EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness the multi-talented Archie MacPherson, renowned sports commentator and rector of Edinburgh University, stepping out of his comfort zone to explore a different kind of passion. The year is 1987, and MacPherson finds himself in front of a treasured artifact - a 1594 sackbut trombone believed to be the oldest brass instrument in Britain. With an air of determination mixed with curiosity, MacPherson attempts to coax melodies from this ancient instrument. However, his efforts seem to fall short as he grapples with its intricacies. Standing beside him are two young students named Kirsta Johnstone and Lisa Kendall. Their expressions reveal a mixture of amusement and disbelief at witnessing their esteemed rector struggling with the trombone's complexities. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation as these three individuals come together in this unique moment bridging past and present. The photograph captures not only MacPherson's valiant attempt but also serves as a testament to the university's commitment to preserving historic instruments for future generations. Douglas McAskill skillfully immortalizes this scene through his lens, transporting us back to the vibrant energy of the 1980s. As we observe this snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but wonder about the sounds that echoed through those halls – whether they were harmonious or simply noise – it was undoubtedly an experience etched into memory for all involved.
