Round Our Place Ravenscraig

1 ECHOES

Round Our Place Ravenscraig is a creative Soundwalk project developed with and by the people of North Lanarkshire who live in the area of the former Ravenscraig Steelworks.

This project explores the transformation of this post-industrial landscape through voices, memories, and dreams of the future.

Last September, local amateur botanist Hamshya Rajkumar and Tricky Hat hosted walking workshops, encouraging participants to engage with Ravenscraig's unique plant and wildlife while sharing personal stories and reflections on what the land means to them as it enters a new phase of regeneration.

Led by Tricky Hat Associate Digital Artist Kim Beveridge, who grew up in North Lanarkshire, Round Our Place Ravenscraig captures the connections between people and place by gathering stories that map the past, present, and possible futures of Ravenscraig.

Round Our Place Ravenscraig is a Tricky Hat Productions project, funded by Creative Scotland and developed in partnership with North Lanarkshire Council, the local Duke of Edinburgh program, and Measuring Humanity at the University of Edinburgh.

Machair soundwalk, Music and/as Process

Glasgow
This 40-minute soundwalk starts in St Mungo Square, outside the University of Glasgow Advanced Research Centre Building (11 Chapel Ln, Glasgow G11 6EW). The walking route is a 2-mile loop mapped to established paths around Kelvingrove Park, returning to St Mungo Square. About the soundwalk: Commissioned by Taigh Chearsabhagh Museum & Arts Centre, this soundwalk explores the traditions and ecology of Uist’s machair. A Gaelic word meaning fertile, low-lying grassy plain, machair is one of Europe's rarest yet most species-rich habitats; only occurring on the exposed west-facing shores of Scotland and Ireland, 70% of which is found on Uist. Generations of low-intensity farming have shaped this unique landscape and encouraged wildlife over millennia. Developed in partnership with the local community, this work combines spoken narratives, field recordings, and compositions with archival sound recordings from Edinburgh University’s School of Scottish Studies, that chart over 70-years of oral history. Contributors: Freddie MacDonald, Seoras MacDonald, Alisdair MacEachen, Anne MacLellan, and Matthew Topsfield. Production team: Duncan MacLeod (composer), Kirsty MacDonald & Mairi McFadyen (creative ethnologists), and Sorcha Monk (creative producer). Cover photo: Liniclate machair, Tara Drummie, 2022.
