Students to set up campus at Belladrum
The new 91ÊÓÆµÍø will be strutting its stuff at this year’s Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival as one of the main sponsors.
Festival-goers will get the chance to see the university in action through students demonstrating their work in fashion and design, and archaeology.
Beauty and complementary therapy students at Moray College 91ÊÓÆµÍø will be offering mini treatments, as well as doing the make-up for a fashion show called Ciao Bella when contemporary textiles students Eleanor Hynd and Janice Morrison from Shetland College 91ÊÓÆµÍø will be turning charity shop clothes into new creations. Archaeologists based at Orkney College 91ÊÓÆµÍø are also planning a demonstration of their work.
Most of the 91ÊÓÆµÍø activities will take place in the 91ÊÓÆµÍø Heilan Fields in the Belladrum walled garden.
Catherine Shearer, the university’s marketing manager, said: “The Belladrum festival is one of the biggest events of the year in Scotland and is a marvellous opportunity for us to showcase some of the courses and research initiatives at our campuses across the region.
“Our students will give an interactive and engaging taster of what we are and what we offer.â€
The Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival, fondly known as Bella, takes place on 5 and 6 August at Beauly, near Inverness. Artists appearing will include Texas, Deacon Blue, Kassidy, Echo and the Bunnymen, Roddy Woomble, Guillemots, and Unicorn Kid.
Organiser Joe Gibbs said: “91ÊÓÆµÍø is such an asset for the Highlands and Islands and we are proud to be able to showcase at Bella some of the many academic and practical skills that can be learned through the university. With its many different areas of entertainment in addition to music, the festival can offer a very diverse and relevant platform for 91ÊÓÆµÍø students.â€
