     Extractions: Bridget McConnell, Director of Cultural and Leisure Services, Glasgow City Council The underpinning themes of the talk related to issues of increasing access to Arts and Culture in Scotland. Culture also incorporates heritage, which is clearly of huge importance in shaping the new post-devolution Scotland. The talk addressed the role of education in broadening access to arts and culture, and the role of arts and culture in creating a more civil society. It also covered the key influences on cultural policy over recent years and the future direction of policy in Scotland. The issues of cultural diversity and antiracism, including contemporary issues surrounding sectarianism and bigotry, were of central focus. Cultural services have an important role to play in tackling the prevalence of racist attitudes in Scotland, as indicated by a number of recent surveys, and feature in Scottish Executive strategies and campaigns to tackle racism. In this context, celebration of the multi-cultural heritage which makes up contemporary Scottish culture is hugely important for a devolved and outward-looking Scotland, and for a sense of national and local identity. One of the central claims of the paper was that the future of Scotland's culture has to be rooted in a multi-cultural context.

Chianti, Culture and Chips Originally from Aberdeen Ian has lived in Glasgow since 1973, and has moved on from his career as a history lecturer to become a prolific and successful writer. He has drawn on his extensive walking and mountaineering experiences to produce a number of books. Combining a steady output with quality Ian has achieved a number of awards and his work has generated many rave reviews, leading him to be described as "one of Scotland's most distinguished mountain writers" (The Great Outdoors) Ian took to the hills and mountains in the 60s when he began walking and climbing in the Cairngorms. He moved on to other countries to discover the outdoors of Norway, the Austrian Alps, Iceland and the Pyrenees, as well as the Caucasus and the Rockies of Canada and the USA. In 1991 he completed the Munros. His extensive knowledge of the outdoors and passion for the Scottish Mountains is matched by his writing skills. Ian's first book (co-author Dave Brown) 'Mountain Days and Bothy Nights' has become a classic of the genre and has been reprinted 12 times since it appeared in 1987. Its enduring appeal was demonstrated when it was shortlisted as the book "which says most about Scotland today" for World Book Day in 2003. In 1991, when 'A View from the Ridge' ( also co-authored with Dave Brown) won the Boardman-Tasker Prize for Mountain Literature, Ian's reputation as a mountaineering writer was truly established:

About Scottish Enterprise SDI Helpline From anywhere Home Services to Business International Locating in Scotland About Scotland > Culture Culture It could be argued that Scotland's national character has been shaped, more than any other factor, by our climate. In a land where nature can be as pitiless as it can be beautiful, the Scots are a hard-working people who, by and large, possess an intellectual rigour. Education has also contributed enormously to our national character. A good education is very highly prized in Scotland, and the emphasis of our educational system has for centuries been to produce a "lad o' pairts" - using a wide curriculum, stressing breadth as well as depth of knowledge. This approach promotes equality of opportunity, not equality itself - and fits very well with the Scots sense of social justice. School attendance has been compulsory since 1496 (almost 400 years longer than in England). As a result, Scotland today excels in the fields of biotechnology, astrophysics, micro- and optoelectronics and artificial intelligence, alongside its traditional strengths. And, as the country that gave the world television, the telephone, the fax, the photocopier, the first 3D computer game and Dolly the Sheep, Scotland continues to make an outstanding contribution to the world at large. A year of festivals Our party culture has also led to the flowering of a year-round programme of festivals and events that is quite astonishing for a comparatively small nation. The biggest, and best-known, is the Edinburgh International Festival, which takes place in the city each August.

