Welcome to the 165th <strong>Royal</strong><br />
<strong>Caledonian</strong> <strong>Ball</strong>. Thank you for<br />
joining us – I am sure you will have<br />
an enjoyable and memorable evening.<br />
I am delighted to be Chairman for a third year.<br />
It is a great honour to preside over this historic<br />
<strong>Ball</strong>, which remains one of the most loved events<br />
in the Social calendar. I was introduced to<br />
reeling in London 25 years ago. Iona, Duchess of<br />
Argyll was the first person who invited me to<br />
the <strong>Caledonian</strong>. I remember very nervously<br />
taking a large bowl of strawberries to her dinner<br />
party and not knowing what to expect. She was<br />
a wonderful and inspirational hostess. The<br />
evening left a lasting impression on me and<br />
instilled an abiding love of reeling. As an English<br />
woman I had never seen anything so exotic,<br />
glamorous and physically dangerous as the Great<br />
Room in full flow mid Dashing White Sergeant.<br />
I want others to experience the same magic that<br />
I felt that night. It is my mission to bring in as<br />
many new faces as possible each year. I am<br />
particularly pleased to see children up in the<br />
balcony again, adult beginners at my annual<br />
practice party the week before (you know who<br />
you are….), and that our ticket sales to under<br />
25’s and the military have reached over 50%.<br />
This year we are also welcoming guests from all<br />
over the world – America, Canada, Russia,<br />
Norway, Greece, Nigeria and Germany to name<br />
a few. It is a great pleasure to see people coming<br />
together in this way, experiencing our traditions<br />
at an event that celebrates our history, but<br />
maintains a sense of fun and youthfulness.<br />
None of this is possible without the incredible<br />
enthusiasm of my committee. Sadly, two of the<br />
most long-standing and committed members of<br />
my team are retiring. Many of you will have met<br />
Sarah Bardswell over the 16 years she worked as<br />
the <strong>Ball</strong> Secretary. What Sarah doesn’t know<br />
about ticket sales, dress codes and eccentric<br />

dietary requirements is<br />
not worth knowing!<br />
She was particularly<br />
kind to me when I<br />
started to attend the<br />
<strong>Ball</strong>. Her knowledge<br />
and love of the <strong>Ball</strong> is<br />
quite unprecedented<br />
and I shall miss her<br />
hugely at our meetings.<br />
However she is not permitted retire from the<br />
dance floor!<br />
Iona Argyll has also resigned and this will be her<br />
last year as President. I could not have wished<br />
for a wiser, calmer or more gracious person at<br />
our helm. The Duchess has been a great<br />
supporter of the <strong>Ball</strong>, exceptionally generous<br />
with her time and the most elegant figurehead.<br />
We are very pleased that Viscount Dupplin will<br />
be our new President, after many years of hard<br />
work as the Chairman of the <strong>Ball</strong>.<br />
And finally…the dreaded fund raising. Please do<br />
not switch off at this point. Underneath the<br />
glamour, fun and the celebration of our Scottish<br />
roots we have a serious purpose. We need your<br />
support more than ever in these financially<br />
difficult times so that we can continue to help<br />
others. Please give generously tonight, either<br />
direct donations or by bidding for one of the<br />
exceptional prizes in the Silent Auction (pages 6-<br />

through the year, please feel free to contact us.<br />
Have a wonderful evening.<br />

Stirling Castle, home to the famous<br />
Stewart Kings and Queens is one of<br />
Scotland’s most magnificent castles.<br />
Built strategically on a majestic crag<br />
overlooking the Ochil Hills it has played a long<br />
and important role in Scotland’s history.<br />
The castle is looked after by Historic Scotland,<br />
the Scottish Government’s heritage agency. As<br />
the biggest operator of visitor attractions in<br />
Scotland, Historic Scotland care for 345<br />
properties across the country from abbeys and<br />
cathedrals to castles and palaces.<br />
The centrepiece of Stirling Castle is the <strong>Royal</strong><br />
Palace of James V of Scotland. It is an<br />
outstanding example of Scottish Renaissance<br />
architecture and is Britain’s most complete<br />
Renaissance royal palace.<br />
In 2004 Historic Scotland embarked on an<br />
exciting and innovative £12 million renovation<br />
project to return the interior of the palace<br />
apartments to how they may have looked in<br />
the 1540’s, when it was home to a young<br />
Mary, Queen of Scots and her mother Mary<br />
de Guise.<br />
The refurbishment of the royal palace marked<br />
the fourth, final and most ambitious stage in<br />
Stirling Castle<br />
The Restoration of a Renaissance royal palace<br />
10<br />
Historic Scotland’s 20-year programme to<br />
conserve Stirling Castle and enhance its<br />
position as a must-see visitor attraction.<br />
About the palace:<br />
In 1538, James V of Scotland was preparing to<br />
marry his second French wife. To mark the<br />
arrival of his bride, James commissioned a<br />
new Palace in Stirling Castle. It was intended<br />
to be as fine as any princely residence she<br />
would have known in the richer kingdom of<br />
France.<br />
The Palace was designed to display James V’s<br />
wealth, learning and sophistication, as well as<br />
asserting his right to rule.<br />
Its elaborate decorative scheme, inside and<br />
out, was inspired by the European<br />
Renaissance. It drew on ideas from the<br />
Classical world, employing elaborate symbols<br />
and motifs to broadcast messages of power<br />
and prosperity, wisdom and justice.<br />
The Palace comprised <strong>Royal</strong> Lodgings for<br />
the king and queen. Each apartment had<br />
three spacious rooms – in ascending order<br />
of privacy: an Outer Hall‚ an Inner Hall and<br />
a Bedchamber. Access to these rooms was<br />
restricted according to the rank of the<br />
visitor and the royal privilege extended to<br />
them.<br />
Both Kings and Queens suites were located<br />
on the same floor, arranged around a<br />
courtyard known as the Lion’s Den.<br />
These rooms were used for a variety of<br />
purposes, including taking meals, greeting<br />
important visitors, dancing and<br />
entertainments, royal audiences and<br />
meetings about affairs of state.
