The Parishes of St Peter & St Columba… the Solemnity of Christ, King of the Universe 22Nd November 2020 Sunday Mass The Parishes of St Peter & St Columba… www.stpetersrcchurchedinburgh.org.uk www.stcolumbasrcedinburgh.org.uk Parish Priest: Fr Kevin Douglas St Peter’s, 77 Falcon Avenue EH10 4AN (0131 447 2502): email: [email protected] St Columba’s 9 Upper Gray Street EH9 1SN Deacon - Rev John E Smith [email protected] Today’s Readings Parish Secretaries: St Peter’s: Mary Wastle [email protected] (0131 447 3442): Ezekial 34:11-12, 15-17, St Columba’s: Sr Karin: [email protected] Psalm 22:1-3, 5-6 1 Corinthians 15:20-26, 28 The Solemnity of Christ, King of the Universe Matthew 25:31-46 22nd November 2020 Today's solemnity of Christ the King ends the Church's liturgical year on a high point. Perhaps, after the year we have had, we need, more than ever, its full title: ‘Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe’. So that God 'may be all in all' (Second Reading), Christ is, indeed, king over the whole universe. Though we may have felt – and perhaps still feel – 'scattered, during the mist and darkness' of 2020, God keeps the flock always in view (First Reading) and will show us where to rest. We are not abandoned. Rather, the care of the one, true, kingly shepherd means we really shall want for nothing (Psalm). The call of this Shepherd King is heard in the Gospel, inviting us to a share, both in his service of others, especially to the very least, and in his very life. This week, let’s try to be open to that call and respond with joyful and generous hearts.

  • Tayside Local Biodiversity Action Plan 2Nd Edition 2016-2026
    Tayside Local Biodiversity Action Plan 2nd Edition 2016­2026 Incorporating the local authority areas of Angus and Perth & Kinross Every Action Counts! Scottish Wildcat © Scottish Wildcat Action 2 Chairman’s Message Anyone glancing at this latest Biodiversity Action Plan for Tayside could be forgiven for feeling a little daunted at the scale of the tasks identified in the Actions. Indeed, the scale of what we need to do over the years ahead is large if we are to pass on to our future generations a land that is as rich and varied in all its forms of life as the one that we have inherited. The hope that we can rise to this challenge comes from the sheer goodwill of so many people and organisations willing to give their time and effort to look after our wildlife, whether it be found in the remoter hills or closer to home in our towns and villages. Great examples of what can be achieved when we work together with a little direction and thought applied can be found throughout the following pages. This Action Plan arrives at a time of great uncertainty, particularly in rural areas which have been so dependent on public funding for so much of our land use. Following the Brexit vote, we have to take the view that this must be an opportunity to improve on our delivery of so many of the tasks identified in this Plan and others which, if achieved, will improve the life of all of us along with all the many forms of life that we share this country with.

  • The Cairngorm Club Journal 059, 1922
    MORE SUMMER DAYS ON THE MOUNTAINS.—II. BY WILLIAM BARCLAY, L.D.S. III.—BEINN CREACHAN, BEINN ACHALLADER, BEINN A CHUIRN, BEN VANNOCH. BY nine o'clock next morning (21st June, 1921) we were at the east end of Loch Lyon ; and, standing among the straggling pine-trees at Invermearn, this upper Glen Lyon greatly fascinated us, the loneliness, the absolute stillness, the air of solitude and remoteness being very refreshing. On all sides rose steeply sloping hillsides, grass-covered to their summits, and, though we say it perhaps somewhat selfishly, we were glad that the road ended here and that there was no thoroughfare to the west, glad that there are still some spots left undisturbed to the pedestrian. On the way up the glen we were particularly struck with the fine profile of An Grianan (2,500 feet) above Cashlie (this old farmhouse is now being converted into a shooting lodge) on the one hand, and Meall Ghaordie (3,407 feet) and Creag Laoghain (2,663 feet) on the other, while from Invermearn Beinn Heasgarnich (3,530 feet) rose directly opposite in two long ridges, enclosing in their upper fold the fine north- facing corrie. Our thoughts, however, are not of Heasgarnich to-day, though sixteen years have elapsed since we wandered about its broad summit, but of some Theview-poin Cairngormt from which we can look out oveClubr the wild and dreary moor of Rannoch to the towering mountains of the north and west. At the head of Glen Mearn and only a couple of miles away stands Beinn Creachan (3,540 feet) (pro- nounced Ben a Chrachan) visible from base to summit, one small patch of snow still lingering among the rocks More Summer Days on the Mountains.

The SSSI contains four high peaks, with Ben Lui, at 1,130 m, the best known mountain within this western outlier of the Breadalbane Hills. Together with Ben Oss (1,028 m), Beinn Dubhchraig (978 m), Beinn a’ Chleibh (917 m) and Meall nan Tighearn (739 m) the area is renowned for its exceptionally rich and varied upland flora. The range of altitude and geology present at the site supports a diversity of habitats including important late snowbed communities on peaks and high corries, ledge and cliff vegetation, heath, montane willow scrub, grasslands, soligenous mires and on, the southern flanks of Meall nan Tighearn, an extensive blanket bog. The Dalradian rocks underpinning the biodiversity of the site are of mineralogical importance for three reasons. Firstly, it is one of the few sites in within the Dalradian where proximal-style exhalative sulphide mineralisation can be readily demonstrated. Secondly, it is the only site where a feeder zone for stratabound mineralisation has been positively identified.

  • Circular Homesteads in North West Perthshire
    Circular Homesteads in North West Perthshire D.B. Taylor Abertay Historical Society Publication No.29 Dundee 1990 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Many of those who began the groundwork of this investigation were or became members of the Abertay Historical Society, the Perthshire Society for Natural Science, the then Breadalbane Archaeological Society or the Crieff Society. They are too many to be mentioned individually but their contribution was invaluable and is gladly acknowledged. There are others whose names are unavoidably unknown to the author; they were mainly those who took photographs and drew plans at Queen's View. Apologies and sincere thanks are extended to them. Those who contributed from their specialist knowledge have been mentioned in the text and are also sincerely thanked. Grants towards expenses were received from the Society of Antiquaries, Scotland, for Litigan and from the Forestry Commission for Queen's View. These are gratefully acknowledged. Appreciation is also due to the Forestry Commission, especially the staff of the former Tummel District, for their co-operation and active assistance at Queen's View and for making it possible to visit sites in a number of other plantations. Miss Jean Comrie was present throughout operations at Queen's View except for the last year and, since she worked closely with Dr. Stewart, her clarification of doubtful points in the diary of activities and discoveries was invaluable and greatly appreciated. Similarly, Miss Lisbeth Thorns, Dundee Museum, who drew the major plan, offered crucial explanation on detail when the report was being compiled and thanks are also extended to her. Dr. John Bannerman provided salutary guidance on language questions raised in the last section of the report.
