The man who invented a Hebridean life: Raasay’s extraordinary ‘Walter McMitty’ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
With his tartan trews and tweed jackets, lilting Hebridean accent and gripping tales from the shinty field, the enthusiastic Classics teacher and leading figure in Edinburgh circles appeared to be a fine figure from the Hebridean island of Raasay. According to Dr Scott Peake, he was a shinty and cricket internationalist who, in between picking up a series of nasty injuries on the sports field, carrying out archaeological battlefield digs and sitting on the board of respected heritage organisatio
The Scottish craftsman fighting to save a centuries-old skill from Temu and time (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Into a bubbling pan of water David Broadbent pops a hard, ridged and curved sheep’s horn and leaves it to simmer for around an hour. Eventually in his expert hands, it will turn into a leaping salmon, the head of a beloved sheepdog, a thistle or a kingfisher.

Could it be that this evocative 1936 portrait by Aberdeen artist William MacWhannel Petrie is the missing link in one of the most shattering royal scandals of them all? Ninety years on from the so-called ‘year of three king
The Glasgow âdosserâ who became the face of Peter Howsonâs iconic artwork (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The features are strong, hard and chiselled, the stance is powerful, defiant and borders on confrontational. The figure in one of Glasgow artist Peter Howsonâs most revered artworks is unmistakably working class, with his jacket hanging loose, hands like shovels and shoulders as broad as a kitchen table. Howsonâs stark black and white large-scale woodcut, The Noble Dosser, produced on hand-made paper in a limited number of just 30 which were instantly snapped up, has been hailed for capturin
