The Cold War was a 40-year nuclear stand-off between the USA and the Soviet Union after the Second World War. Scotland’s unique landscape provided a useful base for Allied military preparations and research. The impact of the war still lingers in Scottish politics, culture and memory. Scots played an active role in the global conflict as soldiers within intelligence services and as part of voluntary civil defences. The exhibition will draw on Scotland’s rich history of Cold War-era protest and activism. Cold War Scotland is an output of Materialising the Cold War, a collaborative research project between National Museums Scotland and the University of Stirling. The project explores how the Cold War heritage is represented and how museums can adapt to tell this story in future. Materialising the Cold War is funded by a major grant from the Arts and Humanities Research Council.

It&#39;s really not one of the most romantic sunsets. I&#39;ve been here, cold shock but beautiful shock! Multiple celebrity business cards will not be repeated one by one. But my only deepest experience is the lyric, &quot;The castle is keeping secrets for love, and I am keeping memories for you&quot; I didn&#39;t think the song was romantic until I climbed to the top of Carlton ⛰️ It was really speechless and beautiful! ! I really like this light blue gentle dusk ～～ Thanks for a little embers near sunset that day, let me see the light blue light orange sky boundary in the distance, really the ultimate romance ～～ constantly touching me ✨💕🌹 recommend this ultimate romantic, must go? [View] Medieval dusk 🌆, the only ❤️ in the world
