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.

The George IV Bridge is not a traditional bridge but a line that spans the lower street, linking the Royal Mile along its path to see some pleasant buildings, such as the National Library, which is also the route to Victoria Street.

National Library of Scotland

ZengZhiGang

If it weren&#39;t for my child&#39;s reminder, I wouldn&#39;t have noticed that this was the National Library of Scotland, because it was so different from the national library I imagined in China. However, its ancient architectural style shows its long history.

Edinburgh Castle is worth a visit, it is a great symbol of Scotland and Edinburgh, it is located on the top of the castle rock in Edinburgh, very obvious from all corners of the city centre. 120 meters above sea level, overlooking the whole city of Edinburgh

Palace of Holyroodhouse

Holyrood Palace is very spectacular, with ancient palace architectural style, classical style buildings, and very good landscaping. It is worth visiting. Britannia is worth visiting, but the fun is average and the cost performance is not high.

&quot;Bagpipes sound from afar, I only care about your news.
The castle keeps secrets for love, and I keep memories for you.&quot;
This is the location of Jay Chou&#39;s MV &quot;Obviously&quot;,
and it is also the birthplace of J.K. Rowling&#39;s creation of &quot;Harry Potter&quot;.
If you dream of a medieval city in a magical world,
then you must come here in this life.
Every building is a natural movie background,
and every corner seems to hide a secret passage to another world.
In the end, when the sunset on Calton Hill confiscated time,
Edinburgh, becoming amber that never fades, will always remain in my memory.
