Willie McSporran - Well my father and mother were

Willie McSporran - Well my father and mother were both local and it was Gaelic in the house, and outside my uncles were Gaelic. Then we would go down to the shore where the fishermen were, and it was all Gaelic. Farmers all about you were Gaelic, didn’t matter where you went there was Gaelic. There’s plenty understand it, but there’s very few fluent enough to sit and have a full conversation on it. Which it is a pity. That’s why I think it’s important to have it and to keep it.

The importance of Gaelic on the Isle of Gigha.

“We don’t own the land, the land owns you. We

“We don’t own the land, the land owns you. We are merely passing through. And our idea is to leave a legacy for the next generation, and that is the target we must keep to. Because in future generations they’ll know that we could be trusted to do our best for the next generation. That’s a path we must follow.”

Words of wisdom from John Martin from the Isle of Gigha.

Each trip to the Isle of Gigha gets better and bet

Each trip to the Isle of Gigha gets better and better! We had the pleasure of holding a consultation workshop in the town hall, where we listened to the local community’s thoughts and ideas on placement and designs of future interpretation panels and posts. We even had the chance to enjoy the sites and wildlife which surround Gigha.

Have you ever been to The Hill House in Helensburg

Have you ever been to The Hill House in Helensburgh? This architectural gem is considered a Charles Rennie Mackintosh domestic masterpiece. He worked along side his wife Margaret to create this amazing building for Walter Blackie, a Glasgow book publisher. The building was finished in 1904 but struggled to withstand the test of time. Hence the magnificent box which protects the building from the elements. This impressive structure also allows visitors a birds eye view of the house.

We have the pleasure of working alongside @soluis_heritage to create digital interventions using AR to highlight the discoveries @histenvscot conservation team are finding with their thermal imaging and moisture mapping tech they are using.

Shinty is one of Scotland’s most historic sports

Shinty is one of Scotland’s most historic sports. Originally an activity to develop warrior skills, it eventually evolved into a sport with one community competing against another. Moving into the future, shinty will continue to evolve for the communities.

We’re proud to have designed Shinty.com for @shinty_camanachd @shintyscotland. Your main source of fixtures, tickets, news and history relating to Shinty in Scotland. Head over to shinty.com to find out more.

Finger posts made of solid timber and corten steel

Finger posts made of solid timber and corten steel interpretation panels now installed up at The Scalan site. We’re really happy with how these posts and signs blend in with the landscape. As well as offering information about the people, heritage and life around them.

If you find yourself in the North of the Cairngorms make sure to stop by the Scalan and the Braes.

How are you doing? It’s Mental Health Awareness

How are you doing? It’s Mental Health Awareness week and we’ve all struggled through the pandemic. It’s important to make time to look after yourselves, friends and family. Don’t be afraid to reach out if you need to, and it’s okay to not feel okay.

All the hard work and teamwork is paying off. Sign

All the hard work and teamwork is paying off. Signs and panels are now installed up in the north of the Cairngorms and they look smashing!

Working along side @sculptureanddesignltd, @tglandscape & @fortytwo_studio has been a pleasure.

In the Summer of 2020 classical musicians and a street artist came together to perform Vivaldi's Four Seasons (Summer) under the Kingston Bridge; transforming a car park into a performance space.

This is the second of the Four Seasons (Winter) and again brings together these two very different artforms; classical music and street art.

This time, street artist Sigh depicts a cold winter's night, complimented by the notes of the violin, viola, cello and guitar, again highlighting that this space UNDER THE BRIDGE could be so much more productive, vibrant and energetic as a performance space for musicians, artists and performers than it currently is for 54 cars.

Watch this space for Spring and Autumn as we ramp up the project in the run up to COP26 and a full concert on site.

The panels will be installed soon at select locations in and around the northern area of the Cairngorms close to Tomintoul.

@afterthepandemic will curate a creative, cultural

@afterthepandemic will curate a creative, cultural, and community hub for Glasgow in the run up to & during COP26.

The 3000sqm Clydeside space will put people and communities at the heart of the COP26 conversation. Curated by Glaswegians, for Glaswegians, the space will present global challenges at a local level, and engage with international communities from around the world.

For participation.

For parity.

For prosperity.

COP26 is the most significant international conference since COP21 in 2015 (where the Paris Agreement was signed), and takes place between 1 Nov and 12 Nov 2021

To mark five years since the Paris Agreement, we’ve created five principles that will guide our mission RETHINK, REIMAGINE and REDESIGN our spaces and places to be greener, more vibrant and more resilient.

These are After the Pandemic’s commitments to COP26 and beyond.

1. Inclusive Communities
For all: Contribute to and connect with global communities by empowering Glasgow’s own.

2. Dear Greenest Place
Carbon reduction is an even more urgent issue now than it was at COP21. After the Pandemic backs Glasgow’s commitment to becoming a net-zero city by 2030.

3. Local for Global
For global change, start local: tackle climate change from the grassroots up.

4. Learn & Grow
Educate and pollinate. Develop skills and share knowledge to enable action.

5. Design-Forward
Catalyse Glasgow’s creative community powerhouses to REDESIGN the future.