James never lived to see it completed, dying<br />
in 1542. It continued however to be home<br />
to his widow, Mary de Guise and her<br />
daughter, the young Mary Queen of Scots,<br />
until she was sent to France in 1548.<br />
Stirling Castle and its palace fell into<br />
disrepair in the 17th century. When James,<br />
Duke of Albany and York (the future James<br />
VII and II), visited in 1681 it was thought<br />
unfit for him to stay there.<br />
Neglect led to decay, but refitting for<br />
military use ensured that some areas of the<br />
palace remained in very good condition as<br />
the army often covered up, rather than<br />
removed, original features<br />
The castle stopped being a military depot in<br />
1964, before later becoming a paid-for<br />
visitor attraction.<br />
The Restoration of the <strong>Royal</strong><br />
Apartments:<br />
The restoration of the interior of the palace<br />
apartments was based on the latest research<br />
to painstakingly recreate the apartments.<br />
Historic Scotland’s aim was to recreate the<br />
most authentic experience possible by<br />
transporting visitors back into the world of<br />
the Scottish Renaissance royal court,<br />
surrounded by beautiful decorations, crafts,<br />
works of art and furniture.<br />
Costumed interpreters now take on the<br />
roles of everyone from Kings and Queens to<br />
11<br />
court officials and noblemen. Visitors not<br />
only see what a royal palace looked like<br />
when it was new, but glimpse the lives of the<br />
people who lived and worked there.<br />
The result is a visitor experience unlike<br />
anything else in Scotland.<br />
Craft Skills:<br />
Central to this was using traditional artists and<br />
craftsmen to replicate authentic Renaissance<br />
style by using age old techniques and craft<br />
skills.<br />
Craftspeople from across the UK were<br />
carefully selected to help painstakingly bring<br />
the interior of the palace back to its original<br />
glory.<br />
Historic Scotland’s aim is to allow visitors to<br />
experience the Palace as it could have been<br />
when it was completed in the 16th century.<br />
The result is that a visit to the six royal<br />
apartments in the palace is very different from<br />
a typical trip to a historic building or museum,<br />
because visitors see what everything was like<br />
when it was new. The tapestries are bright not<br />
faded, the furniture unblemished rather than<br />
antique – the paintwork still fresh on the<br />
walls.<br />
Each detail is the result of meticulous research<br />
– many items are copied from surviving<br />
examples. In fact, an amazing range of sources<br />
have been used. The overall impression is of<br />
strong colours, detailed motifs, rich materials
and the best craftsmanship of the day. After all,<br />
James V’s intention was to use the design of his<br />
Palace to demonstrate his wealth, knowledge,<br />
power and taste as a leading European ruler.<br />
The Stirling Heads:<br />
One of the most ambitious elements of the<br />
Palace project was the recreation of the<br />
Stirling Heads – often referred to as Scotland’s<br />
other crown jewels.<br />
The heads – a series of metre-wide carved oak<br />
medallions - depicted images ranging from<br />
classical heroes to contemporary portraits,<br />
originally adorned the ceiling in the Kings<br />
Inner Hall. There is nothing quite like them<br />
anywhere else in the world.<br />
12<br />
After Stirling Castle fell from favour as a royal<br />
residence it found a new role as an army<br />
garrison. The royal lodgings were not<br />
maintained as before and the ceiling<br />
collapsed in 1777. Some of the heads were<br />
lost or destroyed, with others being<br />
dispersed. But even during the darkest<br />
moment of their history there were those<br />
who recognised their importance. Some<br />
were saved as curiosities, others ended up in<br />
private homes. But by the 1970s all the<br />
remaining heads were back in public hands.<br />
Many were displayed at the Smith Gallery in<br />
Stirling and three are owned by National<br />
Museums, Scotland<br />
One of the most important parts of the<br />
project has been to display the original<br />
Stirling Heads in their own gallery, allowing<br />
visitors to see the heads much closer-up<br />
than any of the select few who would have<br />
been admitted to the King’s Inner Hall five<br />
centuries ago.<br />
A new ceiling was also painstakingly created<br />
from 34 newly carved copies of the<br />
originals. Created over 4 years by expert<br />
woodcarver John Donaldson they offer a<br />
spectacular and stunning insight into the<br />
palace’s past.
