Gladstone's Land Accessibility Guide Join us as we uncover the fascinating and complex story of Jane Pirie, a former resident of Gladstone’s Land. In 1810, Pirie and fellow teacher Marianne Woods became embroiled in a scandalous defamation case after a student accused them of being in a same-sex relationship. Their lengthy legal battle later inspired The Children’s Hour (1961), starring Audrey Hepburn and Shirley MacLaine. At the turn of the 19th century, Edinburgh was a city of contrasts. The New Town embodied Enlightenment ideals—rationality, progress, and order—while the Old Town remained cramped and medieval, steeped in tradition. Jane Pirie moved between these two worlds, with ties to both of the National Trust for Scotland’s historic properties. She grew up in lodgings at Gladstone’s Land in the heart of the Old Town and later worked at a school near The Georgian House in the elegant New Town. This talk will explore the dramatic events that shaped Pirie’s life and what followed, examining how race, gender, sexuality, and class intersected in early 19th-century Edinburgh. Doors open: 6:30pm Talk starts: 7pm This talk will be delivered by Indigo Dunphy-Smith, who works as part of the Visitor Services team at The Georgian House and is the co-chair of the LGBT Network for The National Trust for Scotland. Indigo has recently launched a toolkit in partnership with the Queer Heritage and Collections Network to help Historic properties explore LGBTQ+ narratives within established collections. As part of The National Trust for Scotland's ten-year strategy, Nature, Beauty and Heritage for everyone, we have been exploring the lives of people who lived outside societal conventions. Part of this venture has included revisiting our interpretation of people who are associated with our built heritage. Information Source: Gladstone’s Land | eventbrite

Join us for six fascinating lectures exploring Scottish place-names from 20 to 22 June in Edinburgh and online. Place-names make a unique contribution to our understanding of how we humans have interacted with our environment over the centuries. They afford us a rare glimpse into the minds of those who coined them – their concerns, their priorities, their perceptions of the world, both physical and spiritual. Place-names also have much to teach us about languages, living and dead, and about their societal and political context. They are constantly evolving, acquiring new layers of significance, at the same time helping shape our identity and sense of belonging. This event is open and free to all. Please note: online and in-person tickets give you access to all six sessions of the 2025 Rhind Lectures, you may attend any or all of them. Tickets are free and popular, so early registration is advisable. If you are unable to attend in-person, please let us know at your earliest convenience. Presented by Dr Simon Taylor Dr Simon Taylor is Reader in Scottish Name Studies at the University of Glasgow. He has worked in the field of Scottish place-names since the early 1990s, and has published widely on the subject, including several in-depth regional surveys. One of the founding members of the Scottish Place-Name Society in 1996, he is now its honorary Preses. He was editor of the Journal of Scottish Name Studies from its inception in 2007 until 2020. Friday 20 June 5pm: Place-names in Scotland, yesterday, today, tomorrow Humans have always had a fascination with the origins and meanings of place?names, a fascination which in our own civilisation we can trace at least as far back as the Old Testament. The systematic study of place-names in Scotland goes back several centuries, and this lecture will introduce some key fi gures in its evolution. The lecture will conclude with an overview of the present state of the discipline and its future trajectory. 6.30pm: Place-names and Language Place-names are important, sometimes unique, witnesses to the historical languages of Scotland and the ways in which these languages interacted with each other. This lecture will look both at the languages themselves and at their interaction, from a socio-political as well as from a linguistic perspective. It will also address the issue of dating the different linguistic strata and of assigning names to a particular language. Followed by a drinks reception. A selection of Society books, ties and scarves will be available to purchase. Saturday 21 June 3pm: Place-names, settlement and society Place-names illuminate many aspects of social history, including settlement, assembly, hunting and the administration of justice. This lecture will discuss some of these aspects of social history through the close analysis of representative place-names from across Scotland, above all those coined in the medieval and early modern periods. 4.30pm: Place-names, archaeology and enviornment The focus of this lecture will be place-names’ relationship with archaeology and environmental history. It will explore how place-names can be sign-posts for the archaeologist, as well as indicators of how people through the ages have interpreted visible archaeological remains. Place-names also invoke and describe past landscapes reaching back into the medieval period. They are especially valuable as witnesses to early woodland and wetland and their exploitation, as well as to the former distribution of birds and animals. Sunday 22 June 3pm: Place-names and the church Christianity in Scotland’s early history is inscribed not just in its manuscripts and stones but also in its place-names. This lecture will look at some key place-name elements associated with the Church and attempt to tease out from them something of that early story. It will also look at another marker of the historical importance of religion, that of the legion of saints commemorated in our namescape. 4.30pm: Place-names great and small Place-names arise from humans’ creative engagement with their environment, so it is no surprise that they embody a wide range of human responses: prosaic, utilitarian, imaginative, evaluative, humorous, mocking. There is also scarcely anything too small to be given a name, and these so-called microtoponyms can be found in sources from medieval boundary descriptions to modern colloquial language. There is also a lively movement of place-names across the globe, driven by a variety of motivations, both positive and negative. All the above types of names are found in Scotland, and they will provide the focus of this fi nal lecture. What are the Rhind Lectures? The Rhind Lectures are a series of six lectures delivered annually on a subject pertaining to history or archaeology by eminent authorities on the subject. They have been given since 1876 and commemorate Alexander Henry Rhind of Sibster (1833-63) who left a bequest to the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland to endow the lectures which perpetuate his name.

