The Hill House “Behind the Walls” Augmented Re

The Hill House “Behind the Walls” Augmented Reality app allows you to find out more about the people that lived, worked and grew up at the Hill House with an immersive virtual gallery of historic images combined with audio that you can walk around on your visit to the property. You can also learn about the work of National Trust Scotland together with Historic Environment Scotland in monitoring the condition of the house by interacting with 3D Thermal image scans of key locations in the interior and exterior of the Hill House.

The Cairngorms is recognised as one of the best places in Britain to star gaze…Tomintoul and Glenlivet, in particular, have been awarded the prestigious status of ‘Dark Sky Park’ - making it the most northerly park of its kind in the World!

We were delighted to design the ‘Cairngorms Dark Sky Experience’ which has now been installed at the Tomintoul & Glenlivet Discovery Centre. It has been an exciting and informative project to work on together with the Tomintoul & Glenlivet Development Trust and the Cairngorm Astronomy Group 💫 🌌 🌍

Fantastic print quality as always from the guys at @hobsrepro Glasgow ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Throwback to our trip to @anchoragedesignweek in 2019 and meeting some amazing people. We showcased our Future Arctic game which was designed to re-think, re-design and re-imagine the future of Anchorage and it’s position in the global north. The project was in collaboration with @anchoragemuseum and @seedlabanchorage

Throwback! It’s been just over two years since we worked with @shintyscotland to create a series of films to help promote Alzheimers awareness within the Highland community. Was a pleasure to interview Donnie Grant for the Kingussie part of the series.

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.

Working alongside Lucidity Media and @isleofgigha

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.

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.