The Stirling Tapestries:<br />
Historic Scotland also undertook an exciting<br />
project to recreate one of the world’s finest<br />
surviving sets of medieval tapestries as part<br />
of the palace project. The new versions of<br />
The Hunt of the Unicorn series have been<br />
woven to adorn the walls of the Queen’s<br />
Inner Hall – where Mary of Guise held<br />
court in her palace at Stirling Castle.<br />
This separately funded £2 million initiative<br />
will see a total of seven tapestries, each<br />
measuring 3.3m by up to 3.8m being handwoven<br />
at the castle itself and at the West<br />
Dean Tapestry Studio in West Sussex. They<br />
tell a tale of the hunt and slaying of a<br />
unicorn to obtain its horn, which has<br />
magical powers of purification, after which<br />
the creature returns to life.<br />
Inventories from 1539 show that the<br />
Scottish royal collection included a set<br />
depicting ‘the historie of the unicorne’ which<br />
may have been very similar. The new<br />
versions are based on tapestries of a similar<br />
period from the Low Countries and which<br />
are now on display in the Cloisters Museum,<br />
at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art.<br />
Each new tapestry takes between two and a<br />
half to four and a half years to make,<br />
depending on its width. Four are currently<br />
13<br />
on display in the palace, with the final two<br />
tapestries in the series due to be complete<br />
by August 2014. Weaving can be seen in the<br />
Tapestry Studio at Stirling Castle from<br />
Saturday through Wednesday each week.<br />
The tapestry project is a collaboration<br />
between Historic Scotland and a range of<br />
sponsors, principally the Quinque<br />
Foundation and the Guild of Weavers with<br />
funding channelled through the Historic<br />
Scotland Foundation. The Met has been vital<br />
to the project by giving HS permission to<br />
copy the originals and allowing the weavers<br />
unique access to study them.<br />
One of the tapestries from the series is<br />
currently on temporary display at the<br />
Fleming Art Gallery at Mayfair in London<br />
until June 1st <strong>2013</strong>.<br />
Appearing as part of a wider exhibition<br />
entitled ‘Finding the Unicorn’, the<br />
exhibition is a great opportunity to find out<br />
more about the tapestry project and its role<br />
as part of the wider Stirling Castle Palace<br />
project.<br />
The Opening:<br />
The completed palace was honoured with a<br />
<strong>Royal</strong> Opening by Her Majesty The Queen<br />
in July 2011.<br />
Since opening the palace Stirling Castle now<br />
attracts over 400,000 visitors per annum,<br />
offering a truly unique experience unlike<br />
any other in the Scottish tourist attraction<br />
industry.<br />
The castle has won a number of awards since<br />
the re-opening including being voted the<br />
UK’s best loved heritage attraction by<br />
members of Which? magazine.<br />

The Scottish Colourist: S. J. Peploe<br />
Alice Strang, Senior Curator, Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art<br />
Amajor exhibition of the work of the<br />
Scottish Colourist S. J. Peploe (1871-<br />
1935) can be seen at the Scottish<br />
National Gallery of Modern Art in Edinburgh<br />
until 23 June <strong>2013</strong>, before selected works<br />
tour to Aberdeen Art Gallery (13 July – 19<br />
October <strong>2013</strong>). This is the first retrospective<br />
of the artist’s work to be held for almost thirty<br />
years. It consists of over 100 paintings,<br />
brought together from public and private<br />
collections and includes many works rarely, if<br />
ever, exhibited before.<br />
Along with F. C. B. Cadell, J. D. Fergusson<br />
and G. L. Hunter, Peploe is one of the four<br />
artists commonly known as the ‘Scottish<br />
Colourists’. They are the nation’s most<br />
renowned early twentieth-century artists,<br />
who are celebrated for their immersion in<br />
modern French art and for a shared love of<br />
brilliant colour applied in a painterly manner.<br />
Peploe was the eldest and most successful –<br />
commercially and critically – of the group and<br />
it was his friendship with the others which<br />
bound them together.<br />
The Coffee Pot, c.1905<br />
Peploe was born in Edinburgh in 1871 and<br />
lived in the city all of his life, apart from the<br />
years 1910 to 1912 which he spent in Paris<br />
with Fergusson. His first solo exhibition was<br />
held at The Scottish Gallery, Edinburgh in<br />
14<br />
1903. He is best known for his fascination<br />
with still-life painting and established his<br />
reputation with works such as The Coffee Pot,<br />
c.1905, which was painted in a manner<br />
reminiscent of Edouard Manet and Dutch Old<br />
Masters including Frans Hals and Rembrandt<br />
van Rijn. The narrative implications of its<br />
after-dinner atmosphere, the rich paint<br />
applied with aplomb, the counterpoint of<br />
bright white tablecloth against dark<br />
background, the glint of light on silver and<br />
glass and the touches of bright colour in fruit<br />
and porcelain make this one of the<br />
masterpieces of Peploe’s early career.<br />
However, he is perhaps most celebrated for<br />
the vividly coloured series of still lifes<br />
executed between approximately 1918 and<br />
1924, concentrating first on tulips and later on<br />
roses. Tulips and<br />
Fruit, c.1919 is a<br />
fine example in<br />
which the artist’s<br />
attempt to<br />
create the ideal<br />
composition of<br />
objects and<br />
perfect harmony<br />
of colours is<br />
Tulips and Fruit, c.1919<br />
realised in an<br />
image which remains stunning almost 100<br />
years after it was created. It seems that Peploe<br />
never tired of painting this genre, writing in<br />
1929: “There is so much in mere objects,<br />
flowers, leaves, jugs, what not – colours,<br />
forms, relation - I can never see mystery<br />
coming to an end.”<br />
Of equal importance to his still lives are the<br />
Scottish and French landscapes that Peploe<br />
painted throughout his career, usually en plein
air. Many of<br />
these works are<br />
rooted in his<br />
friendships with<br />
the other<br />
Colourists; he<br />
was introduced<br />
Green Sea, Iona, c.1920<br />
to the<br />
Hebridean island of Iona by Cadell in 1920 and<br />
first visited France with Fergusson in the early<br />
1900s. At Iona, Peploe was particularly drawn<br />
to the rocks, sands and views at the north of<br />
the island, creating works such as Green Sea,<br />
Iona, c.1920. In France, Peploe and Fergusson<br />
embarked on painting trips from 1904, most<br />
notably to Paris and the Normandy coast,<br />
where they became steeped in Impressionist<br />
and Post-Impressionist painting, including that<br />
of Sisley, Pissarro and Cézanne. During the<br />
1920s Peploe returned several times to France<br />
to paint, including to Cassis with Cadell in<br />
1924 and to Antibes with Hunter in 1928.<br />
Fergusson moved to Paris in 1907, and three<br />
years later, persuaded the newly-married<br />
Peploe to join him. Peploe was thus amongst<br />
the first British painters to see and respond to<br />
avant-garde work by artists including Picasso,<br />
Matisse and Derain. Fergusson recalled<br />
“Peploe and I went everywhere together. I<br />
took him to see Picasso and he was very much<br />
