46. Gaelic In Scottish History And Culture The text of a book by Michael Newton, published in 1997. A resourceful analysis of the position of Scots Gaelic throughout its history and how, from being the language of the Scottish Court, it lost ground to such an extent that by the eighteenth century it was no longer recognised as the National Language of scotland, but rather the language of the Highlands alone. Micheal Newton also addresses other topics related to Scottish culture such as music and folklore, using this to develop the essential criteria as to why Gaelic does matter in today's world. http://www.rfs.scotshome.com/

It is that momentum which drives it in a certain direction according to its own set of principles and priorities. All the aspects of culture - belief systems, political ideologies, language, the arts, practices of birth, marriage and death, economics and consumption - inter-relate and are locked together into an interdependent web. Not a strand of the web can be moved or altered without changing the entire pattern. We might further visualise the multi-dimensional parameters of culture extending as a set of concentric circles, moving out from the nuclear family, to the extended family, to the community, to the region, to the nation, and so on.

Projects Scotland's Culture The Scottish Cultural portal or Scotland's Culture is a pilot project scheduled to run for 18-24 months. The project is funded by the Scottish Executive. The concept for a cultural portal for Scotland first arose in the Scottish Executive's " Creating our future....minding our past ". The strategy outlined the Scottish Executive's vision of access for all to information and resources through electronic means, arguing that culture in all its forms can stimulate and support lifelong learning, encourage community involvement and help minimise exclusion be it social, rural or digital. The Scottish Library and Information Council were successful in their bid to develop an online service for the Scottish Executive, keeping the aforementioned needs in mind. The objectives for the project are to provide a robust searching mechanism for accessing printed and electronic information about Scottish Culture. This information is held in a wide range of places such as libraries, museums and archives and culturally significant resources identified by the portal team which are available on the internet. The project wishes to acts as a focus for cultural development.

Information Scotland The Journal of the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals in Scotland ISSN 1743-5471 Issue contents Journal contents About the online edition of the journal December 2003 Volume 1 (6) News feature Scotland's portal Stephen Winch describes the major new portal from SLIC and the Scottish Executive which gives easy access to resources on Scotland's rich culture. SLIC, in partnership with the Scottish Executive, has launched a new web service that will provide access to electronic and print resources relating to Scottish culture. The service is still in a pilot phase, but has already developed an infrastructure that, it is hoped, will develop into a comprehensive gateway to Scottish cultural information. In November 2002 the Scottish Executive commissioned SLIC to develop a cultural web portal for Scotland. The concept for the project developed from the Executive's report Creating our future... ...minding our past, which stated the Executive's vision for access for all to information and resources through electronic means. The report argued that culture in all its forms can stimulate and support lifelong learning, encourage community involvement and participation. The pilot project to develop the portal runs for two years and aims to create a service that will: act as a one stop shop for information on Scottish cultural matters by acting as a gateway to information on a wide range of cultural resources, in print, audio visual and electronic formats.

50. Scotland's National Cultural Strategy: Page 3 scotland s culture is dynamic and diverse. It has developed and been shaped overmany This strategy therefore takes a broad view of scotland s culture. http://www.scotland.gov.uk/nationalculturalstrategy/docs/cult-03.asp

Non-Graphical version Scotland's National Cultural Strategy SCOTLAND'S CULTURE A diverse but unique tradition Scotland's culture is dynamic and diverse. It has developed and been shaped over many years by the experiences of Scotland's inhabitants and their contacts with others. Culture is notoriously difficult to define. Creating Our Future: Minding Our Past has been guided by a broad definition, in line with that adopted in 1982 by the UNESCO World Conference on Cultural Policies. 'In its widest sense, culture may now be said to be the whole complex of distinctive spiritual, material, intellectual and emotional features that characterise a society or group. It includes not only the arts and letters, but also modes of life, the fundamental rights of the human beings, value systems, traditions and beliefs.' The creators of Scotland's culture A wide range of people have key roles in presenting and representing culture, including artists, performers, poets, writers, architects, film-makers, sportspeople, broadcasters, journalists, advertisers, commentators, teachers, historians, curators, archivists and librarians. The experience and history of all Scotland's citizens are the key ingredients which make our culture distinctively Scottish. Innovation: creativity in action Scotland's culture is dynamic and its capacity to respond to new influences and to integrate them with existing traditions has been an enduring strength. Many of the most recognisable symbols of Scotland's culture, such as piping and other traditional arts, had their origins in other countries. At the same time, ideas and techniques originating in Scotland continue to have an extraordinary influence throughout the world. The ability to adopt and adapt, allied to a capacity for innovation, mean that Scotland is well placed to respond to the accelerating trend towards globalisation while maintaining a culture which remains modern, distinctive and relevant to the experience of Scots.

52. Celebrating Scotland: A National Cultural Strategy scotland s culture belongs to all the people of scotland. It belongs to anybodywho creates, scotland has a distinct and valuable cultural identity http://www.scotland.gov.uk/nationalculturalstrategy/docs/csnse-00.htm

Celebrating Scotland 'We believe that arts and culture have a central role in shaping a sense of community and civic pride in the new Scotland.' This is a key element of Partnership for Scotland, the statement which forms the basis for the Scottish Executive's programme for the next four years. Introduction From Robert Louis Stevenson to Janice Galloway; Robert Burns to Sorley MacLean; Allan Ramsay to Elizabeth Blackadder; Niel Gow to Aly Bain; Mary Garden to Shirley Manson; Robert Adam to Charles Rennie Macintosh; Bill Douglas to Lynne Ramsay; Scotland's creative figures have profoundly influenced how Scotland and the Scots are perceived. Scotland's culture belongs to all the people of Scotland. It belongs to anybody who creates, designs or performs: Scotland's writers and painters, architects and craftworkers, musicians and composers, actors and dancers and, more recently, film directors and television producers. It also belongs to all of us who enjoy films and plays; who listen or dance to music of any kind; who go to a museum or an art gallery or a library; who visit Scotland's many historic buildings or monuments, or appreciate its architecture. Today's Scotland is a rich mixture of cultures, which vary across its contrasting landscape and according to age and differing backgrounds. As we turn a new page in Scotland's history, the Scottish Executive intends to prepare a national strategy to promote and develop Scotland's culture in the new millennium.
