    lifelii p" I (SCOTTISH RECORD SOCIETY, INDEX TO THE REGISTER OF BURIALS IN THE CHURCHYARD OF RESTALRIG, 1728-1854. c EDITED BY FRANCIS J. GRANT, W.S., ROTHESAY HERALD AND LYON CLERK.- EDINBURGH : t) hos PRINTED FOR THE SOCIETY BY JAMES SKINNER & COMPANY 1908. EDINBURGH: PRINTED BY JAMES SKINNER ANU COMPANY. 54- PREFACE. The village of Restalrig is situated in the parish of South Leith and on the eastern outskirts of the city of Edinburgh. It is a place of great antiquity, and in pre-Reformation times its collegiate church was the parish church of Leith. At the Reformation the church, which was dedicated to St. Triduana, was ordered by the General Assembly to be -razed and utterly cast down as a monument of idolatry, and the parishioners ordained to repair to St. Mary's Church at Leith, a sentence which was only too faithfully carried out. The edifice remained a ruin till the year 1836, when the present chapel of ease was constructed out of its remains. Though ceasing to be a place of worship after 1560, the churchyard continued to be a place of sepulchre, and after the disestablish- ment of Episcopacy in 1689 was used by the members of that body as a place of burial when denied the right to conduct service in other places. In 1726, with the sanction of John, Lord Balmerino, and James, Lord Coupar, his son, the proprietors of the Barony, the Friendly Society of Restalrig was constituted, and to its care the ruined church and church- yard were made over. The first members of this Society were Messrs.

    PATRICIA MCCAFFERTY WORKING THE 'THIRD WAY': NEW LABOUR, EMPLOYMENT RELATIONS, AND SCOTTISH DEVOLUTION THESIS PRESENTED FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY, DEPARTMENT OF SOCIOLOGY, UNIVERSITY OF GLASGOW MAY 2004 © PATRICIA M`CAFFERTY, MAY 2004. ABSTRACT Labour's election victory in 1997 was heralded as a new era, the dawn of a Third Way, a novel attempt to chart a unique political course overcoming the perceivedlimitations of both New Right and Old Labour. In this thesis I explore the era of New Labour generally and, in particular, the impact of the Third Way on working lives. Key to my analysis is New Labour's attempt to synthesise oppositional interests,in particular those of capital and labour. This involves a crucial rhetoric of flexibility, competitivenessand partnership. My research explores the rhetoric of New Labour in relation to the reality of this new force in power. It does this by: " drawing out key features in the development of New Labour, especially its relation to Old Labour; " examining central elementsof New Labour ideology; " arguing that Scotland should be seen as central to the transition from Old to New :Labour; " utilising a case study of industrial relations developments in a major electronics factory in the West of Scotland and, to a lesser extent, key developmentsin public sector employment. My main finding is that where New Labour's ideology promisespositive benefits, the form of its implementation has negative impacts for workers. Since I take New Labour as a process, my thesis concludes with a more speculative exploration of possible future developments,both in relations to New Labour's role in them, and their possible impact on the New Labour project.

  • Kirkliston to Cramond

    Kirkliston to Cramond

    Kirkliston to Cramond Last leg of a 4-part route down the full length of the valley of the River Almond. Starts Kirkliston. Quarter hourly bus (38) from Edinburgh. Also buses 63 and 600. Varied walk: banks of R. Almond, beside the airport runway; woods, estate; coast. Distance: 14 km Walk begins at bus stop on Kirkliston High St. adjacent to The Square beside the old Parish Church. Find a narrow snicket, behind black safety railings, next to a whitewashed cottage (2 doors right of the cottage with the ‘Amulree’ wall plaque). Follow the snicket as it doglegs left and the right towards the river. You emerge from Cobblers Close onto Wellflats Rd. Bear right. After a few paces go straight over the old railway path. After a few more paces, at the Y-junction, take the right-hand road straight ahead with a neat, brown fence on the right. The road looks to be ending but keep straight ahead along a really narrow pathway between houses, with a high fence on the right. This alleyway leads to the river bank. Carry on along a most pleasant stretch of river bank until you come to a bridge. Cross over. Turn sharp left to follow reasonably close to the riverside. Keep to the thin footpath on the low levee, rather than the field edge. Soon you come to the strange set of buildings of Hallyards. Walk straight ahead, keeping to the left of buildings. There are all sorts of strange containers, old vehicles and trucks. Keep going until your way appears to be blocked, or partially blocked.
