Issue 36: May 2002

Samantha Morton had nothing to say in Sweet and Lowdown,
the Woody Allen film for which she was nominated for an Oscar:
she played a mute. And her character in Morvern Callar, Lynn
Ramsay's film of Alan Warner's unforgettable Highland novel,
is on the quiet side, too. But there are hidden depths to Morvern
- and the same could be said of both Warner and Ramsay.
Decorum is a word with a lovely old-fashioned ring to it. But the
concept of right ways to behave is very much alive, as a new
book on how to be fabulous shows. We took the opportunity
to set up a fun photo shoot on what being fabulous means.
Glasgow is great for shopping - but how did it get to be that
way? High-profile events such as the Intervention fashion
show help, undoubtedly. The impact of Star Wars has been
immense - and that's not just down to the characters and the
stories but the costumes, too. We speak to Glasgow-trained
Iain McCaig, the man who created Darth Maul. What do those
Euro MPs do all day? Iain Gale, who returned exhausted from
three days with Struan Stevenson in Brussels, tells all. Orkney
jewellers are on a high just now, so it was the perfect time for us
to capture them on camera. Michael Forbes is a surrealist painter
with great talent - but sometimes he wishes his behaviour was a
bit more bizarre, too. Also in this issue: young composer Lorne
Balfe, teenage fashion at its best, the people who matters in the
Scottish property market, deliciously wild tastes in the kitchen,
the little known delights of Bandol wine, a lunch with cashmere
designer Belinda Robertson, a visit to stunning Mount Stuart on
Bute, an intriguing Alpine nursery in Strathspey and the surprising
pleasures of Shanghai.

Issue 37: June 2002 Third anniversary issue

It's the biggest and best - it's Caledonia's third anniversary issue!
It's been a brilliant three years and we've got lots more still to come.
In this issue we have an amazing feature on how to be successful,
with advice from scores of top Scots. Plus, four Scottish faces which
seem to be everywhere at the moment; find out what is so special
about Kirsty Hume, Stella Tennant, Honor Fraser and Shirley
Manson. If DIY is giving you a headache then read about three
examples of medieval castle renovations. These massive undertakings
will make your wallpapering problems seem like child's play. Sport
needs its stars, but we celebrate the other essential aspect - the fans,
in our powerful photo gallery taken by Dominic Ibbotson. The cake
and candy stall is under threat, as Morag McKinnon looks at the
new generation of business-like charities. Plus all the regular sections
which make Caledonia such a varied and satisfying read every month.
Our Shortlist pages now have a new 'Events' section, which add to
our usual guide to the best of the arts, entertainment and more.
Spotlight features a talented and popular Glasgow painter called
Michael Nagle who has been picked out for stardom in New York.
In Driving, our motoring writer, former world rally champion Louise
Aitken-Walker, is testing the impressively updated Seat Ibiza.
Strawberries, salmon, asparagus - you can't beat the best Scottish
ingredients at the best possible time, suggests Maxine Clark. The
blackly comic novelist Alan Warner is the man on the spot on our
Twenty Questions page. And if you've been out and about lately,
you might be on our popular social pages, The Neb. If not, see
who else is there.
