Mapping our permaculture smallholding in the Scottish Highlands | Vlog 3
Winter has arrived in the Scottish Highlands and I'm creating the base map of our new permaculture smallholding. I'll show you how I am attempting to map all the natural and manmade features around the farm without any newfangled technology. This will help up to design a self-sufficient food coop so we can have a more sustainable relationship with our food.

Edinburgh, Scotland
Edinburgh, Scotland is another one of Europe's truly great cities, a place noted for historic sites and modern culture that makes it one of the most popular destinations in the world.

Your visit to Edinburgh could be done comfortably in three days: on day one, Royal Mile and castle, day two, the busy shopping district of the New Town, historic neighborhoods and the National art museum; day three, to the Royal Yacht Britannia at waterfront Leith, National Museum of History and free time. Of course, in between all of these wonderful attractions your main activity is just the sheer pleasure of walking around in this beautiful city.
See our other movie featuring castle and royal yacht:
The main street that visitors love to see is the Royal Mile, loaded with shops, restaurants, statues, monuments, and great old buildings and lots of street entertainment to please the crowds.
The pub culture is alive and well here, a great place for a drink and to meet some locals. You can eat in a fancy restaurant from a variety of international cuisines. Or go casual with fish and chips.
And you can even stand up on the street and eat it like these young locals do.
Fish and chips has been a standard meal in Great Britain for over a hundred years and still very popular today. You can find it all over town. Perhaps not the healthiest meal, but very tasty and you don't have to dress up for dinner.
It seems that the Royal Mile is just one restaurant after another, mixed in with a few shops and old historic buildings. It is just the place to hang out when you're in Edinburgh.
Artwork of the Isles - Scottish painter George Denholm Armour
Music: Will you go, lassie, go.
George Denholm Armour was born in Waterside, Lanarkshire, Scotland on 30 January 1864. He grew up in Liverpool and went to school in Fife. He graduated from the University of St Andrews and the Edinburgh College of Art.
He moved to Tangiers, Morocco Robert Alexander (1840-1923) to paint and buy horses. When his money ran out, he moved to London and shared a studio with Phil May. He met Joseph Crawhall III on a hunting and painting holiday, and they both ran a stud farmhouse in Wheathampstead, Hertfordshire, England. In 1898, he got married, and Crawhall was his best man at the wedding. He did illustrations for The Graphic, Punch and Country Life.
In 1910, he studied military equestrianism at the Spanish Riding School in Vienna, Austria. In 1913, he became an honorary member of the Meadowbrook Polo Club. During the First World War, he commanded the remount depot in Salonika from 1917 to 1919. When his wife died in 1924, he remarried to Miss Violet Burton. They lived in Malmesbury. He became a member of the Royal Scottish Academy. He died in Wiltshire on 17 February 1949.
Some of his paintings are owned by the City of Glasgow, the National Trust, the Aberdeen Art Gallery, the National Galleries of Scotland and the University of Edinburgh. His painting, A Polo Match, was sold at Christie's in 1988.

2013 Rhind Lecture 2: Still looking to England by Richard Fawcett
‘magnificent for the beauty and extent of its buildings and worthy of everlasting fame’ - the architecture of the Scottish late medieval Church
The 2013 Rhind Lectures by Professor Richard Fawcett
3rd to 5th May 2013
Lecture 2: Still looking to England
When major church building became viable once again in the later fourteenth century, those responsible were forced to give very careful thought to where ideas should be sought in working out the most acceptable designs for their new churches. Scotland was now on very uneasy terms with England, the country with which it had previously enjoyed the closest architectural relationships. Beyond that, in the period since hostilities had broken out, that southern neighbour had developed a highly individual architectural idiom that was unlike what was to be seen elsewhere in Europe, and that must have seemed very alien to Scottish eyes. Nevertheless, with the start of rebuilding at the great abbey church of Melrose, it was decided to adopt that English idiom, almost certainly at the hands of a mason from south of the border. But this approach was soon to be abandoned at Melrose itself, and English ideas were to be followed at few other buildings.
Lecture 1 was not recorded due to a technical failure: Church architecture before the late 14th century
The revival of the Church in the early twelfth century had resulted in an extraordinary expansion of architectural activity. Under David I, in particular, a monarch with a close personal awareness of church building in England, many of the major new churches in the lowland areas must have been designed and built by masons from parts of England with which David was familiar. Although Scottish patrons and masons were soon to develop their own architectural preferences, there continued to be a close exchange of artistic ideas with the southern kingdom throughout the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. There was, however, to be a dramatic change following the outbreak of a devastatingly extended period of warfare in the 1290s, which limited architectural opportunities for many decades and then led on to a re-evaluation of artistic relationships.
The Lectures
The church architecture of late medieval Scotland is particularly fascinating because it is so unlike what is to be seen elsewhere, either within the British Isles or across continental Europe. Indeed, it can be argued that the buildings erected between the later years of the fourteenth century and the middle years of the sixteenth should be regarded as representing the first phase in the nation’s architectural history during which an approach to architectural design took shape that is uniquely Scottish. And yet, for all its distinctive appearance, it was certainly not the result of cultural isolation, but was instead the consequence of a new openness to a wide range of sources of inspiration, including many drawn from mainland Europe. In this series of lectures the likely origins of these ideas will be explored as a prelude to considering how an altogether original architectural synthesis emerged.
The Rhind Lecturer
Richard Fawcett, who is now a part-time professor in the School of Art History of the University of St Andrews, spent most of his career in the Inspectorate of Ancient Monuments of Historic Scotland, dealing with the conservation, interpretation and presentation of architectural monuments and buildings. While retaining wider interests, his present research is largely focused on the medieval architecture of Scotland, and especially on the sources of the ideas current in the later middle ages. He has published widely on many aspects of architectural history, and his most recent book is The Architecture of the Scottish Medieval Church (Yale University Press, 2011). He is Principal Investigator on the AHRC-funded Corpus of Scottish Medieval Parish Churches research project. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh and of the Societies of Antiquaries of London and Scotland. He was appointed OBE in 2008.
Recorded in the Royal Society of Edinburgh.

