Also Present Councillors Austin-Hart, Paterson, Walker, and Work (Item 1). 1. Order of Business Due to the significance of the Local Development Plan, the Convener, seconded by Councillor Dixon, proposed suspension of Standing Order 30.1, in order to hear local members’ views on the proposals. Decision To unanimously resolve that Standing Order 30.1 be suspended for the duration of the meeting in order that local members may be heard. 2. Local Development Plan: Submission to Examination – Ward Members and Deputations a) Local Ward Members The following ward councillors were heard:- 1) Almond Ward – Councillors Paterson and Work Councillor Paterson was heard on her concerns that the plan had not undergone significant revision since Committee had considered it in 2014. At that time, she stated that concerns on infrastructure and loss of green space in her ward had not been satisfactorily addressed. She highlighted the level of concern in her ward and requested a moratorium on the Scotstoun element of the Plan. Councillor Work advised that he agreed with the statement made by Councillor Paterson and indicated he remained concerned about infrastructure pressures and expressed a preference for the use of brownfield over greenfield sites for housing. 2) Liberton/Gilmerton Ward – Councillor Austin Hart Councillor Austin Hart raised various issues with the LDP, including concerns that GP services in her area were already over-subscribed, and that no monies had yet been identified to meet the need for additional school capacity. She indicated that housing development applications which had already received approval, and yet were not included in the Plan, and their inclusion could alter the number of homes required to be built in the east of the city 3) Portobello/Craigmillar Ward – Councillor Walker Councillor Walker expressed concern about transport links for the new housing developments planned for his ward, stressing the landlocked nature of the land identified would require high expenditure to implement new routes. He also felt that existing infrastructure would not cope with the increased housing density, and that the historic character of Craigmillar and the surrounding area would be damaged. (b) Deputations (i) Cramond and Barnton Community Council The Clerk advised that Cramond and Barnton Community Council had withdrawn their request for a deputation. (ii) Cammo Residents Association Committee agreed to hear a deputation from Sally Chalmers on behalf of Cammo Residents Association. The deputation made the following points:- • Whilst there was an obvious need for additional housing in Edinburgh, the Cammo site was not appropriate because of educational and infrastructure pressures. • The area already suffered severe traffic congestion at peak times of the day, which the higher housing density outlined in the Plan would inevitably exacerbate. More traffic would also lead to higher levels of pollution. • Schools in the area were already at capacity. • The views of local people did not seem to have been taken into account during the consultation, and other brownfield sites around the city which seemed to present more obvious options for development had been overlooked. (iii) Moredun 4 Multis Residents Association The Committee agreed to hear a deputation from Neil Hansen on behalf of Moredun 4 Multis Residents Association. The deputation made the following points:- Planning Committee – 14 May 2015 • The housing planned for the area would wipe out the only significant green space in area, a great loss to the community in general, and particularly the children who play there. • Existing issues of noise and other anti-social behavior could be worsened by increased development. • Parking was already difficult in Moredun. Hospital staff used the area for parking and this would be exacerbated when the new Sick Kids opened. • Dentists and G.Ps in the area were already over-subscribed. • There had been a 20-fold increase in the level of objection from the area since LDP Phase 1. (iv) Friends of Granton Castle Walled Garden The Committee agreed to hear a deputation from Kirsty Sutherland, Linda Garcia and David Leslie representing the Friends of Granton Castle Walled Garden. The deputation made the following points:- • Since their last deputation, Historic Scotland had decided to upgrade the listed status of the garden. • Given the site’s historical horticultural significance, it should not be considered suitable for development and the Committee was asked to amend the text of the Plan to clarify that the garden should be a protected open space. (v) Craigmillar First The Committee agreed to hear a deputation from Paul Nolan from Craigmiller First, on behalf of his organisation, Craigmillar Labour and Niddrie Independent Parent Support. The deputation made the following points:- • The area had already lost 8 parks and green spaces, totaling approximately 11 hectares. • More consideration should be given to protecting the historic environment. • Traffic was already heavy in Newcraighall, and the proposals would worsen the situation, as well as having a detrimental impact on the character of the village. • Going forward with the Plan in its current form would erode the remaining green belt between Edinburgh and East Lothian.

