 St Margaret's House, artists residency, Nr Restalrig, Edinburgh.  Edinburgh Art Festival 2017 

​A residency (​25th July - 27th August ) at St Margaret's House, Restalrig, Edinburgh as part of the Edinburgh Art Festival 2017. 

 ....starting to see the end: a collaborative retreat, was a collaboration with Christine Devaney and four other outstanding artists. Musician, Luke Sutherland,  multi-media artist, Margarita Vazquez Ponte, musician Nik Paget-Tomlinson, visual artist Evy Tjåland
and Alison Koehler ( glass artist) flew in from Paris to be with us for the closing event. 
The site of The Royal Chapel of King James III and St Triduana’s Holy Well was my starting point for the residency as it is with in walking distance from the galleries.
The legend of St Triduana is she was pious girl who wanted only to dedicate her life to God so when the King of Picts (4thC) commented on the beauty of her eyes she plucked them out and fled to Restilrig. Those suffering from diseases of the eyes would pilgrim there and St. Triduana would bathe their eyes in the natural spring that flowed (and still does to this day!)  from the well and they would be healed. After her death, St Triduana's tomb continued to be a place of pilgrimage. This is possibly why James III of Scotland chose this site for his Royal Chapel (15thC) or perhaps he too suffered from a disease of the eyes.