A constellation is a creative and solution focused way of addressing a wide range of issues in relationships, families, at work, with health or other challenges. It involves taking what is known as the 'widest possible view' of a situation through the creation of a 'human map', providing a different perspective on a familiar and persistent story and revealing the hidden dynamics and intergenerational patterns which often contribute to our struggles. The workshop will be experiential and everyone is likely to participate, either as a representative in someone else's constellation (which can be a really powerful experience and bring great insight for your own life), or you can request to do a piece of work yourself - although there is no guarantee of this. No experience is necessary - you just need to bring your curiosity! Confidentiality about what is covered during the workshop is expected. Constellation work can be deeply affecting. Please come with an open heart and prepared to participate in suppport of others. Cost and Cancellation Policy £100 standard rate (+ booking fee) £75 reduced rate (+ booking fee) - a small number of places are available for those on low or no income Cancellation with more than 4 weeks notice – full refund Cancellation with less than 4 weeks notice – no refund given unless the place is filled, then a full refund will be given.

Join the International Ghost Society for a one-off historical cookery class, during which you'll learn about food during the Second World War, and get to try your hand at making some classic WWII dishes. While many people associate the years of the Second World War with rationing, it was also a time of great ingenuity in cooking. Hundreds of new recipes were invented, making use of what was available, and responding to shortages, the national mood, and changing trends. Many of these recipes have since been lost to history ... but this event offers you a chance to taste some of the forgotten foods of this pivotal era in the history of the world. Our venue is the ENTCS in Edinburgh : a beautiful Georgian building that is now home to a fully-equipped cookery school. All the implements, equipment and ingredients you'll need are provided, and there'll be help on hand throughout. Mix and enjoy a classic WWII-era cocktail while we learn about rationing, food on the different fronts of the war, communal kitchens, military rations, shortages, exotic foods during the war, and more. Then put on an apron, pick a recipe, and put together a classic World War Two dish. Recipes include vinegar cake , Lord Woolton pie , and a mock banana sandwich . While we'll focus mainly on the British home front during this event, we'll have the option to make a few recipes from the trenches and from other nations. At the end of the evening, we'll present and sample our creations... and you'll have the option to take what you've cooked home with you.

The Offering (A Plastic Ocean Oratorio) “When the world drowned, we had lived in the fire so long it felt mundane.” Turtle eggs. Volcanos. A plastic ocean. Award-winning Malaysian-Australian author, poet and rapper Omar Musa and internationally renowned American cellist and composer Mariel Roberts Musa bring a dramatic seafaring epic to the stage with The Offering (A Plastic Ocean Oratorio). Set on a post-apocalyptic world, the show combines storytelling, poetry, hip hop and live cello with sound recordings made in Bornean forests and coral reefs. Using Omar's family history in Borneo as a springboard, The Offering grapples with themes such as environmental destruction, climate change, South-East Asian colonial history, belonging and borderlessness. Think The Odyssey, set in a post-apocalypse South-East Asia, performed by Gil Scott-Heron. Artist biographies Omar Musa is an award-winning Bornean-Australian poet, rapper, author and visual artist.