impressed. We went to the Salon d’Automne<br />
where we met Bourdelle, Friesz, Pascin and<br />
others…I was very happy for I felt that at last<br />
he was in a suitable milieu, something more<br />
sympathetic than the RSA [<strong>Royal</strong> Scottish<br />
Academy].” When Peploe returned to<br />
Edinburgh in 1912, his new work was received<br />
with scorn, but was widely exhibited in<br />
London during the following two years.<br />
After the outbreak of the First World War,<br />
Peploe was declared medically unfit for<br />
service. He then embarked on a period of<br />
isolated experimentation whilst corresponding<br />
with Fergusson and Cadell. Shortly afterwards<br />
15<br />
they began their annual trips to Iona, whilst<br />
throughout the 1920s their homes and studios<br />
were within easy walking distance of each<br />
other in the New Town.<br />
Throughout the 1920s Peploe exhibited<br />
regularly in Edinburgh, Glasgow and London<br />
and in 1927 he was elected a member of the<br />
RSA. From about 1924, he developed a style<br />
characterised by an increasingly sombre<br />
palette and rigorous technique, using more<br />
rustic accessories such as a treacle-glazed<br />
earthenware teapot and even lamb chops.<br />
Peploe died in Edinburgh on 11 October 1935<br />
and was buried in the family grave in the Dean<br />
Cemetery. Memorial exhibitions were held at<br />
The Scottish Gallery in 1936 and at the<br />
McLellan Galleries, Glasgow the following<br />
year.<br />

The Lyon Office<br />
by The Hon Adam Bruce, WS, Marchmont Herald of Arms<br />
In the early 15th century King James II of<br />
Scots sought to recapture Roxburgh<br />
castle, the fortress that commanded the<br />
Scottish March, or border, with England. In<br />
anticipation of that event he appointed<br />
Marchmont Herald to be his <strong>Royal</strong> Officer<br />
for the March. Sadly the King perished<br />
when one of the siege cannons he was<br />
inspecting blew up. Happily for us the office<br />
of Marchmont Herald still exists, and we<br />
spoke to Adam Bruce, the current holder of<br />
that office.<br />
“Many people believe that Heraldry in<br />
Scotland died out along with James II, but<br />
they are very wrong. I’m living proof of that:<br />
until recently I was Unicorn Pursuivant, but<br />
was recently promoted by David Sellar, the<br />
Lord Lyon King of Arms, to the office of<br />
Marchmont Herald, part of Scotland's living<br />
and breathing heraldic and ceremonial<br />
executive.<br />
At the Office of the Lord Lyon, who<br />
oversees that executive, there are three<br />
regular Heralds and three Pursuivants,<br />
known as ‘officers in ordinary’, together<br />
with four officers “extraordinary”. Lyon is a<br />
Great Officer of State responsible for the<br />
planning and execution of all State<br />
Ceremonial in Scotland, but his primary role<br />
is as the Heraldic Authority for Scotland,<br />
where he grants people and businesses coats<br />
of Arms, and arbitrates in contested matters,<br />
or where a claim to a coat of Arms is<br />
uncertain.<br />
The role of the Officers of Arms is to<br />
support him in those functions. One of the<br />
Heralds, Snowdoun, is the full time Lyon<br />
Clerk and Keeper of the Records, working<br />
18<br />
alongside Lyon on the administration of<br />
Lyon Office business. The rest of us assist as<br />
time allows. We each have a particular<br />
interest, whether in genealogy, the law of<br />
heraldry, ceremonial, heraldic art or legal<br />
and Scots history. We advise Scots all over<br />
the world who want to apply for a coat of<br />
Arms, or who want to inherit Arms carried<br />
by an ancestor.<br />
The Lyon Office is busier now than it has<br />
ever been, serving domestic demand and<br />
from across the diaspora. We are probably<br />
the oldest surviving court of protection for<br />
intellectual property in the world. A coat of<br />
Arms is a piece of property, marking its<br />
owner as part of the great Scottish global<br />
family, and entitling them to the protection<br />
of our Office.
One of the joys of the role, and there are<br />
very many, is to work with families and<br />
Clans who have lost their Head or Chief.<br />
Last year Lyon asked me to work with the<br />
MacEwan and Ewing families to help them<br />
choose who they want as their<br />
Representative. The great Clan Donald has<br />
embarked on a search for the missing Heads<br />
of its Branches, and I am hopeful that in<br />
New Zealand we may have found the senior<br />
representative of the MacDonalds of<br />
Glencoe.<br />
As well as these private duties, we also have<br />
formal public duties. We attend the annual<br />
General Assembly of the Church of Scotland<br />
to support the Lord High Commissioner<br />
who is appointed as The Queen's<br />
Representative for the week of the<br />
Assembly. In the summer we attend The<br />
Queen if she holds a service for the Order<br />
of the Thistle (as she did last year when<br />
HRH The Duke of Cambridge joined the<br />
Order).<br />
Every three years of so we help install the<br />
new governor of Edinburgh Castle, and<br />
when there is to be a General Election, we<br />
march down the <strong>Royal</strong> Mile from the Signet<br />
Library to the Mercat Cross – accompanied<br />
by trumpeters and a military escort - where<br />
Lyon will read the Writ of Dissolution to<br />
announce that there will be an election. We<br />
also participate in the Opening of the<br />
Scottish Parliament, in part recreating the<br />
ceremonial observed pre 1707. But, not all<br />
our public duties are ancient. Together with<br />
the English and Canadian Heralds we<br />
escorted The Queen down the Thames as<br />
part of the Jubilee River Pageant in London<br />
last June, which was damp, but awe<br />
inspiring.<br />
In the absence of the Sovereign our public<br />
role is to represent Her Authority; in the old<br />
19<br />
days we were essentially diplomats and<br />
enforcers of The <strong>Royal</strong> Will, who would<br />
often try to make peace before battle and<br />
pick up the pieces afterwards. Today our<br />
role is mainly ceremonial, but we add colour<br />
and keep these traditions alive.<br />
We are part of the great tapestry of Scottish<br />
life, representing old traditions and<br />
protecting legal rights whether long held or<br />
recently granted. But we are also a modern<br />
and forward looking body, working to adapt<br />
the art and science of heraldry to the<br />
demands and expectations of today's<br />
Scotland. It is a hugely enjoyable role, and<br />
together with Lyon and my brother and<br />
sister Officers, Rothesay, Snowdoun,<br />
Ormond, Dingwall and Unicorn, I think we<br />
add a bit of colour in a sometimes dreich<br />
nation.”<br />

Among Serena’s<br />
forebears, there<br />
is a long history<br />
of artistic and musical<br />
talent and commercial<br />
innovation and vision.<br />
Serena has brought all<br />
these gifts together and<br />
found a niche for herself<br />
in the world of<br />
fireworks. Although the<br />
concept of putting music to fireworks is<br />
centuries old, Serena feels the musical<br />
element has been side-lined and needs to be<br />
considered as instrumental as the fireworks,<br />
for a truly outstanding display. This, she<br />
