Tonight I'm off to a private view at the Scottish Gallery for Archie Forrest, Adrian Hope and Norma Starszakowna. It's my plan to go to more of these things, since I tend to miss them more often than not, and to then blog about them.
In general I keep trying to remember to blog about more of the arts events I go to but my memory is pretty ropey these days and so usually I just have to talk about things that have happened that day. On a day like today that wouldn't be very much. I went swimming (don't think that counts as a culture unless you take the view that I was checking out some of Edinburgh's splendid Victorian public bath architecture, which of course you could).
So in the absence of anything interesting to blog about, here's a silly drawing.

eek ! weird to read on a blog about the scottish gallery - my family owned it orginally but gave it up when all the male heirs wanted to become medics.

Wow that's really cool! Thanks for posting that :D. I have to admit I've no idea how long it's been going - how long ago did they give it up?

I think my family gave it up post ww1. Its been going since about 1850 started by my great great great great (possibly one more great) grandfather Aitken Dott. My Grannie was a Dott. Sadly one of the previous owners but one sold off the Aitken Dott part of the name leaving just The Scottish Gallery.
