Abstract (en)

Drawing on some formerly privately-held papers and the papers of James Pittendrigh MacGillivray, re-examines the row over the nomination of Sir Robert Lorimer to membership of the Royal Scottish Academy. Acrimony centred around the heroic bronze group for the war memorial at Glenelg in which Lorimer played the lead role, with Louis Reid Deuchars preparing the model for Peace and Victory coming to the aid of Stricken Humanity. MacGillivray felt that a sculptor should have received the commission instead. Whether old jealousies against Deuchars's modelling talent played a part, or whether the venom was directed solely at Lorimer, MacGillivray took the opportunity to bring the matter to the attention of both professions via the Royal Scottish Academy.