believes, is the key to creating fireworks<br />
displays that really inspire and leave people<br />
feeling moved and elated.<br />
Serena has loved music all her life. She started<br />
learning the piano aged 3 and later studied<br />
under a Russian concert pianist. She<br />
continued studying Classical music at<br />
Edinburgh University and performing<br />
numerous piano recitals and later took her<br />
training further in Music Production at the<br />
prestigious London School of Sound.<br />
Serena wants to change people’s perception of<br />
what a firework display can be. She believes<br />
that music can transform a display – creating a<br />
new world of art and imagination that most<br />
people have not yet experienced – developing<br />
firework design into a new art form.<br />
Tell us about your work<br />
My work stems from a passionate belief in the<br />
power of music and its ability to move people.<br />
You can use music to illicit any emotion in<br />
people, be it joyous, excited, sad or<br />
contemplative.<br />
Interview with Serena Foyle<br />
Music Designer for Fireworks displays<br />
20<br />
To this end, I now create bespoke musical<br />
soundtracks for fireworks displays, from small<br />
private shows to large international<br />
competitions. In all displays that I create, both<br />
elements, the music and the fireworks, are<br />
treated with equal importance. I design the<br />
music for my displays and collaborate with a<br />
fireworks designer, to create a high impact<br />
result that captivates the audience.<br />
You describe yourself as a<br />
“pyromusical producer”. What is a<br />
pyromusical?<br />
Simply, it is fireworks set to music- both are<br />
designed together, the one enhancing the<br />
other. In a pyromusical, there is the potential<br />
for the audience to experience the power of<br />
the two elements of audio and visual<br />
inextricably linked.<br />
The term ‘pyromusical producer’ is a title that<br />
has come about because until now there has to<br />
my knowledge never been anyone who had<br />
this specific role. The music is so often just an<br />
afterthought, shoe-horned awkwardly into<br />
even the most lavish displays. Music design is<br />
the beginning of creating all pyromusicals and it<br />
is crucial to get this right - a black sky is a<br />
blank canvas on which the music can take the<br />
mind on an infinite number of possible<br />
journeys. Involving someone with musical<br />
training and experience, right from the<br />
beginning, will transform a display and<br />
transport an audience, imprinting the<br />
experience in their memories.<br />
As the producer, I am responsible for designing<br />
the soundtrack. I work from the very start of<br />
the project with my chosen fireworks designer<br />
to produce bespoke displays, gaining<br />
inspiration from the surroundings and working<br />
closely with the client.
You seem to have carved out a unique<br />
niche for yourself how did you first get<br />
in to it?<br />
I have always been fascinated with the power<br />
of sound and how it enhances how one feels.<br />
As a pianist, I loved performing in concerts,<br />
where I could take an audience on an<br />
emotional journey. It is also why I am<br />
fascinated by how music is used in films. I<br />
realised the potential of this combination in<br />
the world of fireworks had not been fully<br />
explored.<br />
What is your creative process?<br />
The most important thing for me is to go to<br />
the location and to meet the clients. I find my<br />
mind can quickly begin to picture what music<br />
will suit the atmosphere of the place and I can<br />
make a judgement on what styles of music will<br />
be right for their display. Each display is<br />
different and the music directs what difference<br />
this will make.<br />
The fireworks will be choreographed to the<br />
soundtrack and the fireworks designer and I,<br />
will work very closely together on that. The<br />
process is similar to that of ballet - the music is<br />
the inspiration for the choreography.<br />
You are a classically trained musician.<br />
Do you have a favourite genre of music<br />
to accompany your display?<br />
21<br />
I have an eclectic taste. With different styles<br />
and combinations of music for each display,<br />
the audience can never predict what journey<br />
they are going to be taken on. I incorporate all<br />
types of music in my productions - from<br />
classical right through to all types of<br />
contemporary dance music.<br />
What projects have you recently<br />
undertaken?<br />
Earlier this year I designed the music for a<br />
very large budget display at an estate outside<br />
London and most recently I travelled to<br />
Manila in the Philippines to compete in a<br />
global pyromusical competition and I am<br />
delighted to say that we won against 11 other<br />
countries!<br />
What was one of your most favorite<br />
events?<br />
I think really it was one which I organised for<br />
charity (Marie Curie Cancer Care in Scotland)<br />
at the wonderful Adam House, Mellerstain, in<br />
the Scottish Borders. I selected the venue<br />
because of its gloriously spacious setting and<br />
magical view over the lake which gave me the<br />
inspiration musically and the freedom to<br />
create something very moving and entirely in<br />
my own style.<br />

One may think that a Michelin star,<br />
four AA rosettes, and the title of<br />
‘AA Chefs’ Chef of the Year’ 2011,<br />
would leave little room for any chef to<br />
improve – but for Martin Wishart, new<br />
heights of perfection are always possible. It<br />
is undeniably Martin’s devotion to food and<br />
thirst to excel which drives his success, and<br />
thanks to training from the likes of Albert<br />
and Michel Roux Jr., Marco Pierre White<br />
and John Burton Race, Martin is able to<br />
produce dishes with the utmost skill. Having<br />
owned Restaurant Martin Wishart since<br />
1999, Martin continues to spread his passion<br />
for cooking. His cookery school, the<br />
restaurant at Cameron House Hotel<br />
(awarded a Michelin star in 2011), and The<br />
Honours, which opened in July 2011, have<br />
all been a huge success.<br />
In the heart of Edinburgh's Leith district,<br />
behind an unassuming and discreet frontage<br />
lies Restaurant Martin Wishart with a<br />
26<br />
Martin Wishart<br />
modern, classy and sophisticated interior.<br />
The interior has been designed to create a<br />
relax and calming atmosphere. The<br />
restaurant was also voted number eight in<br />
the UK by Harden’s and named one of<br />
Toptable’s best-rated restaurants by diners.<br />
The menus are imaginative, generous and<br />
Martin works with the seasons. Vegetarian<br />
options are always available. Come and enjoy<br />
our selection of tasting menus and a la carte<br />
dishes. From the opening amuse-bouche to<br />
the closing petits fours, guests enjoy a<br />
quality rivalled by few. Menu comprises<br />
grilled Orkney scallop delicately placed on<br />
an extraordinarily smooth pumpkin velouté.<br />
Highlights of the tasting menu include<br />
lightly poached langoustine ravioli<br />
accompanied by braised endive spiked with<br />
orange. Perfectly pink Ayrshire grouse will<br />
be served in season. To finish, a decadent<br />
Valrhona chocolate and hazelnut mousse.

