Master of Arts (History), August 2011, 120 pp., bibliography, 138 titles. Following the failed Jacobite Rebellion of 1745-46 many Highlanders fought for the British Army in the Seven Years War and American Revolutionary War. Although these soldiers were primarily motivated by economic considerations, their experiences were romanticized after Waterloo and helped to create a new, unified Scottish martial identity. This militaristic narrative, reinforced throughout the nineteenth century, explains why Scots fought and died in disproportionately large numbers during the First World War.

    French Travellers to Scotland, 1780-1830

    French Travellers to Scotland, 1780-1830: An Analysis of Some Travel Journals. Elizabeth Anne McFarlane Submitted according to regulations of University of Stirling January 2015 Abstract. This study examines the value of travellers’ written records of their trips with specific reference to the journals of five French travellers who visited Scotland between 1780 and 1830. The thesis argues that they contain material which demonstrates the merit of journals as historical documents. The themes chosen for scrutiny, life in the rural areas, agriculture, industry, transport and towns, are examined and assessed across the journals and against the social, economic and literary scene in France and Scotland. Through the evidence presented in the journals, the thesis explores aspects of the tourist experience of the Enlightenment and post - Enlightenment periods. The viewpoint of knowledgeable French Anglophiles and their receptiveness to Scottish influences, grants a perspective of the position of France in the economic, social and power structure of Europe and the New World vis-à-vis Scotland. The thesis adopts a narrow, focussed analysis of the journals which is compared and contrasted to a broad brush approach adopted in other studies. ii Dedication. For Angus, Mhairi and Brent, who are all scientists. iii Acknowledgements. I would like to thank my husband, Angus, and my daughter, Mhairi, for all the support over the many years it has taken to complete this thesis. I would like to mention in particular the help Angus gave me in the layout of the maps and the table.

Hans UIZ A Genevan's Journey to the Hebrides in 1807: An Anti-Johnsonian Venture The book Voyage en Ecosse et aux Iles Hebrides by Louis-Albert Necker de Saussure of Geneva is the basis for my report.! While he was studying in Edinburgh he began his private "discovery of Scotland" by recalling the links existing between the foreign country and his own: on one side, the Calvinist church and mentality had been imported from Geneva, while on the other, the topographic alternation between high mountains and low hills invited comparison with Switzerland. Necker's interest in geology first incited his second step in discovery, the exploration of the Highlands and Islands. Presently his ethnological curiosity was aroused to investigate a people who had been isolated for many centuries and who, after the abortive Jacobite Re­ bellion of 1745-1746, were confronted with the advanced civilization of Lowland Scotland, and of dominant England.
  • REGULATING the DEREGULATED BUS MARKET Peter MACKIE

    REGULATING the DEREGULATED BUS MARKET Peter MACKIE

    REGULATING THE DEREGULATED BUS MARKET Peter MACKIE Jonathan PRESTON Senior Lecturer Lecturer Institute for Transport Studies Institute for Transport Studies University of Leeds UK University of Leeds UK 1. INTRODUCTION In 1986, the British local bus industry was deregulated. Bus operators are now free to decide what bus services they wish to provide commercially and what fares they wish to charge. There is quality control of operators, drivers and vehicles, but no quantity or entry control. The only restriction on entry and exit is that the operator must register his service, giving 42 days notice of the route and timetable which are to be offered. Local authorities may choose to supplement the commercial network by securing additional services via competitive tender. Prior to 1986, the industry had been run on public service principles and had been largely exempted from the provisions of competition and restrictive practice legislation. The basic economic argument for deregulation was the contestability hypothesis. The industry, it was argued, was characterised by constant returns to scale and no significant sunk costs. Established firms would be forced to behave efficiently in terms of cost minimisation, resource allocation and innovation, if they were to prevent more efficient new competitors from entering their markets successfully. Competitive discipline would be maintained by the threat of entry to punish greedy or inefficient monopolists. From the point of view of regulatory control of industry, high market contestability has a number of desirable properties. The equilibrium prices and output in the market should be the same, irrespective of the market structure. A single firm cannot dominate the market, nor is there any incentive to merge with or acquire rival firms so as to reduce actual competition.

The theoretical arguments advanced for the application of competition policy generally, along with the costs identified as likely to flow from this policy, are examined in an attempt to devisea criteria by which the application of competition policy in specific casesmay be assessed.Enforcement activity of the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) and Monopolies and Mergers Commission (MMC) is examinedto consider the extent to which previousactions have resulted in outcomesthat may be identified or measured. Three specific investigations conducted between 1993 and 1997 are examined in somedetail in ChaptersS, 6 and 7. Thesearc related in Chapter 8 to more general experiencesof thoseinvolved repeatedlywith the operation of the regimein the United Kingdom. The experiencesand evidence drawn together in these four chapters have not, to the author's knowledge, previously been so considered or set out.
