofgraves day 25 graveside ornament. Zero, not one, too old a graveyard at Dunblane Cathedral. However this image from one in the Dunblane Museum (an excellent place 😁) shows some immortelles. There a few images in their collection showing these so they must have been popular here in the day.

#31daysofgraves Day 24: Unique Animal. A pair of griffins (I think?) on the tablestone for Leonard Chester, 1648, in Wethersfield, Connecticut. It is one of the oldest dated gravestones in New England, and it was carved by my distant grandfather(s), Matthew and/or George Griswold.

#31daysofgraves Day 24 unique animal. Can only be this, one of my favourites, a unicorn in Dunblane Cathedral's graveyard. It has seen better days, but is now part of a group being cared for by HES' stone conservation team, who do an amazing job! We had at least one other unicorn, now gone.

Day 23 of #31DaysOfGraves - Cross A fine example of late-19th early-20thC Celtic Revival, when crosses, inspired by the magnificent Kildalton & St Martin's Crosses on Islay & Iona were in demand. This one's in Peebles, next to all that remains of the medieval St Andrew's Parish Church, its tower.

#31daysofgraves Day 23, cross. We have a few of the usual crosses in Dunblane Cathedral graveyard, so thought I would highlight this rather special one, made by monumental sculptor Peter Smith and designed by architect William Leiper.

#31DaysofGraves Day 23: Cross. Warriston is filled with crosses so I thought I'd focus specifically on Celtic ones. The Celtic cross is a form of ringed cross, a Christian cross featuring a nimbus or ring, that emerged in Ireland and Britain in the Early Middle Ages. #Edinburgh #CelticCross

#31DaysOfGraves Day22 Landscape Here, all our days are dominated by #PendleHill rising majestically from the #Landscape. It inspires and dominates, affects our weather, relieves our woes. And it's been here long before and will be here long after all of us. I'd rest very peacefully with this view.
