From West Lothian to the Western Isles: Scotland's Cinemas - Free Virtual Talk!

Sound the Klaxons!!! Since the current restrictions have put an end, for now, to our talks series, we have decided to take a leap into the digital world and have some online talks. So exciting! Sadly you'll have to provide your own chocolate biscuits but we are looking forward to seeing you there.

Our very own Trustee, Gordon Barr, is going to kick us off on December 10th at 7.30pm.

The Scottish Cinemas & Theatres Project (www.scottishcinemas.org) has been recording and researching Scotland's palaces of entertainment for nearly 20 years. Gordon will lead us through the social and architectural history of this often overlooked part of history.

From West Lothian to the Western Isles, from Bathgate to Bo’ness, from Armadale to Aberdeen, Scotland has some of the most architecturally diverse cinema buildings of anywhere in the world. Gordon will cover the full range of cinema history, from converted roller-skating rinks, via the earliest purpose built halls to the finest thirties art deco super-cinemas. He will highlight some of the most interesting buildings, eccentric architects, and unusual discoveries (including a prancing deer!).

Discover cinemas that were, cinemas that are, and cinemas that might have been. Although many cinema buildings have been demolished or converted, there are still a lot of interesting gems to discover if you know where to look
