Broughton Gallery is a treasure trove of contemporary art and crafts in Boughton Place, a Sir Basil Spence tower house in a magical setting in the Scottish Borders. The house, just north of the village of Broughton, was designed by the young Basil Spence for Professor and Mrs Elliott in the style of a seventeenth century Scottish tower house and was completed in 1938.

Entrance to the gallery Main exhibition space Library

That Broughton Place should house an art gallery reflects Basil Spence's own interest in art and craft. He believed in art's ability to enhance the quality of life, that art humanised buildings, and he collaborated with many artists throughout his career. For Broughton Place itself, one of his earliest commissions, he used the Scottish architectural sculptor Hew Lorimer to add decorative reliefs to the building. The aim of Broughton Gallery is pure and simple: to provide a showcase for exceptional and competitively-priced contemporary arts and crafts. Wherever possible, work is sourced from Scotland. The watchword is "quality". The gallery's philosophy is not new. It draws a line straight back to William Morris and the Arts and Crafts Movement in seeking to preserve arts and crafts and to counteract the effects of mass production on both maker and consumer.

The YIDDISH SONG PROJECT

featuring the wonderful Stephanie Brickman on vocals, Phil Alexander on piano & accordion and
Jo Nicholson (Scottish Chamber orchestra) on clarinet. Traditional and original Yiddish music.

The Yiddish Song Project formed in 2006 in Edinburgh with the aim of performing Yiddish song and taking it to new audiences and also creating new work in Yiddish. In the short time we’ve been together we’ve done just that. Our audiences are a wonderful mixture of Jewish community and world music fans aged between 14 and 92! We do a little bit of everything from folk~klezmer, to musical theatre, tango, Yiddish swing and jazz, and throw some original composition into the mix.
