Pringle of Scotland has launched their Spring/Summer 2010 campaign with this short film featuring Tilda Swinton. Directed by Ryan McGinley, "[He] photographed and filmed Swinton in iconic Scottish locations for the campaign, which demonstrates the class and edge of both photographer and actress, perfectly in synch with the brand’s latest direction. This collaboration is the first in a series of creative projects planned for the brand with the aim of promoting Scotland’s renewed cultural surge."

She Dreamed a Dream

Chances are on the way to work this morning you heard something about Susan Boyle, a volunteer church worker from Blackburn, Scotland. The 47-year-old sweetheart was a contestant on Britain's Got Talent, a reality talent show in the UK.

Ms. Boyle is perfect lesson as to why you should never judge a book by its cover. She surpassed the audience's snickering to blow away the crowd:



Does anyone else feel like crying?!!
Amazing, amazing.
I hope Andrew Lloyd Webber is listening and casts her in her own show!

Artist: Jim Lambie

Jim Lambie is a contemporary visual artist from Glasgow, Scotland. He installs colourful patterns on floors using strips of vinyl. The concentric rectangles which mimic the architecture of the room result in a really astounding visual. Another fun fact that I just learned He once played in the band The Boy Hairdressers, which went on to become Teenage Fanclub. Fun Fact!
