SUMMARY:Exhibition: Stories from the Soil\,
DESCRIPTION:How the ground holds history.\nFor thousands of years\, people on the Black Isle have placed objects in the ground through burial\, work\, loss\, concealment and everyday life. Some acts were deliberate\, others accidental. All became part of the soil. \nThe ground does not simply preserve these traces. Metal corrodes\, clay breaks\, and objects move and fragment over time. When they are rediscovered\, they return changed\, carrying layered histories of making\, use\, repair\, deposition and rediscovery. \n‘Stories from the Soil’ explores how objects found around Rosemarkie and the wider Black Isle reveal these overlapping histories. The exhibition brings together archaeological finds ranging from Bronze Age cremation urns to early modern coins and jewellery. \nHighlights include:\nA repaired Bronze Age cremation urn that contained human remains and beads from a funerary burial.\nThe Munlochy silver coin hoard\, a group of coins buried in the early 17th century.\nA rare “elf-shot” charm\, where a prehistoric flint arrowhead was later mounted in silver and worn as protection. \nContemporary Responses\nArtists have also been invited to respond to the themes of ‘Stories from the Soil’. Their works can be seen in the exhibition\, creating a dialogue between archaeological objects and contemporary artistic practice.

SUMMARY:Celtic rug design and George Bain’s life in retirement
DESCRIPTION:Join Alastair Morton in this online lecture about what may be George Bain’s most productive period \n\n\n\n\nGeorge Bain\, the “father of modern Celtic design”\, retired to Drumnadrochit in 1946 and set about trying to establish a “College of Celtic Cultures”. One of his many activities was designing Celtic rugs for Quayle and Tranter Ltd. Last year\, Alastair spoke about the rug designs that went into commercial production. In this talk\, we will look at the other known designs but also at what can be gleaned from Bain’s correspondence about his other activities in retirement. In some ways\, this was his most productive period.

SUMMARY:What lies beneath? Pictish Monsters and the Living Frame
DESCRIPTION:Find out all about Pictish monsters in this talk by Heather Pulliam\, Professor of Medieval Art at Edinburgh School of Art \n\n\n\n\nMedieval art is known for its monsters\, but Pictish art seems to take it to the next level. Drawn from her new book\, “Art\, Nature and the Body in Early Medieval Art” (Cambridge University Press\, 2026)\, Heather’s talk addresses the many questions raised by the monsters that crawl\, slither\, and climb across the sculptural surfaces of Pictish art. While her focus is primarily on sculpture\, she also considers the Book of Kells and the Book of Deer. The talk begins by asking what a monster is\, and what it means to be monstrous. It then turns to ask: What do Pictish monsters do for Pictish art? Why do they feature on so many monuments\, in so many positions on these monuments\, including places normally reserved in medieval art for the most sacred and divine figures? Finally\, it briefly considers how the settings of these monuments might help us better understand the role of monsters in Pictish art. \n\n\n\n\nThis lecture is our Annual Academic Lecture\, part of the Groam House Museum lecture series for 2026.
