— THE CORPORATION OF THE SCOTTISH PROVIDENT INSTITUTION ESTABLISHED 1837, The terms of this Society secure, as compared with other Offices, A greatly Larger Original Assurance for the same Premium, with the prospect to good lives, (for whom eajclusively the whole Profits are reserved) of eventually receiving very considerable additions, , Thus, a Policy for £1200 or £1250 can at most ages be had, from the first, for the premium charged elsewhere for £1000 only. Policies for £1000 which have shared at three Septennial Investigations have already been increased to £1400, £1600, and even to £1800. Examples of Annual Premium to secure £100 at Death (with Profits) : Age 25 30 35 40 45 50 Payable during Life £1 18 £2 16 £2 6 10 £2 14 9 £3 5 9 £4 1 7 Limited to 21 Years £2 12 6 £'A 15 4 £3 2 £3 7 5 £3 17 6 £4 12 1 Thus a person of 30 may secure £1000 at death, with Profits, for a yearly premium of £20 15s., which in the other Scottish Mutual Offices would assure £800 only. Or, if unwilling to burden himself with payments during the whole of his life, he may secure a policy for £1000, with prospect of additions from the profits, for a Premium of £27 13s 4d, limited to twenty-one payments, being nearly the same as most Offices require during the whole of life. ^" Tables of Premiums^ to cease after 7, 14, or any other number of years, may be had on application. The New Assurances of last year were £621,574. The subsisting Assurances are now upwards of Six Millions. The Annual Income of 1867 was £234,000. The Accumulated Fund, arising entirely from Premiums, was £1,365,365—all invested in undoubted securities. REPORTS, and every information, may be obtained at the Head Office^ 6 ^S'^.

Community planning puts local people at the heart of delivering services. It is not just about creating a plan or a vision but about jointly tackling major issues such as health, transport, employment, housing, education and community safety. These issues need a shared response from, and the full involvement of, not only public sector agencies but also local businesses, voluntary organisations and especially local people. The community planning partners in East Ayrshire are committed to working together to make a real difference to the lives of all people in the area. We have already achieved a lot through joint working, but we still need to do a lot more to make sure that everybody has a good quality of life. Together, those who deliver services and those who live in our communities will build on our early success and on existing partnerships and strategies to create a shared understanding of the future for East Ayrshire.

    Redirecting to East Ayrshire Council

    EAST AYRSHIRE COUNCIL CABINET REPORT – 3RD OCTOBER 2007 ADDITIONAL STREETSPORT CAGES Report by Executive Director of Neighbourhood Services 1. PURPOSE OF REPORT 1.1 To request that the Cabinet approve the installation of two new StreetSport Cages in Crosshouse and Newmilns, and agree the proposed site for the similar facility in Darvel subject to the satisfactory outcome of consultation exercises. 2. BACKGROUND 2.1 Following the success of existing Multi-use Games Areas in Shortlees and North West Kilmarnock, Leisure Services have worked in partnership with East Ayrshire Sports Council to develop a network of these facilities across East Ayrshire. These new facilities now known as StreetSport Cages, compliment and extend the range of play facilities being made available through the Council’s Playpark Improvement Programme. 2.2 Further to Committee approval at Community Services Committee on 8th November 2006, a network of facilities was developed via a range of external and internal funding allocations. The development and subsequent installation of this network demonstrated East Ayrshire’s forward thinking approach to the development of Community Sport and its commitment to providing young people with positive alternatives to Youth Crime. This was highlighted nationally with the Council being featured on BBC Radio Scotland’s Good Morning Scotland Show and on BBC TV’s Reporting Scotland. 2.3 A subsequent report to Community Services Committee on 31st January 2007 approved the allocation of an additional StreetSport Cage to Darvel. Final implementation, however, was to be subject to a community consultation process. 2.4 The original proposal for the Darvel StreetSport Cage was to site it within the boundaries of Morton Park as the majority of youth disorder complaints being received from Darvel focused on this area.

Date of Interview: 11th August 2017. Interviewer: Bobby Grierson. Recording Agreement: Yes Information & Content: Yes Photographic Images: Yes (Number of: 1) Location of Interview: Skype. Cumnock, Ayrshire. Full Transcript Introduction, welcome and information about respondent. Q1. What is your connection to Pennylands Camp? A1. I was born at Grimgrew one of the cottages on the Dumfries House Estate and I was aware of Pennylands from about the age of six and going round with my father who was the Shepherd on Dumfries House Estate and the camp had just been completed but was not occupied to that extent. It wasn’t a prisoner of war camp. The biggest problem they had was that the sewage treatment plant didn’t work because whoever had constructed it had only sealed the connections on top of the pipes with cement. The plant discharged into the river Lugar up river from the Lady’s Bridge. Q2 Can you tell me a little about your family, your parents and any siblings? A3. I was the only one. My mother Violet Cameron was also born and brought up on the estate and she was one of eight. Her father James Cameron was the estate joiner for 50 years as was his father before him. He lived at the Longrig, which is shown on one of the photos you have. There were two houses together at the bottom of the Longrig, one that faced onto the Longrig where John Murray lived and he had eight of a family.
