SUMMARY:Exploring the papers of the Balfour of Whittingehame family\, Earls of Balfour
DESCRIPTION:The Society is pleased to present this talk by National Records of Scotland (NRS) Archivists Jocelyn Grant and Tessa Spencer\, 2.30 PM on Saturday 17th February\, 2024 at the Maitlandfield House Hotel\, Haddington.\nThis talk is most appropriate in our Centenary year as Lord Balfour was the first Honorary President of the Society. \nIn 2022\, National Records of Scotland (NRS) in Edinburgh bought the papers of the Balfour of Whittingehame family\, Earls of Balfour\, on behalf of the nation. Before its purchase\, the collection had been on loan to NRS from the family since the 1960s. It is a remarkable archive which offers insights into the life of an influential Scottish family over a long period of history. \nThis talk will provide an overview of the contents of the Balfour collection\, explore links to East Lothian and provide guidance on how you can access the papers in the Historical Search Room at General Register House in Edinburgh. \nNon members welcome – a small cash donation appreciated

SUMMARY:Pottery Production in Prestonpans and Portobello
DESCRIPTION:The Society is pleased to present this talk by Graeme Cruickshank\, 2.30 PM on Saturday 16th March\, 2024 at the Maitlandfield House Hotel\, Haddington.\n\n“Prestonpans was the acknowledged centre of the Scottish pottery industry in the 18th century led by the Cadells\, Gordons and Watsons. This tradition was carried through until the 1930’s “\n\nTalk Summary\n\nThroughout almost two centuries when pottery production in Scotland was a major industry\, the factories of the Lothian coastal strip played a leading role in its development. A number of townships east of Edinburgh supported thriving potteries\, the leading ones being at or close to Prestonpans and Portobello. After introducing the wider Scottish context\, particularly around the Forth region\, our speaker will give an extensive illustrated appraisal of the range of wares made at the two leading centres of production.\n\nThe fine designs and colourful decoration presented by such pieces make them a sight to behold !\n\nGraeme Cruickshank MA\, AMA\, FMA\, FSA Scot\n\nOur speaker is a prolific researcher\, writer\, lecturer and broadcaster on a large variety of topics from the sculptural art of the Picts to the history of old Edinburgh. In relation to the latter he was Curator of Local History with Edinburgh City Museums for 15 years. However he has a particular interest in the history of Scottish pottery and has published a number of books on this subject.\n\nNon-members welcome – a small cash donation appreciated