     Extractions: faqs press discussion links ... help Culture Hebrides is the first site dedicated to the culture of the Outer Hebrides of Scotland, and one of the ten fascinating VisitHebrides.com websites! The Hebrides is the home of an unique spiritual, civilised culture, the true heartland of the Gaels and the Gaelic language. Hebridean communities are close knit, friendly and safe: more in tune with nature and relaxed and contented with the rhythm of life. People will go out of their way to help you and have the time to be genuinely interested in what you have to say. A lively and vibrant culture, the Hebridean Celtic Festival, Ceòlas Music Summer School, the Harris Arts Festival and Barra Live are pioneering events that attract people to the Hebrides from all over the world. Ceòlas is an annual summer festival in South Uist with expert tuition in piping, fiddling, singing, dancing and the Gaelic language. Though focusing on Hebridean tradition, Ceòlas also has a strong Cape Breton dimension. Gaelic culture taken to Cape Breton by emigrants from the Gaidhealtachd nearly 200 years ago survived there in relative isolation. Now Ceòlas provides a unique opportunity to bring it all 'back home'. Celebration of cultural links between music, song and dance, and across the north Atlantic, is the School's hallmark. Pure traditional music also lives on, with the local mods a focal point for junior and adult choirs, musicians, storytellers, poets and actors. Fans of the pipes can hear the Lewis Pipe Band as they parade through Stornoway town centre every Saturday evening in summer.

Scots came up with logarithms, the second law of thermodynamics and the laws of electrodynamics; they revolutionised steam power and invented bitumen, waterproofing, the telephone, the television and radar. Scots have been pioneers in anatomy, antiseptics and the development of penicillin. One of them, Adam Smith, even came up with the wacky idea of the invisible hand of capitalism. The Scots attribute this impressive roll call to the country's long-standing emphasis on a good education. It's probably true to say that religion has played a more influential part in the history of Scotland than it has in any other part of Britain. Christianity reached Scotland in the 4th century, and with the Reformation the Scottish Church rejected the Pope's authority. Later a schism developed amongst Scottish Protestants, the Presbyterians favouring a simplified church hierachy. Two-thirds of Scots belong to the Church of Scotland, although the more rigorous United Free Presbyterian church is more popular in the Highlands and Islands. There are large Catholic populations in Glasgow, and some of the islands were secretly converted to Catholicism after the Reformation. Although not remotely on the scale of Northern Ireland, sectarian tensions can be felt in Glasgow, especially when the Protestant Rangers play the Catholic Celtic.

     Extractions: News Archive 2000 July 3, 2000 The Scottish Museums Council Task Force has developed an ICT Strategy for Scotland's Museums which provides a strategic framework for development within the sector. Summary The strategy takes into account not only the work of the Task Force but also the Digital Scotland Task Force report ( http://www.scotland.gov.uk ) and discussions with SCRAN. The key components of the strategy are identified as infrastructure, content and training and skills development. In terms of infrastructure, the strategy identifies that the sector needs a commitment to funding infrastructure, as with the New Library network. This is wholly consistent with the Digital Task Force recommendations which highlight the scope for joint planning and procurement of network services. The SMC Task Force also repeats the call for a national policy for maintenance, integration and reinvestment and particularly the funding of a national metadata depository to ensure sustainable interoperability for future generations of electronic content. The strategy recognises museums pioneering work in high quality content creation but identifies the challenge is that of maintaining momentum across a choice of platforms. The drive towards content creation would be best achieved by developing centres of excellence and support: funding should be made available to leading edge providers not only to develop primary content, but to reinvest their expertise in the wider museum community developing and disseminating best practice. The strategy also makes key recommendations for lottery distributors and others which would increase the availability of high quality content particularly for educational use.

     Extractions: Coming Soon In Scotland, culture isn't just something that's served up in galleries and theatres. It's all around us on the streets, in public buildings and even on the motorways. There's a sense of playfulness and engagement here, bringing art to everyday life as well as improving the build environment. These projects put art such as glass, stone letter cutting and furniture into public buildings. Recent commissions include the massive Paolizzi sculptures at the top of Leith Walk in Edinburgh, The Unknown Poet (also in Edinburgh), Glasgow's elegiac fire-fighter on Gordon Street and the playful 'EMPIRE' sign in Glasgow's Merchant City, which curiously reads backwards from both sides. Other examples include The High Court in Edinburgh, and The High Court of the Justiciary in Glasgow.
