Overview

Discover the glamour and innovation of 1930s Scotland through its striking Art Deco architecture, design and culture.

We shall embark upon on a tour of Scotland in the 1930s, exploring all things Deco; we’ll admire the best Moderne buildings which embraced the style, lounge at the lido, take some streamlined transport here & there; and wonder at the cinema. We’ll conclude our long look at this stylish decade; with a visit to The Empire Exhibition of 1938, perhaps the epitome of the era?
