As an archaeologist you're often asked what your favourite find is. This is mine: the Scottish carved stone balls, especially the famous "Towie ball" (second picture). Nearly all of these prehistoric carved balls were found in Scotland, the majority of them around Aberdeenshire, where I am also from! Although there are many theories, nobody knows exactly what they were used for, so they remain one of the greatest archaeological mysteries... Here are a selection from my last visit to the @nationalmuseumsscotland in Edinburgh back in July #archaeology #archaeologist #prehistoric #prehistory #scotland #nationalmuseumscotland #carvedstoneballs #enigma #mystery https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp4BCAOFxid/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1pafmf2cqzde5

Court Mantua | c.1750s • • • The mantua came from Tynninghame, near Dunbar, which became the principal country residence of the 1st Earl of Haddington in 1628 and remained so until the 1980s. Through marriage in the 18th century, the Earls of Haddington became connected to Mellerstain house, where the current Earl of Haddington lives. The National Museum of Scotland has around 162 items previously owned by the Earls of Haddington in the fashion and textile collection, dating from around 1720-1900. The dress dates to when Thomas, 7th Earl of Haddington held the title and estates. In 1750 he married Mary Holt, widow of Gresham Lloyd, who became known as the Countess of Haddington. The Earl and the Countess appear to have led a socially active life with their peers, with their attendance at balls and hunts reported by Lloyd’s Evening Post. It is likely that this mantua may have belonged to Mary, Countess of Haddington, or another close female relation such as Mary’s daughter. • • • #whattheywore #historicalfashion #fashion #fashiondesign #fashionhistory #historyoffashion #vintagefashion #art #vintage #historicfashion #defunctfashion #historicalfashion #costume #costumedesign #couture #costumehistory #18thcenturyfashion #mantua #nationalmuseumscotland

For our Visual Communication taster rotation, we were to create a zine inspired by our two visits to the National Museum of Scotland during the drawing rotations. I’d been fretting about what to do because I had really bad headaches both of the days that we were there. Doug suggested that I make my zine about the fact that I had a headache all day, so that’s what I did...

I’m not quite done with this yet, as I’ve found doing the illustrations to be rather time consuming, but here’s what I’ve done so far...

Day 7: Spent some time in the National Museums Scotland. I ended up asking one staff members if they have any artifacts from the Dunbar Castle or the town. We then rallied up a few other folks in their Research Lab and gave me books to read 😍📚sadly couldn't find much in the way of artifacts but they were super excited to help me and hear about my journey! 🎉 I'll get on the Way tomorrow; 3 more days to go with only 41 miles left! #johnmuirway #dunbar #rainyday #neverstoplearning #johnmuirtrust #nationalmuseumscotland (at National Museums Scotland)

The gaze by Emma Woffenden. This is an abstract sculpture exploring the human emotion. It is made from recycled beer bottles, creating fragile, genderless figures in a compromising position. I think the placement of this piece in the museum is important, it looks like 2 people alone but in the background it is an open space. The windows look like they are in a hotel room.