Walking up the Royal Mile, Edinburgh, Scotland.
The Royal Mile is a succession of streets forming the main thoroughfare of the Old Town of the city of Edinburgh in Scotland. The term was first used descriptively in W M Gilbert's Edinburgh in the Nineteenth Century (1901), ...with its Castle and Palace and the royal mile between, and was further popularised as the title of a guidebook, published in 1920.[1]
From the Castle gates to the Palace gates the street is almost exactly a mile (1.6 km) long and runs downhill between two significant locations in the royal history of Scotland, namely Edinburgh Castle and Holyrood Palace, hence its name. The streets which make up the Royal Mile are (west to east) Castlehill, the Lawnmarket, the High Street, the Canongate and Abbey Strand. The Royal Mile is the busiest tourist street in the Old Town, rivalled only by Princes Street in the New Town.
Retreating ice sheets, many millennia ago, deposited their glacial debris behind the hard volcanic plug of the castle rock on which Edinburgh Castle stands, resulting in a distinctive crag and tail formation. Running eastwards from the crag on which the castle sits, the Royal Mile sits upon the ridge of the tail which slopes gently down to Holyrood Palace. Steep closes (or alleyways) run between the many tall lands (or tenement buildings) off the main thoroughfare. The route runs from an elevation of 42 metres (138 ft) above sea level at the palace to 109 metres (358 ft) at the castle, giving an average gradient of 4.1%.
The Castle Esplanade was laid out as a parade ground, in 1753, using spoil from the building of the Royal Exchange (now the City Chambers). It was formalised in 1816 when it was widened and provided with decorative railings and walls. The Esplanade with its several monuments has been A-listed by Historic Scotland. It is the venue of the annual Edinburgh Military Tattoo at which time specially designed temporary grandstands are erected. Cannonball House has a cannonball lodged in the wall, often said to have been accidentally fired from the Castle but which actually marks the elevation of Comiston Springs, three miles to the south of the Castle, which fed a cistern on Castlehill, one of the first piped water supplies in Scotland.
From the Castle Esplanade, the short section of road entitled Castlehill is dominated by the former Tolbooth-Highland-St John's Church (on the south side at the foot of this section), now the headquarters of the Edinburgh International Festival society - The Hub, and on the north side by the Outlook Tower and Camera Obscura. The Assembly Hall of the Church of Scotland and New College are further down on the same side. The Scottish Parliament met in the Assembly Hall between 1999 and 2004.
The Lawnmarket was originally part of the High Street before its separate naming, which accounts for the street numbering being a continuation of the High Street numbers.
A charter of 1477 designated this part of the High Street as the market-place for what was called inland merchandise - items such as yarn, stockings, coarse cloth and other similar articles. In later years, linen was the main product sold. As a result, it became known as the Land Market which was later corrupted to Lawn Market.
Today, the majority of shops in the street are aimed at tourists. On the north side is the preserved 17th century merchant's townhouse Gladstone's Land owned by the National Trust for Scotland. The south side has a strong Dutch influence in its 17th-century gables. The lower end of the Lawnmarket is intersected by George IV Bridge on the right (south) and Bank Street on the left (north), leading to The Mound and the New Town. The view down Bank Street is closed by the baroque headquarters of the Bank of Scotland.
On the south-west corner of this intersection, with its entrance on George IV Bridge, is a new hotel, replacing the former Lothian Regional Council offices. This building is of controversial design winning both best building awards and carbuncle awards in 2009/10.
Between Bank Street and St Giles Street, marking the end of the Lawnmarket, the High Court of Justiciary, Scotland's supreme criminal court, is housed in what was formerly the Sheriff Court.

George Square, Glasgow - Scotland Travel Guide
Witness Scotland's history from the buildings and statues at George Square.
George Square is pretty much the historic center of Glasgow. As the main city square, flanked by beautiful buildings, it reflects the story and history of Glasgow and in many ways that is Scotland. Many well known historical personalities of Glasgow have their statues here.
The most prominantly placed on a center collumn is that of Sir Walter Scott, a renowned novelist. Here is James Watt, who invented the steam engine. Poet Robert Burns. Queen Victoria. Interestingly, there is no statue of King George III, for whom this square was established in the late 18th century. When this square was laid out it was actually a grassy area. Only recently has this red surface been placed here.
The Square is surrounded by various, grand buildings. The grandest of them all is this, the City Chambers, the city Counsel Building. Since this is really the center of Glasgow, you will find both locals and tourists here. My favorite thing about George Square is coming to eat on sunny days and sit in the sunshine. Its a good place in the center of town, just to get out and away from it all. And it is also good at Christmas time, coming and watching the ice skaters and things like that.
Football victories are started here. At Christmas the square is magnificently lit and on New Year's Eve or Hogmanay as it is called locally, the square, George Square, is the center of city celebrations. George Square is also an excellent point for you to start your city tour, as there are many information points here. I am Kirsty Macintyre showing you Glasgow.
