With the above exception, Mr Hunt may be Consulted any day at his Residence. f POST OFFIciTDIRECTORY. ^2^ A/ O T H S. .^ The Royal Burgh of Ayr, the capital of Ayrshire, is situate! at the mouth of the River Ayr, the town and county receive their name from the River Ayr, a name which is probably a survival from the old times of the Strathclyde Britons, sig- nifying in Cymric, "the gentle water." Distant about 30 miles S. S.-W. from Glasgow, and by rail 74 miles S.-W. from Edinburgh. The spot has been inhabited from a remote antiqviity. It was the site of a Roman Station, and it has been ascertained that a hamlet remained here until the year 1197, when William the Lyon engrafted a new town upon it, which about the year 1202 he constituted a royal burgh. In ancient times Ayr was distinguished both for trade and military strength ; and being an important point of con- centration on the west, it was the scene of frequent conflicts, and repeatedly changed hands during the wars of Scottish, indei^endence, in the time of the Edwards and the Bruces.

INTRODUCTION This is a final report on the work done under Work Package 3 of the ADA project “Solar Energy Zimbabwe” according to the contracts signed between Development Technology Centre (DTC) of the University of Zimbabwe and AEE INTEC-Gleisdorf on one side and Domestic Solar Heating P/L (DSH) and AEE INTEC- Gleisdorf on the other side. The objectives of Work Package 3 are: 1) to obtain a detailed knowledge about the demand for solar hot water systems in the institutional sector as well as about the technical, social and economic barriers, which hamper the installation of the systems, 2) to come up with recommendations which help to overcome the barriers and which will assist the stakeholders to develop a strategy which facilitates the installation of solar water heaters. This report presents the results of the survey to tackle objective (1). The findings from the survey will be useful in tackling objective (2) of the Work Package. The field work for the study and the reporting was carried out in joint collaboration between DTC and Domestic Solar Heating P/L.
  • CAUGHT in the HEADLINES Scottish Media Coverage of Scottish Gypsy Travellers

    CAUGHT in the HEADLINES Scottish Media Coverage of Scottish Gypsy Travellers

    CAUGHT IN THE HEADLINES Scottish media coverage of Scottish Gypsy Travellers Amnesty International FOREWORD SUMMARY Amnesty International is concerned at the wealth of evidence showing discrimination against Scottish Gypsy Travellers and the hostility and divisions between Scottish Gypsy Traveller and settled communities. We believe that both groups lose out from the current situation. Given the low level of meaningful engagement between the two communities, the media has an important role to play in how settled communities gather information and form opinions about Scottish Gypsy Travellers. Yet anyone taking a cursory interest in the issue will quickly become aware of mainly hostile press coverage. To get an overview of the situation, we commissioned a media clippings agency to identify all Scottish coverage relating to Scottish Gypsy Travellers over a Amnesty International in Scotland four-month period. We received 190 articles which we characterised according to whether each was considered positive, negative or neutral. We also noted the length of each article. Amnesty Scotland recognises the efforts of journalists in Scotland, and in particular of the National Union of Journalists, Through that analysis we found: in striving towards producing high quality reporting of ethnic minorities. • With 190 articles in Scotland over four months (or 120 days) there is an average of nearly 1.5 articles a day about Scottish Gypsy Travellers. Given that there is a very small population of However, our research into media reporting of Scottish Scottish Gypsy Travellers (c. 20,000 people or less than 0.5 per cent of the Scottish population)1 Gypsy Travellers found that a significant number of articles this group receives a disproportionate level of scrutiny.

Attendance followed previous pattern whereby 121 people came through the door in the first hour. The event was held in a market stall style which generated a good level of networking between stall holders. For example, Gaiety Outreach group withdrew their bid in favour of the Carrick Centre. 1 3. Feedback Only issue arising was that there was not enough detail in from PB Event the voting information sheet; this was due to lack of space – North Carrick available.

SOLD BY THE AGENTS FOR THE COURANT; AND BY ALL BOOKSELLERS. : ELGIN PRINTED AT THE COURANT OFFICE, PREFACE, Thu ''Morayshire Directory" is issued in the hope that it will be found satisfactorily comprehensive and reliably accurate, The greatest possible care has been taken in verifying every particular contained in it ; but, where names and details are so numerous, absolute accuracy is almost impossible. A few changes have taken place since the first sheets were printed, but, so far as is known, they are unimportant, It is believed the Directory now issued may be fully depended upon as a Book of Reference, and a Guide for the County of Moray and the Upper District of Banffshire, Giving names and information for each town arid parish so fully, which has never before been attempted in a Directory for any County in the JTorth of Scotland, has enlarged the present work to a size far beyond anticipation, and has involved much expense, labour, and loss of time. It is hoped, however, that the completeness and accuracy of the Book, on which its value depends, will explain and atone for a little delay in its appearance. It has become so large that it could not be sold at the figure first mentioned without loss of money to a large extent, The price has therefore been fixed at Two and Sixpence, in order, if possible, to cover outlays, Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2010 with funding from National Library of Scotland http://www.archive.org/details/blacksmorayshire1863dire INDEX.

The ample accommodation and fantastic location of this property are ideal for a range of purchasers, particularly families and first time buyers. The property is presented to the market in good condition with an impressive amount of built-in storage throughout and the internal specification is complimented perfectly by low maintenance garden grounds to the front and rear, a garage, parking and elevated views from the upstairs rear windows out across countryside and over to the fishery.

In more detail, the internal accommodation extends to an entrance hallway, an inner hall leading to the kitchen with storage, a spacious lounge with a feature fireplace and dual aspect windows, and a modern fitted kitchen with a door out to the rear garden.
