Hospitalfield House is an arts centre and historic house in Arbroath, Angus, Scotland, regarded as "one of the finest country houses in Scotland". It is believed to be "Scotland's first school of fine art" and the first art college in Britain. It is a registered charity under Scottish law. A range of prominent Scottish artists have worked there, including Joan Eardley, Peter Howson, Will Maclean, Robert Colquhoun, Robert MacBryde, William Gear, Alasdair Gray, Wendy McMurdo, and Callum Innes.
A hospital was founded on the site in the 13th century by monks from nearby Arbroath Abbey as a leprosy and plague hospice called the Hospital of St John the Baptist. The property was purchased by the Reverend James Fraser around 1664 and was subsequently owned by successive generations of the Fraser family. Walter Scott visited the house in 1813, and he used it as the model for "Monkbarns" in his novel The Antiquary (1816).
The last Fraser to own the property was the wealthy heiress Elizabeth Fraser (1805–1873). In 1843, she married Scottish artist Patrick Allan, who later added the Fraser surname to his and became known as Patrick Allan-Fraser. The son of an Arbroath weaving merchant, he had studied art in Edinburgh and became a painter. In 1842, he had been commissioned to do a series of illustrations for an edition of Scott's The Antiquary. While carrying out this work, he had visited Hospitalfield House that year and met Elizabeth Fraser, who was a widow eight years his senior, and they were married the following year.
Together, they embarked on substantial remodelling of Hospitalfield House. The renovations used mainly local craftsmen and converted an 18th-century barn into a gallery, added a five-storey bartizan and a large wing. He had a keen interest in the arts and set up the Patrick Allan-Fraser of Hospitalfield Trust to support young artists. Hospitalfield House was bequeathed "for the promotion of Education in the Arts" upon the death of Allan-Fraser in 1890, there being no heirs to his estate.
The building is now a residential art centre, music and conference venue. It is open to the public for four open weekends per year and for other events, including afternoon tours on the first Wednesday of each month.
In 2008, it was used as a film location for the docu-drama "Children of the Dead End", starring Stephen Rea.
In 2015, Hospitalfield curated and organised Graham Fagen's exhibition for Scotland + Venice, a collateral event of the 56th International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia.
Architecture
The red sandstone building is in the Gothic style and draws on medieval domestic architecture. Allan-Fraser was heavily indebted to the Arts and Crafts movement; this is evident in the design of the building, which features crenallated parapets, crow-stepped gables and oriel windows. In 1901, a new studio block was added with north-west facing windows. A smaller room contains a skylight, and there are yards for outdoor sculpture

The human race will always be besieged by plagues. It is one of the drawbacks of being in these human vehicles. Try to find some happiness in each day. It's all one can do, when in a pandemic, or in more normal times.
Much respect to all medical workers, all doctors, nurses, Emergency Response workers, pharmacy staff, i wish them all the best, Bless them.

Colour re-edit of a shot from September 2020 that, for me, really sums up the "epidemiological stupidity" of decisions being made in England on July 19th 2021. Thankfully a slightly more cautious approach is being taken here in Scotland but that message is weakened by the actions taken south of the border. Stay safe my Flickr Friends!

This is the "The Alligator Car", named after the way the sides of the cockpit bow out where the fuel tanks are located.
Designed by Ralph Bellamy, the car features the mid-mounted Cosworth DFV V8 and Hewland 5-speed manual gearbox that many of its peers of the period ran.
The cars driver list for 1971 includes Peter Revson, Denny Hulme, Jody Scheckter and Jackie Oliver, but even so, reliability plagued the M19A and it finished down in sixth place in that years championship.
It's in interesting car, and was one of the final cars before the high air box period where the engines became covered in body work. I especially love the tobacco coloured screen, which seems to suit it so well.

Plague Soldier Beetle.
It is still something of a mystery why the Plague soldier beetle (Chauliognathus lugubris), a native species found in temperate southeastern Australia, occasionally builds up to massive numbers. Its grubs live in the soil, feeding on other small creatures. The adult beetles don’t seem to eat the plants they settle on, although the sheer weight of a mass of them may break weaker twigs. What they are more interested in is sucking nectar from flowering trees, and mating.