The National Trust for Scotland is the<br />
conservation charity that protects<br />
and promotes Scotland's natural and<br />
cultural heritage for present and future<br />
generations to enjoy. With over 312,000<br />
members in Scotland, the UK and<br />
internationally, as well as 3,000 volunteers,<br />
it is the country’s largest conservation<br />
organisation. Established in 1931, the Trust<br />
acts as guardian of Scotland’s magnificent<br />
heritage of natural, architectural and historic<br />
treasures. It is an independent charity, not<br />
part of Government, and acts on behalf of<br />
everyone to safeguard our heritage.<br />
We care for 129 properties that tell the long<br />
story of Scotland, including 78,000 hectares<br />
of landscape encompassing 10,000<br />
archaeological sites, 46 Munro mountains,<br />
the austere beauty of Glencoe and islands<br />
and coastlines shaped by geology, time and<br />
the elements. We are the third largest land<br />
manager in Scotland, responsible for lands at<br />
the core of Scotland’s national parks, seven<br />
National Nature Reserves, 27 sites<br />
designated as of European importance for<br />
nature conservation and 46 sites of national<br />
The National Trust for Scotland<br />
28<br />
importance. We estimate that at least two<br />
million visitors enjoy our outdoor<br />
properties every year.<br />
Among the 400 islands and islets in our care<br />
is the only mixed World Heritage Site in the<br />
UK – the archipelago of St Kilda on the<br />
western approaches of the North Atlantic –<br />
designated for its terrestrial and marine<br />
natural heritage and cultural landscape.<br />
Abandoned by its human inhabitants in<br />
1930, it hosts a fifth of the world’s Northern<br />
gannets and the largest colonies in the<br />
British Isles of Northern fulmar, Leach’s<br />
storm-petrel and Atlantic puffin.<br />
Humble, vernacular buildings - such as the<br />
place of Dr David Livingstone’s birth in<br />
Blantyre in 1813, Robert Burns’ cottage in<br />
Alloway and JM Barrie’s birthplace in<br />
Kirriemuir - compare with the grandest of<br />
castles and country houses, including<br />
Culzean, Crathes and Craigievar, each being<br />
the scene of fascinating human stories<br />
displaying ambition, fortitude, and weakness<br />
leading to world-changing events and, it is<br />
said, the odd haunting too.
Our responsibilities contain and contrast<br />
architecture that was once at the cutting<br />
edge of technology, like Charles Rennie<br />
Mackintosh’s Hill House, alongside turf<br />
ramparts borne of military necessity on the<br />
Roman world’s most northerly frontier.<br />
Technology and conflict certainly come<br />
together at Culloden, with its<br />
internationally acclaimed immersive cinema<br />
that puts you in the middle of the battle, and<br />
will do so again using the very latest 3-D<br />
digitisation at the new Battle of<br />
Bannockburn centre which opens in 2014.<br />
Management of landscape and buildings on<br />
the very largest of scales also has to be<br />
matched to almost infinite attention to<br />
detail. Our experts conserve over 100,000<br />
artefacts representing the everyday tools of<br />
lives once lived and many great works of fine<br />
art and interior decoration.<br />
It is natural to expect an organisation like<br />
the Trust to look after properties but we also<br />
have a mission to promote and interpret our<br />
shared heritage too. In urban areas and<br />
across Scotland, we work with schools and<br />
groups supporting disadvantaged children in<br />
order to introduce them to our shared<br />
heritage. We welcome thousands of school<br />
children to our properties every year and<br />
use every possible method to engage them in<br />
29<br />
the excitement and fascination that history<br />
and nature can offer.<br />
We also have an international dimension to<br />
our work, as Scotland’s heritage also belongs<br />
to the world: Our USA Foundation and the<br />
Canadian National Trust for Scotland are<br />
instrumental in keeping alive our heritage,<br />
with the Scottish Diaspora raising generous<br />
donations towards its upkeep.<br />
Neither must it be forgotten that around<br />
10% of the Trust’s membership resides in<br />
London and the south-east of England. For<br />
that reason among many, our London<br />
Committee is vital to our work and plays a<br />
significant part in the fundraising on which<br />
we depend.<br />
As a charity, with limited Government<br />
funding, we depend almost wholly on<br />
generous gifts, donations and bequests, as<br />
well as the fees our members pay. We<br />
estimate that it costs us at least £100,000<br />
each and every day, or about £70 a minute,<br />
simply to meet the basic costs of maintaining<br />
our properties. However, given the real<br />
treasures of world importance in our care,<br />
we see this as a price worth paying.<br />

Bobath Scotland<br />
Cerebral Palsy<br />
Centre<br />
Bobath Scotland’s aim is to improve the<br />
quality of life for people living with cerebral<br />
palsy throughout Scotland. Bobath therapy<br />
is suitable for all types of cerebral palsy and<br />
we see children and adults throughout<br />
Scotland. They can be referred to the centre<br />
by their consultant paediatrician, their local<br />
therapist, a GP, a family member or they can<br />
self-refer. For many who come to Bobath<br />
this is the first experience of discovering<br />
what they CAN do as opposed to being told<br />
what they cannot do.<br />
£5000 can provide a year’s support for<br />
children like Ike.<br />
Bobath Scotland is determined to continue<br />
to offer treatment on the basis of clinical<br />
need rather than the ability to pay or the<br />
existence of funding. Support from The<br />
<strong>Royal</strong> <strong>Caledonian</strong> Trust can make such a<br />
difference to children from all over Scotland<br />
who require help at crucial stages in their<br />
lives. With your help, children and families<br />
can overcome the barriers that their<br />
disability presents and fulfil their potential in<br />
all aspects of their lives.<br />
From everyone at Bobath Scotland, we hope<br />
you have a wonderful evening and thank you<br />
