Had it not been for the assistance and co-operation of Mr. Antony S. Chambers, chairman of W. & R. Chambers Ltd, this study would never have become a reality. Not only did he initially give an unknown American permission to study the firm's archives, but he has subsequently provided whatever I needed to facilitate my research. Gracious and generous, he is a worthy descendent of the first Robert Chambers. All associated with the Chambers firm— directors and warehousemen alike— played an important part in my research, from answering technical queries to helping unearth records almost forgotten. Equally helpful in their own way were the librarians of the University of Edinburgh Library and the National Library of Scotland. Finally, the people of Edinburgh made a signif­ icant, albeit indirect, contribution. From them I learned something of what it means to a Scot to be a Scot. In this country I owe my greatest debt to my adviser, Professor Richard D.

  • Happy Plant Publication
    FREE Gift and Garden Centre welcome to Once upon a time (1984 to be precise) in the Buchan village of Mintlaw, 1 mile from Aden Country Park and less than 1/2 hours drive from Aberdeen, a seed was planted named The Happy Plant Garden Centre. Over the years it has grown to become a flourishing business renowned for its quality products and service. Life began as a little wooden shed in a ‘boggy howe,’ but 35 years on it is one of the largest gift and garden centres in the north east of Scotland and has achieved a four-star rating from the Scottish Tourist Board. The site now covers approximately four acres, including a large car park and has over 60 friendly and helpful employees on the payroll, many of them long-term members of staff who have ‘grown up’ with the business. To accommodate the large number of customers, we have ample parking for cars and coaches, as well as disabled parking spaces close to the gift and garden centre entrance. The business has been set up to offer the garden enthusiast everything they could possibly desire from plants to compost, fertilisers to garden furniture, garden lighting to outdoor ornaments. If you are not sure what to do with your garden and you are after inspiration, then visit Happy Plant Garden Centre. You will find us welcoming, friendly and only too willing to help. A long-awaited coffee shop was added in 2005 and extended to meet demand a few years later. The range of goods for sale has also changed over the years with hundreds of suppliers from plants to pet supplies, clothes to food as well as an amazing selection of gifts and homeware.

  • Communications Market Report: Scotland
    ul Communications Market Report: Scotland Research Document Publication date: 19 August 2010 Introduction This is Ofcom’s fifth annual review of communications markets in Scotland. The report offers a detailed overview of communications services across the nation. It provides a comparison of their take-up and use within different parts of Scotland, and compares this with other UK nations. Nearly eight in ten people (79%) claimed to have a mobile handset in Q1 2010, ten percentage points lower than the UK-wide average. A 2G mobile signal covers 87% of people in Scotland relative to the UK figure of 97%. Higher-speed 3G mobile, which is available to 87% of the UK population, covers 66% of the Scottish population. With mobile signals focusing on densely populated regions of Scotland, and influenced by topography, geographic coverage tends to be lower in Scotland (64% for 2G and 41% for 3G) than elsewhere in the UK (91% 2G and 76% 3G). Sixty-one per cent claim to have broadband in Scotland, still below the UK average (71%), with the gap widening by two percentage points over the last twelve months. Cable broadband is available to 37% of the population (versus 48% of the UK as a whole), while most fixed exchanges in Scotland now support broadband. But the actual speeds experienced by consumers depend on a variety of factors. These include the length of the line from the exchange to a customer’s premises, and the number of people connected to a single exchange who are logged on to the internet concurrently. As competition between communications providers intensifies, a growing proportion of homes are taking services in bundles of two or more.

  • THE MANSE Lonmay, Fraserburgh, Aberdeenshire, AB43 8UJ Lonmay Parish Dates Back to the 14Th Century and Was Included in the Lands Owned by the Powerful Earls of Errol
    THE MANSE Lonmay, Fraserburgh, Aberdeenshire, AB43 8UJ Lonmay parish dates back to the 14th century and was included in the lands owned by the powerful Earls of Errol. THE LOCATION Lonmay Manse, a charming granite stone and slate property, with its extensive walled garden, original U-shaped steading and woodland area dates back to 1820. Situated in idyllic countryside the Manse is forty-five minutes from Aberdeen Airport. Close by is Crimond village where amenities include a state of the art medical centre with community hub and primary school and also the 19th century fishing village of St Combs with its Community Hall, two small shops and a post office. Here you will find beach walks with miles of dunes and golden sands and seals basking on the rocks. The town of Fraserburgh, approximately six miles north, is one of the largest fishing ports in Europe. The local area has a wealth of undiscovered beauty and offers exceptional facilities for surfing, birdwatching, walking and golfing. Nearby, the RSPB Loch of Strathbeg is Britain’s largest dune loch and a vital wintering and staging post for up to a fifth of the world’s pink-footed geese. It is also home to a wide variety of wetland wildlife such as breeding terns and gulls, migrating waders and wintering wildfowl. The coastline varies between long sandy beaches and dramatic, steep, craggy cliffs with wonderful sky scapes. LONMAY MANSE 3 Lonmay Manse is a six-bedroom traditional stone and slate property situated in a private, tranquil countryside location. The current owner during her tenure has carried out a meticulous bare brick renovation – modernizing and upgrading throughout whilst retaining the original ceiling cornices, pitch pine panel doors and high skirting boards.
