The ACCORD team worked with the How Old Are Yew group based in Castlemilk, south Glasgow on the 1st and 3rd of October 2014. Together we 3D recorded two sculptures using the technique of photogrammetry; the 19th Century 'Falstaff' sculpture in Calderglen Country Park, East Kilbride, and the 'King of the Castle' sculpture by contemporary artist Kenny Hunter, erected in Castlemilk as part of 'the Gateways Project' in 1999.
The individuals who took part in this ACCORD project are all members of the 'How Old Are Yew' history group, which meets formally once a month. This active group is run by the community woodland officer Richard Bolton. They take part in local walks, museum visits, public heritage events and participate in small excavations. Two of the members were originally members of the now officially defunct Castlemilk Local History Group (which was established in 1989), but which still has a very visible and active online Facebook presence (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Castlemilk-History). The ACCORD project at Castlemilk grew out of discussions with Mark Roberts (Community engagement officer employed by Glasgow Life) who has worked with the Castlemilk community and was aware of the ACCORD project.
For photogrammetry, data collection consisted of digital images captured with an 18-55mm Nikkor lens on a Nikon D5300 DSLR camera and other various camera models (owned by members of the group). Before any images were taken, the camera and lens settings were set to automatic with no flash and images captured at JPG fine quality (metadata for each image is provided in the accompanying excel spreadsheet). A total of 445 digital images were captured in order to create a photogrammetric model of the 19th Century Falstaff sculpture, and 469 of the contemporary artwork 'King of the Castle' by artist Kenny Hunter.