on behalf of all the Ikes who will be helped<br />
thanks to your generosity.<br />

Scotland’s Charity Air<br />
Ambulance<br />
We need you today… you may need us<br />
tomorrow<br />
Scotland’s Charity Air Ambulance (SCAA) is<br />
the only charity-funded emergency air<br />
ambulance service in Scotland. SCAA is an<br />
independent registered charity, solely<br />
funded by the communities of Scotland. It is<br />
based in Perth, which is ideally placed to<br />
support East Central Scotland and to<br />
provide back-up to the two Scottish<br />
Ambulance Service helicopters in Inverness<br />
and Glasgow.<br />
Our helicopter resource increases the air<br />
ambulance capacity and resilience across<br />
Scotland by 50% and it will be tasked to<br />
time–critical medical emergencies where it<br />
will:<br />
• Save life<br />
• Preserve life<br />
• Increase survival rates
St Andrew’s Children’s<br />
Society – SafeBase Parenting<br />
Programme<br />
In Scotland, one in five adoptions breaks<br />
down in early years because of<br />
insurmountable relationship difficulties<br />
between the adopted child and their<br />
adopters. This leads to children being<br />
returned to local authority care with<br />
resulting emotional trauma for both the child<br />
and the adopter.<br />
The SafeBase Parenting Programme has<br />
become a very important support service for<br />
parents experiencing relationship and<br />
behavioural problems with their adopted<br />
child.<br />
Typical behaviours experienced by SafeBase<br />
families before training include both physical<br />
and verbal aggression which is unpredictable<br />
and impulsive. Tantrums which become<br />
oppositional and controlling are common.<br />
Children frequently show anxiety as a means<br />
of attention seeking. All of this leads to the<br />
development of attachment difficulties<br />
between the parents and the adopted child,<br />
leading to additional difficulties within the<br />
extended family.<br />
Within the four day SafeBase programme is<br />
Theraplay, an attachment-based approach<br />
using structure and play to help challenging<br />
children and their families. It assists parents in<br />
providing their child with a more relaxed and<br />
rewarding way of developing relationships.<br />
Thank you to the <strong>Royal</strong> <strong>Caledonian</strong> <strong>Ball</strong> for<br />
your donation of £3,000 from you last <strong>Ball</strong>.<br />
Your support is very much appreciated by the<br />
staff who delivers the training and the<br />
SafeBase families.<br />

The Monymusk<br />
Arts Trust<br />
Aberdeenshire<br />
Since<br />
opening in<br />
1990 this<br />
little Arts<br />
Centre<br />
has been<br />
astonishingly successful in providing a window<br />
for all the arts, for visitors of all ages, from all<br />
walks of life and from all over the world. It<br />
was founded in 1987 to preserve and renovate<br />
a small, disused, 18th century building as a<br />
centre for encouraging all forms of the arts in<br />
the area.<br />
Originally built in the 18th century as a<br />
lapidary (stone-polishing) mill, it was turned<br />
into an Episcopal Church in 1801 but was<br />
boarded up in 1939 and had lain disused since<br />
the war.<br />
It is a beautiful little Georgian building and its<br />
acoustics are renowned. The Scots have a<br />
reputation for their appreciation of music and<br />
famous musicians from all over the world have<br />
performed here, as well as young musicians<br />
from the university, academies or primaries.<br />
The Centre is open daily from May to<br />
September with crafts for sale and art<br />
exhibitions. It has been fully supported by the<br />
village people since its inception and a<br />
generation have grown up not knowing the<br />
village without the Trust’s activities.<br />
Until 2008 up to three-quarters of the Trust’s<br />
funding was raised using the estate for fundraising<br />
events, with support from<br />
Aberdeenshire Council. Both these have<br />
ceased and the Trust’s financial situation is now<br />
critical, so we are extremely grateful for The<br />
<strong>Royal</strong> <strong>Caledonian</strong> <strong>Ball</strong> Trust’s donation which<br />
ensured our concert programme this winter.<br />

The story of Kinloch Anderson began<br />
as a tailoring partnership between a<br />
father and his two sons 145 years<br />
ago. The management of our family-owned<br />
company thereafter has passed directly from<br />
father to son until the present day when<br />
John Kinloch Anderson, the sixth generation<br />
is the Chief Executive and his brother, Peter,<br />
the Director of Brand Development. The<br />
fifth generation remain fully active with<br />
Douglas as Chairman and Deirdre as Senior<br />
Director.<br />

As foremost experts in Highland Dress since<br />
1868 we are renowned in Edinburgh for kilt<br />
making, all Highland Dress clothing and<br />
accessories, ladies’ skirts, Scottish textiles<br />
and gifts. The original activity of kilt making<br />
The Kinloch Anderson Story<br />
34<br />
and Highland Dress remains central to the<br />
Company’s image and we are proud to hold<br />
<strong>Royal</strong> Appointments as Tailors and<br />
Kiltmakers to HM The Queen, HRH The<br />
Duke of Edinburgh and HRH The Prince of<br />
Wales.<br />
From 19th to 21st century and still market leaders in Highland Dress<br />
We have a spacious shop in Leith where we<br />
offer friendly service and professional<br />
advice. Renowned for made to measure<br />
kilts we have over 2,000 tartans in our<br />
ranges which are also available for trousers,<br />
waistcoats, skirts and other items to be<br />
made in the tartan of your choice. Our<br />
heritage story is told in our Heritage Room<br />
Museum which was transformed last year<br />
and now takes you from our humble<br />
beginnings through Military and Civilian<br />
uniforms, the manufacture of ladies’ Scottish<br />
skirts, the <strong>Royal</strong> Family tartan connections<br />
and right up to the development of the<br />
Kinloch Anderson Brand overseas. There is<br />
a large screen for presentations and<br />
continuous digital display of Kinloch<br />
Anderson merchandise made under licence<br />
and sold in over 300 shops in the Far East.
