Please note that some records may be closed due to restrictions such as data protection. Other records may not be accessible as they are too fragile or damaged.

For many years it had been felt that there was a need for a Society in Scotland primarily devoted to the study of the History of Medicine and its allied Sciences. Such a Society came into being on 23rd April 1948, when a well attended and representative gathering of medical men and other interested persons from all over Scotland met in the Hall of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh. It was then agreed to constitute the Society and to call it "The Scottish Society of the History of Medicine." A Constitution was drawn up and Office-Bearers for the ensuing year were elected. From this beginning the Society has grown steadily and now has a membership of some hundred persons. After the business of this Preliminary 1\1 eeting had been carried through, the Medical Superintendent of the Royal Infirmary of Dundee, Dr. Henry J. C.

    Jeff Holmes Jeff Holmes Just Champion: The Stories Behind Rangers’ 2020/21 Title Triumph tells the tale of a league title win against all the odds. Rangers were ridiculed in 2018 when they appointed rookie manager Steven Gerrard. But slowly, and methodically, he transformed Rangers into a machine, and one that would completely dismantle Celtic’s hopes of landing an unprecedented tenth successive title. Now, 30 members of the Rangers family - from ex-players to loyal supporters - tell their stories of how the title came home to Ibrox. Title Triumph 2020/21 Behind Rangers’ The Stories Mark Walters, Marco Negri and Lisa Swanson are among the players The Stories Behind Rangers’ featured, as are former directors Dave King, John Gilligan and Paul Murray. Add to this Andy Cameron MBE, Sir Brian Donohoe and even 2020/21 Title Triumph one of Her Majesty’s Ambassadors, and the cast list grows more impressive by the minute. TV stars, restaurateurs, coaches, entertainers; they’re all here in one book. You will laugh, cry and marvel as each individual tells their tale. And what connects this anthology of stories is each individual’s unequivocal love of a football team. And that team is Glasgow Rangers.

  • Managing Change in the Historic Environment: Structures
    Managing Change in the Historic Environment Engineering Structures October 2010 Key Issues 1. Historic structures and works of civil engineering are often of significant architectural and historic interest in their own right. Listed building consent is required for any works affecting the character of a listed building and planning permission may be required in a conservation area. Scheduled monument consent is always required for works to scheduled monuments. 2. Works to historic engineering structures must be based on a thorough understanding of their design, construction and use of materials. This is likely to require the involvement of structural engineers and others with relevant experience of dealing with such structures. 3. Where remedial or strengthening works are found necessary, they must: • be in sympathy to the way that structure performs; • restore the structural strength and extend its life. 4. Existing materials should be replaced only where essential to structural stability or other safety- related issues, and where the consequences of that intervention are understood. In general, existing material should be retained and augmented, rather than replaced, by new construction where stability or other safety-related issues are of concern. 5. Some structures may not have an obvious alternative use, but should nonetheless be retained to give a sense of place to a development. 6. Planning authorities give advice on the requirement for listed building consent, planning and other permissions. 2 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 This is one of a series of guidance notes on managing change in the historic environment for use by planning authorities and other interested parties. The series explains how to apply the policies contained in the Scottish Historic Environment Policy (2009) (SHEP, PDF 312K) and The Scottish Planning Policy (2010) (SPP, PDF 299K).

  • Stewart2019.Pdf
    Political Change and Scottish Nationalism in Dundee 1973-2012 Thomas A W Stewart PhD Thesis University of Edinburgh 2019 Abstract Prior to the 2014 independence referendum, the Scottish National Party’s strongest bastions of support were in rural areas. The sole exception was Dundee, where it has consistently enjoyed levels of support well ahead of the national average, first replacing the Conservatives as the city’s second party in the 1970s before overcoming Labour to become its leading force in the 2000s. Through this period it achieved Westminster representation between 1974 and 1987, and again since 2005, and had won both of its Scottish Parliamentary seats by 2007. This performance has been completely unmatched in any of the country’s other cities. Using a mixture of archival research, oral history interviews, the local press and memoires, this thesis seeks to explain the party’s record of success in Dundee. It will assess the extent to which the character of the city itself, its economy, demography, geography, history, and local media landscape, made Dundee especially prone to Nationalist politics. It will then address the more fundamental importance of the interaction of local political forces that were independent of the city’s nature through an examination of the ability of party machines, key individuals and political strategies to shape the city’s electoral landscape. The local SNP and its main rival throughout the period, the Labour Party, will be analysed in particular detail. The thesis will also take time to delve into the histories of the Conservatives, Liberals and Radical Left within the city and their influence on the fortunes of the SNP.
