The Scottish Society for Art History and the National Library of Scotland present:ART AND TEXTA two-day conference at the National Library of Scotland, Edinburgh, 6 - 7 February 2025The Scottish Society for Art History in partnership with the National Library of Scotland presents a two-day in-person event exploring the relationship between art and the written word in Scotland. Scottish art has long been inspired by literature, while Scottish artists and publishers have made fundamental contributions in the fields of book and magazine illustration, advertising posters, comics, graphic novels and artists’ books. In turn, there has been a significant body of writings on Scottish art in both fiction and non-fiction, and many outstanding collaborations between artists and writers. This conference will share current research and critical debate into the myriad relationships between art and text and our programme features artists, writers, curators, archivists, art historians, literary and linguistic scholars and interdisciplinary researchers. We are delighted to have acclaimed art critic Clare Henry as our keynote speaker. The conference takes place in the Boardroom, National Library of Scotland, George IV Bridge, Edinburgh. The full programme can be viewed at https://sway.cloud.microsoft/gF7w4w9zFfB61Dve?ref=Link Please note: Ticket prices include refreshments during the morning and afternoon breaks but lunch is not provided. There is a café in the National Library of Scotland and numerous other places to eat nearby.

麦克SIRTSKING

The George IV Bridge is not a traditional bridge, but a bridge that spans across the lower streets, linking the Royal Mile. Some pleasant buildings can be seen along its path, such as the National Library, which is also the route to Victoria Street.

National Library of Scotland

ZengZhiGang

If it wasn&#39;t for the child&#39;s reminder, I really didn&#39;t notice that this is the National Library of Scotland, because it is so different from the national library in the domestic imagination. But its ancient architectural style shows a long history.

Best Things to Do

Historic buildings

Pointers Celine

Really lovely experience. I went with a local guide and would recommend getting one as they are able to tell you the stories of the place that you may need time to read up before or during your visit. An architecture that is truly beautiful even from secluded corners.

Palace of Holyroodhouse

_We***21

Very good place, the palace is not big, the old wooden floor is creaking, very atmospheric, I like it very much! ! I hope that in the future, I can see the part that has not been built or repaired, next to the Royal Art Gallery.

The Scotch Whisky Experience

Sopart

This experience is a fantastic way to learn about Whisky from the start all the way through to tasting Whisky. The most impressive collection of Whisky that I&rsquo;ve ever seen. Great value for money. If you like Whisky or you&rsquo;ve never tasted Whisky this experience should be on your must do list when visiting Scotland.

Edinburgh Old Town

Dawsy

Edinburgh&#39;s Old Town is a captivating maze of cobblestone streets, historic buildings, and rich culture. A must see, you won&rsquo;t regret coming here!

It is a must-visit place in Edinburgh. On the hill, there are lots of good spots to get a good view of the city. Old Town, New Town, Arthur&#39;s Seat, and the sea are all visible there.