In 1979 we were awarded the Queen’s<br />
Award for Export which was based at that<br />
time on the manufacture of classic ladies’<br />
Scottish skirts in tartan or tweed mostly<br />
exported to European countries and Japan.<br />
Our skirt making activity continues in our<br />
now smaller Production Unit in Leith.<br />
We believe in quality but<br />
we also believe in being<br />
flexible and versatile. The<br />
Breacan is a more recent<br />
Kinloch Anderson kilted<br />
garment specially designed<br />
to meet the Scots’ desire to<br />
dress in a more casual way.<br />
It is not a substitute for the<br />
traditional kilt, rather it<br />
The Heritage Room<br />
35<br />
maintains Kinloch Anderson’s quality<br />
standards but is made ready to wear, in<br />
standard sizes and therefore at a more<br />
affordable price.<br />
Our tartan expertise extends beyond our<br />
service and advice to customers in the Shop.<br />
We also specialise in the design and<br />
development of exclusive tartans for<br />
individuals, companies and organisations<br />
who thereby want to own, wear and enjoy<br />
the use of their special Scottish identity.<br />
These include whisky companies,<br />
universities and schools, sporting<br />
organisations and charities.<br />
The Racing Stewart Team<br />
The Kinloch Anderson philosophy is to be<br />
true to our ideal of providing quality<br />
merchandise with a strong Scottish emphasis<br />
in a global niche market and to be a role<br />
model for Scotland, upholding the highest<br />
principles of integrity and service.<br />
We very much hope that if you come to<br />
Scotland you will visit Kinloch Anderson<br />
in Leith as each and every one of you will<br />
be most welcome.
Alongside whisky, tartan and a some<br />
fiendishly complicated Highland<br />
dances, Scottish salmon fishing has<br />
an iconic reputation that occupies the minds<br />
of serious fishermen from all over the<br />
world. As with many stories about our<br />
natural world, there is a lingering<br />
perception that things aren’t quite as good as<br />
they used to be and that a day on the river<br />
might not quite compare with the stories<br />
you have read in your grandfather’s fishing<br />
diary. But is this perception a reality or are<br />
we all victims of a bottle-half-empty<br />
mentality that might be clouding our<br />
judgement?<br />
For a start we know a great deal more about<br />
the Atlantic salmon in Scotland than we did<br />
50 years ago. We now have a good idea<br />
where the salmon travels to at sea. We have a<br />
much better feel for how many of them<br />
Scotland’s Atlantic Salmon<br />
A Natural Resource To Be Proud Of<br />
36<br />
return and are starting to understand at least<br />
some of the hidden secrets of this most<br />
mercurial of fish, not least that each<br />
catchment in Scotland - indeed each<br />
tributary - seems to be occupied by fairly<br />
discrete salmon “clans” that are genetically<br />
quite distinct from each other. This<br />
knowledge helps Scotland’s salmon
managers look after their salmon stocks in a<br />
more informed way. And whilst it is true<br />
that salmon are finding life, during the years<br />
that they spend at sea, harder - possibly as a<br />
result of significant changes in the marine<br />
climate - managers at home are learning<br />
how to offset some of the these problems<br />
through a number of management measures.<br />
For example, Scotland’s salmon fishermen<br />
now return over 70% of the fish they catch,<br />
allowing fishermen to enjoy their sport<br />
whilst significantly reducing the impact on<br />
populations. Furthermore net fisheries that,<br />
in the 1960’s, took as many as half a million<br />
fish a year now take a mere 10-20000 due to<br />
net buy outs for conservation. Habitats have<br />
been restored and large parts of catchments<br />
that were not accessible to fish have been<br />
made so through the removal of weirs and<br />
dams allowing whole tributaries, that have<br />
been blocked since the industrial revolution,<br />
37<br />
to flourish. On top of this the quality of<br />
Scotland’s rivers has steadily improved due<br />
to tighter environmental regulations. Even<br />
heavily industrialised rivers like the River<br />
Clyde are now seeing salmon swimming<br />
amidst the tenements of downtown<br />
Glasgow.<br />
Scotland’s salmon fishermen now catch<br />
around 85-95000 salmon a year. In 2010 the<br />
highest ever rod catch was recorded during a<br />
bumper year that saw 110,000 fish caught by<br />
anglers. This is proof that, despite all the<br />
problems facing our natural environment,<br />
this fabulous fish can still produce thrilling<br />
sport the match of salmon fishing anywhere<br />
else in the world. Scotland also enjoys an<br />
eleven month long season during most of<br />
which Norwegian, Icelandic and Russian<br />
fishermen are staring gloomily into their<br />
vodka glasses in perpetual darkness.<br />
Combine this with the great traditions of the<br />
sport, for which Scotland is very much the<br />
mother-ship, and the significant number of<br />
jobs (over 2500) in the rural economy and it<br />
is quite clear that this very <strong>Caledonian</strong><br />
resource is something that, yes, continues to<br />
need nurturing and protecting, but of which<br />
we can all still feel justifiably proud. For<br />
