Patrick Geddes’s Influence on France and Beyond
The subject of this article is the Scottish thinker Patrick Geddes (1854-1932) and his international context with specific reference to France. Geddes’s follower Lewis Mumford gives us a sense of this when he wrote ‘Geddes’s Scotland embraced Europe and his Europe embraced the World’ (Mumford 383). Geddes was an inheritor of the Scottish enlightenment philosophical tradition of interdisciplinary thinking and aspects of that Scottish tradition, in…
The Enemy Within? The Connection between Insider Threat and Terrorism
There is a need to understand the wider aspects of insider threats, including motivations and attack methodologies, and to be able to demonstrate the potential devastation that could be caused. Organizations can attempt to mitigate the potential for insider infiltration by both terrorist and other hostile actors, and if such individuals were within an organization, there are procedures and strategies that can be employed to prevent exploitation o…

Art as an Expression of Northernness
This paper explores the idea of ‘northernness’ with respect to the Highlands of Scotland, in the process touching on both prehistoric and contemporary art. It is an outcome of the AHRC-funded project ‘Window to the West: Towards a Redefinition of the Visual within Gaelic Scotland’ (PI Macdonald). It is a direct contribution to the development of a research network currently being led by Dr Ysanne Holt of Northumbria University, editor of Visual C…

Highland art begins with prehistoric rock art of world importance. It extends into the present with internationally recognised contemporary art, such as that generated by An Leabhar Mor-The Great Book of Gaelic in 2002. In exploring this history I investigate continuities, gaps and international link…

Reflections on reading Hamish Henderson's ‘Alias Macalias’
A week or so after the general election of April 1992 several hundred people encircled the Royal High School building in Edinburgh and sang Hamish Henderson's 'Freedom Come All Ye'. This was just one of a number of major events at which this song was sung in the immediate post-election period and for many the election changed it overnight from a respected piece of poetry into a symbol of the constitutional will of the community; it has remained s…
