[1021] Lighthouses & Citadels

South Ayrshire combined lighthouses, museums, art, drama and oral history skills in an education initiative. School pupils visited Mull of Galloway Lighthouse, Kinnaird Head Museum of Scottish Lighthouses in Fraserburgh, the McKechnie Institute Ailsa Craig Exhibition and Ailsa Craig itself.

At the McKechnie pupils also interviewed former Light Keepers and their families, viewed the museum collections and learned about the end of the manned Light. The resulting oral histories are contained in this project.

[1008] Stained Glass Windows of Burnside Blairbeth Church

Oscar Paterson (1836 - 1934) designed Stained Glass Windows at Burnside Blairbeth Church, Burnside, Rutherglen. Paterson ran a stained glass studio in Glasgow until 1931. Oscar Paterson's work can be seen in many churches throughout Scotland from Crichton Memorial Church in Dumfries to St Magnus Cathedral in Orkney. The windows in Burnside Church are particularly fine examples of his work and, since there is over 20 years between their design and commissioning, show the development of Oscar Paterson's style.
