Little Sparta
description: Set in the Pentland Hills near Edinburgh, Little Sparta is Iain Hamilton Finlay's greatest work of art. Finlay moved to the farm of Stonypath in 1966 and, in partnership with his wife Sue Finlay, began to create what would become an internationally acclaimed garden across seven acres of a wild and exposed moorland site. Collaborating with stone carvers, letterers and at times other artists and poets, the numerous sculptures and artworks created by Finlay, which are all integral to the garden, explore themes as diverse as the sea and its fishing fleets, our relationship to nature, classical antiquity, the French Revolution and the Second World War. Individual poetic and sculptural elements in wood, stone and metal are sited in relation to carefully structured landscaping and planting. In this way, the garden in its entirety is the artwork.

The North and South walls depict various scenes from the Bible, while the West wall is entirely given over to a magnificent mural depicting the history of architecture from earliest man to the Egyptian, Greek and Roman eras. The murals were completed in 1940 as part of a major refurbishment programme, and a further mural added to the south wall in 2000 to mark the Millennium. Two murals on the north wall had to be completely replaced in the early 1990s due to building issues, and the new murals are exact replicas of the originals, created by a Lodge member. ?

Lords of the Isles - 15th Century Finlaggan
description: Today Loch Finlaggan on Islay seems a peaceful backwater. Yet in the Middle Ages it was an important power base. The two islands of Eilean Mor (or Large Isle) and Eilean na Comhairle (or Council Isle) on Loch Finlaggan were the site of a major residence of the Lords of the Isles – who governed the Hebrides and parts of mainland Scotland and Ulster. Since the early 1990s, the Finlaggan Archaeological Project (led by Dr David Caldwell), in collaboration with the National Museum of Scotland and the Finlaggan Trust, has been seeking to understand Finlaggan’s extraordinary past – uncovering evidence of this site’s residential, administrative, and ceremonial significance. Drawing on the findings of the Finlaggan Archaeological Project, researchers at the University of St Andrews and Smart History have created a new digital reconstruction of Finlaggan as it may have appeared in the fifteenth century – in the latter phase of its medieval glory days. A full virtual reality version of the reconstruction can be viewed at the Finlaggan Trust Visitor Centre on Islay.

Lumphanan Peel Ring
description: <!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <o:OfficeDocumentSettings> <o:AllowPNG/> </o:OfficeDocumentSettings> </xml><![endif]--> The following site is worth a visit as you travel along Deeside, it is a Scheduled Ancient Monuments. The site is managed by Historic Scotland, access is free but the site is unmanned. This great earthwork of the 13th-century was the site of a fortified residence, possibly a hunting lodge of the Durward family. On 21 July 1296, during his advance northward into Moray, Edward I of England made a detour to Lumphanan to receive the submission of Sir John de Melville, lord of Raith, in Fife. The castle seems to have been abandoned shortly after this time. The mound was briefly reoccupied in the 1480s when Thomas Charteris, of Kinfauns in Perthshire, built a modest two-storey residence on the summit. This was known as Ha’ton House, and now stands as foundations only. <!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:View>Normal</w:View> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:TrackMoves/> <w:TrackFormatting/> <w:PunctuationKerning/> <w:ValidateAgainstSchemas/> <w:SaveIfXMLInvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:IgnoreMixedContent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:DoNotPromoteQF/> <w:LidThemeOther>EN-GB</w:LidThemeOther> <w:LidThemeAsian>X-NONE</w:LidThemeAsian> <w:LidThemeComplexScript>X-NONE</w:LidThemeComplexScript> <w:Compatibility> <w:BreakWrappedTables/> <w:SnapToGridInCell/> <w:WrapTextWithPunct/> <w:UseAsianBreakRules/> <w:DontGrowAutofit/> <w:SplitPgBreakAndParaMark/> <w:EnableOpenTypeKerning/> <w:DontFlipMirrorIndents/> <w:OverrideTableStyleHps/> </w:Compatibility> <m:mathPr> <m:mathFont m:val="Cambria Math"/> <m:brkBin m:val="before"/> <m:brkBinSub m:val="--"/> <m:smallFrac m:val="off"/> <m:dispDef/> <m:lMargin m:val="0"/> <m:rMargin m:val="0"/> <m:defJc m:val="centerGroup"/> <m:wrapIndent m:val="1440"/> <m:intLim m:val="subSup"/> <m:naryLim m:val="undOvr"/> </m:mathPr></w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if …

Lynwood Carvers and Gilders
description: Here, by the side of a quiet lane in Eskdalemuir, you will find a small stone house housing a most unusual cottage industry. Two generations of the Chinnery family work here, breaking new ground in the traditional skills of gilding and woodcarving. You will see beautiful antique gilding work on frames and mirrors, but also contemporary designs using gold – not the old fashioned medium one may first think it – but full of light and reflection. Sam Chinnery, Nancy and John’s son, is a furniture designer working in wood, and you will be able to see his unique pieces, inspired by simple shapes and what he calls “simple, honest construction”. Attached to the side of the stone cottage is a corrugated iron lean-to which has for many years housed Eskdalemuir’s post office. Take a peep inside to absorb the charm of tiny rural post offices, complete with the original brass scales, and 1950s cupboards.
