Hello everyone! We have been hidden away writing and crafting our PhD’s BUT we are venturing out into the wide-world over Easter to experience some of these great Heritage Hits in 2019. Over 2019, we have some exciting projects bubbling away in the background of our academic studies and hopefully we will be able to share…

Let’s Talk About Vaginas
That title got your attention didn’t it! The spark that inspired this post is a documentary everyone must watch called 100 Vaginas which aired recently on Channel 4. It should be made a part of the curriculum as far as I’m concerned, it is compulsory viewing for teenagers and adults of all ages and genders….

Heritage Hits – Things to do in Autumn
Hello all! We are very sorry for the radio silence over the last few weeks but due to the recent events in Glasgow (namely a second fire at a very well-known building) and our PhD’s, we have been a bit snowed under with work. We have however, managed to compile a list of ‘heritage hits’…

Painted Ladies & Kellie Castle
As you may have noticed, we have been very quiet over the last couple of months. Really, this is due to our PhD’s and other heritage projects taking over our lives which we whole-heartedly apologise for. To prove how busy we have been, over the next couple of months we will be presenting some of…
The Winter Lowdown: January-March
It’s cold, I’m overweight, and my liver is screaming at me to stop drinking. This can only mean one thing… It’s January! I am in the very fortunate position that I LOVE my job, but my first Monday back in the office was not easy, the Christmas fog caused by gluttony and slothful behaviour had…
Exhibition Review: Modern Scottish Women, Scottish Gallery of Modern Art
On a sunny/rainy/humid Scottish summers day, the History Girls made their way through the crowds of Princes Street to the relative calm of the Scottish Galleries of Modern Art, known as Modern One & Two. The Modern Scottish Women exhibition at Modern Two closes on the 26th of June, so we decided to do a…
GSA Degree Show 2016
Last week both Rachael and myself were lucky enough to be invited along to the Glasgow School of Art Degree Show 2016. Although we very much enjoyed partaking in the free booze, we both managed to take some great photographs of the work displayed at the Reid Building and the fantastic fashion show. For…
Exhibition Review: Turner at the Scottish National Gallery
An exhibition? In January? Are you mad? No I’m not, and never fear, it’s free! I know you are all poor, tired, fed up, and wondering whether humans could hibernate, but this is exactly why you should pile some clothes on top of your jammies and drag yourself to the Scottish National Gallery in Edinburgh for…
Head to Head at the Scottish National Portrait Gallery
I recently spent a very enjoyable afternoon at the Scottish National Portrait Gallery, a deliciously fun visit if, like me, you are interested in dress and textiles. But on this particular visit I tore myself away from the brocades and tartans for a while, and wandered around the temporary sculpture exhibition in the contemporary gallery on…
