Welcome
This website documents the Masters of Design project "Crathes Castle | A Visual History" by Iain Morrison who studied part time over two years at Gray's School of Art, The Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen. The project was completed in Septemeber 2011.
The project investigates the visual history of Crathes Castle by gathering over four hundred images and references of the castle dating back to when it was first built and documents them chronologically. This data is then presented through the visual outcomes of 3D timelines, information graphics, time lapse movie, books and portraits of staff. In doing this I hope to create a body of work which will not only be of academic value but that will also serve as a permanent visual record for the public of one of the North East’s most important historical buildings. Iain Morrison This project would not have been possible with out the kind help and support of
The National Trust for Scotland plus the staff at Crathes Castle with special thanks to Gareth Clingan and Julia Davison. For further information about The National Trust for Scotland please visit their website at: http://www.nts.org.uk |
