  Stirling Countryside Artworks

  Artworks were commissioned for integration into new road, foot and cycle routes around Stirling. Incorporating the work of artists into the landscaping proposals was seen as a desirable alternative to the conventional approaches to transport routes.

  The commissions involved collaboration across artists, engineers, landscape architects and the public audience illustrating the breadth of cross-discipline relationships that can form in the creation of public artworks.

  The SAC monitoring process revealed some concerns about the progress of one of the artworks but these concerns disappeared as the work was created and installed on site.

  One other work was substantially delayed because the site was found to be contaminated. Once the site had been cleared of all contaminated material the work continued.

  These two challenges were faced by the project management and the SAC was kept informed of their developments, leading to successfully installed work.

  New National Flags for Scotland

  With the advent of a devolved Scottish Parliament and as part of the 700th Anniversary celebrations for the Battle of Stirling Bridge, ten Scottish flags were commissioned from ten artists. The flags are designed to reflect the artists’ emblematic vision of Scotland. This project was part of wider programme of artistic and cultural events initiated by Stirling Council as part of the Anniversary celebrations.

  The intention behind New National Flags for Scotland was to reflect and explore the theme of Scottish cultural diversity and identity whilst providing access to contemporary artworks in an area actively developing the provision of art in public places.

  Creative Spaces

  Creative Spaces is the name given to a series of public artworks conceived and led by artist, Peter McCaughey. The artworks have been created through collaboration between Peter and the community of Raploch. A significant characteristic of this project was the mentoring programme that has resulted in 12 mentees going on to employment and higher education.

  The sites for these creative spaces are located along the Riverwalk in Raploch and the project is part of a ten year regeneration programme for the area.
