The Nation//Live – Civil War will examine the impact of the Covenanting era – a period of religious conflict in the late-seventeenth century which has left a poignant physical heritage of monuments, graves and the sites of conventicles (or open-air services), scattered across the landscape of southwest Scotland. Young people from the region will investigate how this era shaped contemporary Scotland, and consider how it might inform their understanding of conflicts around the world today. This theme will refer to Covenanting scenes depicted in nineteenth-century paintings and prints by Sir George Harvey, held in the national art collection.
