Susan Oliver takes a close look at a familiar sight of the Scottish coast - the Bass Rock. She shows how natural philosophers, writers, & artists in the late C18th & early C19th 'embodied what we now regard as interdisciplinary approaches to knowledge'.

Thanks to Marie Sklodowska-Curie funding, we were able to commission the wonderful Christina Riley to reflect on what Romanticism might mean to the C21st artist. Her illustrated essay on 'Fragments of Romance' is a tender piece on place. image caption below!

Back from a residential Writing Retreat at The Burn! What a place & what a great group of researchers. Had great fun facilitating plenty of writing, while also enjoying woodland walks, and playing a game of chess. Thanks to @iashedinburgh.bsky.social for organising!
