'Kirkwall Fair.' (1888) Although Arthur Melville was not regarded as one of the Glasgow Boys, he was seen by them to be a kindred spirit. A year after painting this work on Orkney, he left Edinburgh and settled in London, although he often returned to Scotland to paint.

Incredible scenes as we slide from January into February and realise that yet again it's Monday night (and it's 5pm) so it MUST be time for Episode 4 of 'How light is it in #Orkney at 5pm this week?'
We are NOT making this up.

A view from the south-west of Fyvie Castle in Aberdeenshire, one of the most magnificent and imposing of Scotland's castles despite its tranquil parkland setting. It started life as a royal castle in about 1200. More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot...

Today is Imbolc, an ancient Celtic festival marking the beginning of Spring and the return of light and life. Wouldn't this be the perfect time of year to have a festival to highlight Glasgow's fantastic architecture by lighting up as much of it as possible?
