SCOTTISH INSTITUTE FOR ENTERPRISE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE YEAR Throughout the year, SIE has provided students with many and varied opportunities to become more innovative and to recognise how they can use their skills and knowledge to make a positive contribution to Scotland’s economy.

It lists former Fellows from the foundation of the Society in 1783 to October 2002. Most are deceased Fellows up to and including the list given in the RSE Directory 2003 (Session 2002-3) but some former Fellows who left the Society by resignation or were removed from the roll are still living. HISTORY OF THE PROJECT Information on the Fellowship has been kept by the Society in many ways – unpublished sources include Council and Committee Minutes, Card Indices, and correspondence; published sources such as Transactions, Proceedings, Year Books, Billets, Candidates Lists, etc. All have been examined by the compilers, who have found the Minutes, particularly Committee Minutes, to be of variable quality, and it is to be regretted that the Society’s holdings of published billets and candidates lists are incomplete. The late Professor Neil Campbell prepared from these sources a loose-leaf list of some 1500 Ordinary Fellows elected during the Society’s first hundred years. He listed name and forenames, title where applicable and national honours, profession or discipline, position held, some information on membership of the other societies, dates of birth, election to the Society and death or resignation from the Society and reference to a printed biography.

EDINBURGH Printed at the University Press by T. A. Constable Ltd. for the Scottish History Society 1922 CONTENTS INTRODUCTION DIARY—Vol. I. DIARY—You II. INDEX INTRODUCTION Of the two MS. volumes containing the Diary, of which the following pages are an abstract, it was the second which first came into my hands. It had found its way by some unknown means into the archives in the Offices of the Church of Scotland, Edinburgh ; it had been lent about 1899 to Colonel Milne Home of Wedderburn, who was interested in the district where Ridpath lived, but he died shortly after receiving it. The volume remained in possession of his widow, who transcribed a large portion with the ultimate view of publication, but this was never carried out, and Mrs. Milne Home kindly handed over the volume to me. It was suggested that the Scottish History Society might publish the work as throwing light on the manners and customs of the period, supplementing and where necessary correcting the Autobiography of Alexander Carlyle, the Life and Times of Thomas Somerville, and the brilliant, if prejudiced, sketch of the ecclesiastical and religious life in Scotland in the eighteenth century by Henry Gray Graham in his well-known work. When this proposal was considered it was found that the Treasurer of the Society, Mr.

  • Edinburgh, Scotland Destination Guide
    Edinburgh, Scotland Destination Guide Overview of Edinburgh Presenting a distinctly Gothic cityscape as it spreads out below its ancient castle, reaching out to the port of Leith, Edinburgh is far from dour. The canny Scots have crafted a capital with enthralling culture and festivity, veneered with sophistication but seeped in history. It's a heady combination that never fails to charm visitors to the city. The first thing that catches the eye in Edinburgh is the looming battlements of the castle, sitting atop sheer granite cliffs that can only be accessed from one steep ridge. Today the castle heads up the Royal Mile and a linear set of streets making up the 'New Town', created when Edinburgh was re-designed in the 1700s, after the Act of Union with Britain. The New Town; named a UNESCO World Heritage Site along with the Old Town, is the artistic heart of the capital, with an abundance of galleries, shops, cafes and historical sites. When it comes to sightseeing, many of Edinburgh's attractions are based on historic stories and legends, from the churchyard where Greyfriar's Bobby, the terrier, refused to leave his master's grave, to the grand royal apartments of Holyrood House, where Mary Queen of Scots watched her husband kill her lover back in the 16th century. Although, unquestionably engaging from historical and cultural perspectives, Edinburgh also has a strong culinary presence, with five restaurants sporting Michelin stars and a growing fine-dining and bar scene. A spirited city at any time of year, Edinburgh's eclectic nature is never more pronounced than during the summer months, when the Edinburgh Festival fills the city with drama, creativity and colourful visitors from around the world.

  • Haggis, Scoops and Fatties – Edinburgh 2006
    Haggis, Scoops and Fatties – Edinburgh 2006 No sooner had I returned from my frenzy of scooping in Argentina than we were off to Edinburgh for a long weekend with the intention of revisiting all our favourite pubs and the added incentive of Cow Parade to goad us into wandering around more of the city than we ordinarily would. This, our third UK trip of the year, had been booked a month earlier courtesy of a BMIBaby offer which allowed us to fly from Birmingham for £40 return; if we hadn’t been able to depart from Brum then I’d have driven up as it’s quite a scenic drive (once you pass Blackpool!) and, with travel and with check-in times included, it’s almost as quick to drive than to fly. The final decision to fly had been taken when we found out we could fly from Birmingham and when we located an ideal hotel slap in the centre with only one parking space for every 15 rooms! Fortuitously, I’d been collecting points with the Holiday Inn chain during my frequent stays around the country with my work and I had enough points, after paying £50 to top-up my account, to book two nights in the Holiday Inn express on Picardy place which put us in a very central location for the extensive pub scooping itinerary I’d planned for us and saved us a whopping £152! Saturday 17th June 2006. The wheels on the bus... Our flight was predictably early from Birmingham; so early, in fact, that we couldn’t even have a few trips on the skyrail before we went through security as we were there prior to it commencing operations for the day! We departed only slightly late and the 45-minute flight seemed over almost before we’d reached cruising altitude and we took the usual route in following the Firth of Forth, turning inland almost over the Starbank at Newhaven, before touching down at Edinburgh’s surprisingly small airport just to the west of the city at Ingliston.
