I went on a visit to the Royal Museum and to the Museum of Scotland today in Scotalnd's capital city, Edinburgh. I took a huge number of photographs, but I also decided to hav a fiddle with the video feature, because it's quite a lot of fun, and sometimes stuff in museums moves! Wowee! I didn't record the Millenium Clock moving because I didn't think you lot really deserved to see it, scum that you are. Take the trip to Edinburgh and see it for yourselves, David will heartily agree that it's a good enough watch, better than that stupid pump upstairs in the museum of Scotland, and it only lasts a few minutes, so you're not standing around too long. |

Also known as "MacPherson's Farewell" or "MacPherson's Rant", this song is supposed to have been composed by James MacPherson himself in Prison on the eve of his execution for cattle rustling. It has also been attributed to Robert Burns, among others. James was born in 1675, and became the leader of a gypsy gang of robbers, as well as an excellent fiddler. He was eventually caught in the town of Keith where a woman threw a blanket out of a window trapping him so that his pursuers could arrest him. He was found guilty at his trial in Banff and sentenced to hang. On the day of his execution, in 1700, the magistrates knew a reprieve was on its way from Aberdeen, so they put the town clock forward by 20 minutes so James could be hanged before the specified time. The legend has it that he played this tune on the gallows, then offered his fiddle to anyone in his clan who would play it at his wake. When no one accepted his offer, he broke it then threw it into the crowd, which doesn't quite fit the words of this version of the song. A broken fiddle, supposedly MacPherson's, may be seen at the Clan MacPherson Museum in Scotland.
It has been recorded by many artists including The Weavers, Theodore Bikel, Ewan MacColl, The Clancy Brothers and The Corries. |

My family and I went to Scotland back in 2004 and I recently found the video I took.
It was undoubtedly the best holiday of my life so far and I would definitely recommend Scotland to anyone.
This video covers Edinburgh. It's a beautiful city - I just wish I could have taken more video of it besides the castle. I can't recall why I didn't!
Anyway - there's a bit of a story here. We were driving through the city when I looked out of the window towards a museum. Hanging outside were two giant posters of C-3PO!!
I pointed this out to my comrades in arms and we immediately made our way closer. It turned out to be a traveling Star Wars exhibition!
Oh, and by the way - I know the clock on my video camera is wrong! Lucky I've got a nice new one now! |

The video introduces St Mungo Museum of Religious Life and Art in Glasgow, which has been described as the first public museum of religion in the world. Do note, however, that the Museum of Religions at the University of Marburg, Germany was founded in 1927 by Rudolf Otto. It contains a considerable number of artefacts and iconographic materials drawn from religions across the world (information provided by Professor Michael Pye, University of Marburg). There is also the Lenin Museum of Religion and Atheism in Moscow, but that institution makes no attempt to present religion in either an objective or comparative fashion. Of course, no museum can be described as value-free; none are objective or exist outside their social, political and funding contexts. The St Mungo Museum was not a planned museum: the building was constructed as a visitor's centre for Glasgow Cathedral, with which it shares a site, but the Cathedral abandoned the project owing to financial difficulties. This left the city council with a functionless, half-completed building in an area of Glasgow visited by many tourists. Finally, it was decided to use the already existing resources in the Glasgow Museums' collections to open a specialist centre around the theme of religion.
The Museum is divided into three parts: one houses a collection of religious art from various traditions, another is devoted to the human lifecycle as it is understood/celebrated across a range of religious traditions, and the third concentrates on the history of religion in Scotland. While you may initially see the museum depicted in the video as a tranquil, typical and uncontested example of public education, in reality it has been the centre of heated debate since it opened. Especially soon after its opening, the Museum has generated considerable controversy, ranging from complaints about perceived unequal treatment of traditions, to actual physical attacks on exhibits.
Some members of particular traditions have complained about being included in a comparative display with other religions that they consider to be 'false', while other members of the same groups have felt that their traditions were under-represented in the displays. An interesting feature of each room is the bulletin boards, where visitors are actively encouraged to respond to the exhibits. The notes make it clear that religion and how it is represented is still capable of rousing passionate feelings in many. One offended visitor in 1993 wrote, 'St. Mungo's; where Satan is free to run rampant'. However, the majority of comments are positive.
As the senior curator of Glasgow Museums explained, the St Mungo Museum set out to do something different, something contentious:
If the aim was to communicate something of the meaning of the objects, we had to reverse the usual process in museums of draining them of their dangerous meanings to render them safely aesthetic, historical or anthropological. In the case of religion 'meaning' has an emotional and spiritual dimension that can be described much more powerfully by those who experience it than those who have simply studied it.
(O'Neill, 1994, p.28)
As a result of this approach, the Museum decided to interview 'ordinary' believers and incorporate their comments into the displays, rather than relying on the views of priests, religious professionals or scholars. The Museum wanted to portray the traditions sympathetically, yet retain the right to criticize: this has proved a difficult balance to achieve. For example, the owners of material that had once belonged to the missionary and explorer David Livingstone threatened to withdraw it unless the Museum altered the text of a caption that expressed the view that missionary work had damaged indigenous cultures. Others have shown offence at photographs of the face of a girl undergoing ritual circumcision; still others have physically attacked non-Christian artefacts, damaging an important bronze image of the Hindu god Shiva (Figure 3). Some cathedrals have signs reminding visitors that they are places of worship, not museums. In contrast, St Mungo's is a museum where, as with the Victoria and Albert example shown in Figure 1, some people interact with the exhibits in a devotional manner. The museum's stated goal, however, is a more neutral one (or is it?): 'to reflect the central importance of religion in human life' (Arthur, 1993, p.232).

This film is, I would imagine the earliest we have of Victoria in colour. It's wonderful to see and hear her, still in her vocal prime. Years later our regret is the film didn't last for three hours! Some colour film exists later in her career, all of them highly commendable and lovable, but this catches her at just the right moment, in music she knew so well. Nice also to have the great Segovia and de Larrocha. Well done Video Artists International, and many thanks for permitting me to post this. DVD 4325. Open all Regions. Region 0.
Best wishes to all,