  • Scottish Oral History Centre 2015 Report
    The Centre for the Social History of Health and Healthcare Health and health-related oral history archives. Report, 26 May 2015 Dr David Walker (SOHC) This scoping out project began on 05 January 2015 and concluded on 30 April 2015 and was undertaken by Dr David Walker (Scottish Oral History Centre, University of Strathclyde). The aim of the project was to make more accessible a rich vein of existing historical evidence on health history and health cultures in Scotland through a systematic survey of extant oral evidence across archives, libraries, museums and private collections across the country. The resulting data set may be useful to: a) Staff who may be considering research and/or research funding bids based on such oral evidence b) Students for UG and Masters dissertations and PhD theses c) Partnerships with HLF groups, museums and heritage centres The project was conducted by searching on-line catalogues, visiting archives and using email and telephone to make contact with those most likely to own or know of oral history sources. This included various academic and archive staff working within Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Glasgow Caledonian, Strathclyde, Stirling, and West of Scotland universities. Contact was also made with East Dunbartonshire Edinburgh, Glasgow, Inverclyde and Culture NL (North Lanarkshire) museums as well as the Scottish Jewish Archives Centre and the National Mining Museum. Contact was also made with Lothian Health Services, Greater Glasgow and Clyde Health Board, the Royal College of Nursing, the UK Centre for the History of Nursing and the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons in both Glasgow and Edinburgh.

At one time paupers of the parish were maintained on the poor fund, later augmented by a tally on beer and the issue by the parish of licences to beg. No accommodation was provided. In 1744 it was decided to remedy this by building a poor house. It was not until 1761 that the poor house was opened on the site of the present Caledonian Hostel. The institution included a school where orphans could be taught a trade or craft. In 1865 the city’s Medical Officer of Health, Henry Littlejohn, found that his poor house was in an insanitary condition and ordered improvements to be made.

There may be differences between this version and the published version. You are advised to consult the publisher’s version if you wish to cite from it. http://eprints.gla.ac.uk/202624/ Deposited on: 06 November 2019 Enlighten – Research publications by members of the University of Glasgow http://eprints.gla.ac.uk Understanding Scotland’s medieval cartularies1 Abstract: The medieval cartulary is well known as a major source for documents. This article takes Scotland as a case study for examining how the understanding of medieval cartularies has been shaped by those works extensively used by researchers to access cartularies and their texts—in a Scottish context this is principally the antiquarian publications and modern catalogues. Both pose their own problems for scholars seeking to understand the medieval cartulary. After an in-depth examination of these issues, a radical solution is offered which shifts the attention onto the manuscripts themselves. Such an approach reveals those extant cartularies to be fundamentally varied, and not an exclusive ‘category’ as such. This in turn allows historians to appreciate the dynamic nature of them as sources for documents, and to eschew the deeply embedded tendency to see the cartulary simply as a copy of a medieval archive. Keywords: Cartularies; charters; medieval manuscripts; antiquarian editions; modern catalogues. For

Such a book should be as mxich historical as descriptive. For Edinburgh is not less richly endowed with memories than with beauty ; and its present can be read only in the light of its past. At no time have the builder and improver—those scene-shifters in the drama of modern town life—been busier in sweeping romance, along with stone and lime, into the dust-bin ; and every year familiar features of the streets and closes are drafted from the list of the city's sights into that of the city's memories. The opening of the new North Bridge offers a natural starting-point for the survey and retrospect ; it promises—or threatens—to bring in its train changes almost as great as those that make the construction of the first bridge across the valley between Old and New Edinburg an era in the history of " mine own romantic town." For the illustrations of the volume thanks are due to Mr.
