Disability History Month on the NCN: Dylan Esposito

Between 16 November and 16 December 2022, a series of art installations and events celebrating Disability History Month will be hosted along traffic-free National Cycle Network routes in Scotland.
Dylan's 'Hugh Blair of Borgue' project focuses on the Scottish laird Hugh Blair, who is said to be the first documented autistic person in Scotland.  Accounts of Hugh Blair are written from the medical model of disability by non-autistic psychologists and historians.
This project aims to reframe Blair in a positive light as an autistic person of Scottish historical significance. The permanent sculpture will serve as a visual and tactile point of interest, as well as serving as a bench and resting place. 
You'll be able to find it along National Cycle Network 7 near the new hospital in Dumfries.
