    CENTRAL PARK – WADDELL FOUNTAIN John Manuel, 1914 Waddell Fountain, the classic focal point of Central Park in downtown Winnipeg, is a legacy of one citizen's desire to be remembered and of the ornamental nature of the city's early greenspaces. As rapid growth transformed Winnipeg from a village to an urban centre, the need to reserve open spaces for aesthetic and recreational purposes became evident. In early 1893, City aldermen established a public parks board to create "ornamental squares or breathing spaces" (parks) and landscaped boulevards. Four park sites were acquired within a year, including a l.4 hectare block of land in the northern tip of the Hudson's Bay Company Reserve purchased from the company for $20,000 in cash and debentures. The property, bounded by Cumberland and Qu'Appelle avenues and Edmonton and Carlton streets, was undesirable for development due to poor drainage. Thousands of loads of soil © City of Winnipeg 1988 and manure were brought in to correct the problem and form a base for Central Park's lush lawns. This passive 'ornamental square' soon had walkways and gardens, followed in 1905 by a bandstand and two tennis courts. It also attracted nearby residential development. The Central Park/North Ellice area became a fashionable neighbourhood for professional and business families. The fountain was installed in 1914 to commemorate Emily Margaret Waddell who had come to Winnipeg in the early 1880s with her husband Thomas, a local temperance leader. It also symbolized the Scottish heritage of many early city residents as its design was based on a magnificent, 55-metre Gothic Revival monument to Sir Walter Scott, one of Scotland's best known romantic poets.

  • Rossyln Scenic Lore
    ROSSLYN'S SCENIC LORE THE NORTH ESK RIVER OF ROMANCE "It is telling a tale that has been repeated a thousand times, to say, that a morning of leisure can scarcely be anywhere more delight- fully spent than hi the woods of Rosslyn, and on the banks of the Esk. Rosslyn and its adjacent scenery have associations, dear to the antiquary and historian, which may fairly entitle it to precedence over every other Scottish scene of the same kind." SIR WALTER SCOTT (" Provincial Antiquities of Scotland.") OF ROMANCE abound in Scotland, and RIVERSthe North Esk is one of them. From its source high up among the Pentland Heights near the Boarstane and the boundary line between Midlothian and Tweeddale, it is early gathered into a reservoir, whose engineer was Thomas Stevenson, father of Robert Louis Stevenson, constructed in 1850 to supply water and power used in the paper mills on the river's banks. Passing through Carlops, once a village of weavers, it flows on through the wooded gorge of Habbie's Howe and the woods surrounding Penicuik House, on to " Rosslyn's rocky glen," and Hawthornden, Melville Castle and Dalkeith Palace, entering the Firth of Forth at Musselburgh. Alas that the clear sparkling waters of the moorland stream should be so spoiled by the industries of the Wordsworth's valley." Dorothy Diary entry is still true the water of the stream is dingy and muddy." Modern legislation on river pollution is sadly lacking. 75 " I never passed through a more delicious dell than the Glen of wrote and of the Rosslyn," " Dorothy; river it has been written No stream in Scotland can boast such a varied succession of the most interesting objects, as well as the most romantic and beautiful scenery." It is associated with some of the most famous men in Scottish literature who have lived on its banks, and has inspired the muse of some of Scotland's best poets.

  • Celebrating Scottish Heroes
    Celebrating Scottish Heroes by Clarisse Godard Desmarest The 19th century in Scotland saw the emergence of an architectural trend of building monuments dedicated to the celebration of cultural heroes. In his latest book, Johnny Rodger examines the political significance of the hero building in the relationships between the people, the nation and the state. Reviewed: Johnny Rodger, The Hero Building: An Architecture of Scottish National Identity, Farnham, Ashgate Publishing Limited, 2015. A book on the nineteenth-century Scottish monumental tradition is timely given the current political situation and public debate on the place of Scotland within the UK after Brexit. In the concluding paragraph to his book The Hero Building: An Architecture of Scottish National Identity, Johnny Rodger asks whether lessons may be learnt from the 19th-century monuments built to heroes and whether they would convincingly apply to present-day Scotland. He answers that the range of political and civil discussions proper to a 19th century-context bear little comparison with contemporary events and cannot help anticipate the future. Rodger argues that “the study of this history can, however, help prevent our being confined to our own particular intellectual province of time, and open up a wider panorama of the infinite possibilities in the historical relations between the nation, the state, the land, identity, and literary and material culture” (p. 215). Although this is an architectural history book, the monuments are analysed in relation to issues of national identity, which means that the discussion crosses over into other disciplines including political history. The “hero building”: promoting the Scottish national identity The author sets out to define and study the phenomenon of the “hero building” as an architecture of Scottish national identity.

It is not a history of the abbey and does not attempt to provide a narrative of its institutional development, its place in Scottish history, or of the men who led and directed its operations from the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. There is a rich historical narrative embedded in the surviving record but the short period of research upon which this document reports did not permit the writing of a full historical account. While the physical structure that is the abbey lies at the heart of the following account, it does not offer an architectural analysis of the surviving remains but it does interpret the remains where the documentary record permits parts of the fabric or elements of the complex to be identified. This focus on the abbey precinct has produced some significant evidence for the daily life of the community over the four centuries of its corporate existence, with detail recovered for ritual and burial in the abbey church, routines in the cloister, through to the process of supplying the convent with its food, drink and clothing.

He has also contributed articles to Scottish Local History, Scottish Brewing Archive and other journals. He lives near Drongan with his long-suffering partner, Joy. In 1995 he was one half of the Scottish Handicap Doubles Croquet Champions. Cover design by David McClure. 1SBN 0 9527445 9 7 THE STREET NAMES OF AYR 1 INTRODUCTION Names have an important role in our lives: names of people, names of places, and names of things. In an enclosed, small community, these names remain informal, but as the community grows, and as travel and movement become commoner, then more formalised names are required, names which will prevent confusion. Formal and informal names can exist alongside one another. During the course of preparing this book, I agreed to meet some friends on the road between ‘Nick’s place’ and ‘the quarry’: that we met successfully was due to the fact that we all recognised and understood these informal place names. However, to a different cohort of people, ‘Nick’s place’ is known as ‘the doctor’s house’, while had we been arranging this rendezvous with people unfamiliar with the area, we would have had to fall back upon more formal place names, names with a wider currency, names with ‘public’ approval, whether conferred by the local authority, the Post Office or the Ordnance Survey.
