    Description: A Place in Scotland is a collation of interior spaces that represent a rejuvenated Scottish vernacular that has emerged over the past twenty years. Something is happening in Scotland - a new confidence - and inspirational voices are redefining what 'Scottish style' really is. Banjo and Alexander see this manifesting in homes and public spaces alike. Spanning the breadth of Scotland, they have picked places that tell a story, highlight sustainable design and represent a considered style that can be recreated at home. Including thirty different spaces, from a masterfully restored Scottish castle and the Gleneagles hotel to a World War 2 control tower in the Scottish Highlands and a brightly coloured tenement apartment in Glasgow, A Place in Scotland is a celebration of clever and contemporary design. All these beautifully photographed places will not only give you interiors inspiration, but take you on a stunning journey through Scotland.

  • National Galleries of Scotland A New Era

    Price: £19.95

    Brand: National Galleries of Scotland

     

    Description: Revealing an alternative story of modern Scottish art, A New Era examines the most experimental work of Scottish artists during the first half of the 20th century. It challenges the accepted view of the dominance of the Scottish Colourists and uncovers the hitherto little-known progressive Scottish art world. Through these works, we can see the commitment of Scottish artists to the progress of art through their engagement and interpretation of the great movements of European modern art, from Fauvism and Expressionism, to Cubism, Art Deco, abstraction and Surrealism, among others. Looking at the most advanced work of high-profile artists such as William Gillies and Stanley Cursiter, and lesser-known talents, like Tom Pow and Edwin G. Lucas, A New Era takes its name from the group established in Edinburgh in 1939 to show surreal and abstract work by its members.

  • Cambridge University Press The Case for Scottish Independence

    Price: £19.99

    Brand: Cambridge University Press

     

    Description: Scottish nationalism is a powerful movement in contemporary politics, yet the goal of Scottish independence emerged surprisingly recently into public debate. The origins of Scottish nationalism lie not in the medieval battles for Scottish statehood, the Acts of Union, the Scottish Enlightenment, or any other traditional historical milestone. Instead, an influential separatist Scottish nationalism began to take shape only in the 1970s and achieved its present ideological maturity in the course of the 1980s and 1990s. The nationalism that emerged from this testing period of Scottish history was unusual in that it demanded independence not to defend a threatened ancestral culture but as the most effective way to promote the agenda of the left. This accessible and engaging account of the political thought of Scottish nationalism explores how the arguments for Scottish independence were crafted over some fifty years by intellectuals, politicians and activists, and why these ideas had such a seismic impact on Scottish and British politics in the 2014 independence referendum.
