Her current owner keeps her in original condition and she regularly visits events in the UK and Eire for RNLI fundraising purposes. |
Scotland’s Central Region (Emma Shipton)
| Sponsor, if appropriate | Central Regional Council |
| Type of object | Sculpture or other artwork |
| Current situation | Known |
| Current location, if known | The Stirling Smith Art Gallery and Museum (lecture theatre) |
| Notes | This striking, stained glass panel was made by artist Emma Shipton of Aurora Glass in Alloa. It was commissioned by the Central Regional Council for their display at the Glasgow Garden Festival in 1988. The Central Regional Council was the administrative body for the Stirling, Clackmannan and Falkirk areas for more than 20 years. Some of their most prominent landmarks feature in this design. The vibrant blues of that strategic central waterway, the Forth, flow from the soft greens and heathers of central Scotland’s hills. The area’s links to the nation’s history are clear, with Stirling Castle and the Wallace Monument. Local industry is represented by the textile mills of the Hillfoots, by the winding gear so symbolic of the coal mines east of Stirling, and by the refinery at Grangemouth. After the exhibition at the Festival, the panel was installed at the entrance to the Council Chamber at Old Viewforth in Stirling. When this space was later refurbished by Stirling Council the panel was given into the care of The Smith Art Gallery and Museum. |
Dalswinton Steam Boat
| Garden Festival 'zone' | The Rendezvous |
| Sponsor, if appropriate | Dumfries & Galloway Council or Dumfries & Galloway College (?) |
| Type of object | Vehicle, boat or ship |
| Current situation | Known |
| Current location, if known | Dalswinton Estate |
| Notes | Assumed to be part of the Dumfries and Galloway exhibit. After an initial research and feasibility study undertaken by John Bowie (a retired marine engineer) there was a Work experience /Youth training scheme devised, also supervised by John, to build a replica of the first known steamboat, which sailed on Dalswinton Loch in 1788. It was built in a small warehouse in High St. (Maxwellton), Dumfries and then displayed at the Garden Festival. After the festival it returned to Dumfries and was in the grounds of Dumfries and Galloway College (at that time in Heathall). At some point since then it was moved to the Dalswinton Estate (just North of Dumfries) where it is exhibited as part of the estate. |
