SUMMARY:Doors Open Day - Bogward Doocot\, St Andrews
DESCRIPTION:   \nJoin us on Sunday 8th September for an interesting peek inside the Doocot\, a wander around the Lade Braes and to find out more about our preservation goals\, events and membership.  Activities for adults and children alike include storytelling by a professional storyteller and a guided walk of the Boase woodland.  Refreshments and leaflets will also be available. \n \nThe Bogward Doocot is a sixteenth century building of the ‘beehive’ type\, so called because the circular shape resembled the bee-skeps or hives of the time. As recently as the 1960s it was part of the Bogward Farm and no modern houses then straddled the Lade Braes walk. About a mile out of central St Andrews\, it can be reached on foot via the Lade Braes walk or by car via the Canongate or Hepburn Gardens\, then turning into Bogward and then Doocot Road.  \n \nVenue: Bogward Doocot\, 44 Doocot Road\, St Andrews\, KY16 8QP   \nDate: Sunday 8th September 2024 \nTime: 11am – 4pm\, entry as desired \n  \nUnfortunately\, the venue is not accessible for wheelchair users and is not equipped with toilet facilities.

SUMMARY:Autumn Talk 2: Biba and the Jetsons of Kilrymont
DESCRIPTION:Biba and the Jetsons of Kilrymont\n17 September\, 2.30pm at the St Andrews Bowling Club. Hosted by Ian Davidson. \nThis talk will take a look at the design of this School and the influences of the 1950s and 60s on its architect. It will reveal an amazing amalgam of Scandinavian\, Japanese\, Modernist and American elements. The space race can be discerned in its shapes and materials\, as can the colours of the swinging 60’s.

SUMMARY:Annual Lecture - What Makes St Andrews Special
DESCRIPTION:Annual Lecture – What Makes St Andrews Special\nThis year\, Nigel Edward Morecroft will talk about his book St Andrews: Camelot of Golf. Partly a social history\, he will discuss the role of artisans\, women and students in shaping modern St Andrews and will explain that for a small town\, St Andrews possessed unusually varied and talented people across all strata of society who not only established St Andrews as the ‘Home of Golf’ but also took golf to the rest of the world. While he will refer to golf and golfers\, the town of St Andrews rather than sport will be the main theme of the presentation. \n \n \nAcademics refer to Genius Loci\, or the essence of a place\, so one particular aspect he will explore\, and would like to discuss with the audience\, is ‘What makes St Andrews Special?’ and why his question produces an array of different answers. He hopes to gain some new insights from devotees of the Preservation Trust! \n \n \nThe talk will be accompanied by attractive illustrations including paintings\, photographs and railway posters which will highlight how these striking images\, along with the written word in the form of poems and books\, all helped to establish perceptions about St Andrews during the period from 1850 to 1950. \n					\n									Click here for Non-Member Tickets (£8)\n					\n					\n									Click here for Member Tickets (£6)\n					 \nThe event is taking place at St Andrews Bowling Club\, 1 Pipeland Road\, St Andrews KY16 8JN. \nIt will be held at 7pm on the 27th of November.

SUMMARY:Winter Talk 1: David Annand - Sculpting Old Tom Morris
DESCRIPTION:Winter Talk 1: David Annand – Sculpting Old Tom Morris\n																														 \nIt’s our privilege to welcome on Tuesday 28 January 2025\, Fife’s own Duncan Annand\, Public Artist and Sculptor\, and Member of the Royal Society of Sculptors\, to speak about the making of his bronze statue of “Old Tom Morris”\, who needs no introduction. This new work stands in Bow Butts on Golf Place\, St Andrews\, and was unveiled in October 2024. He will bring an artist’s viewpoint to history and speak about how his quietly engaging work contributes to a sense of place. With his humble view of his role in the creation of his work\, he sees himself as “standing on the shoulders of giants”.  He will reveal the fascinating journey of making a bronze sculpture\, and how he brings “vitality\, balance\, gravity and irony” to his figurative work. He will show some of the other work he has been commissioned to make and share what he has learned about his subjects in the process. Part tribute to the man who was Old Tom Morris\, as well as the other great characters of Scottish History that he has had the honour to portray\, his talk will be sprinkled with some humorous anecdotes\, speculation on their lives\, and possibly even opinions about golf. \nLocation: St Andrews Bowling Club\, 1 Pipeland Road\, St Andrews KY16 8JN \nDate: Tuesday 28th January 2025 \nTime: 2:30pm \n					\n									Member Tickets £3\n					\n					\n									Non-Member Tickets £5

This talk will set the scene by looking at the small settlement known as Seamills which was the forerunner of the village we know today. It then examines the massive changes which took place during the 19th century\, with much development resulting first of all from the village’s ferry link to Dundee\, and later in the 19th century\, from of course the rail link. \n  \nThe St Andrews Preservation Trust is delighted to welcome you to our second Autumn Talk\, to hear Mairi Shiels speak on “Newport-on-Tay: its early development and links with Dundee”.
