As part of our research for the Big Back Garden University of Dundee Geography & Environment | University of Dundee UoD Archives & RM DJCAD, UoD project, we re-visited the Photo City exhibition V&A Dundee. Got lots of great ideas for thinking about cities, visuals and parks. 📸 #Dundee #photograghy

Art competitions formed part of the modern #OlympicGames during its early years, from 1912 to 1948. Irish painter Letitia Marion Hamilton (1878 – 1964), for example, won a bronze medal at the London Olympic Games, 1948 #WomensArt

The latest Census figures published by NatRecordsScot show an increase in Scots and Gaelic skills. Our latest blog explores this increase looking at age, geography and skill level and provides a comparison with the 2011 Census. ow.ly/5wUO50SVI47

It’s a wrap! Felt strange to be inside Dalkeith Palace without all the gorgeous art hanging on the walls. Was lucky enough to take a few pictures while picking up mine. Big thanks to Visual Arts Scotland Visual Arts Scotland for a great exhibition! #CreativeGeographies #photography
