  • Airspace Change Consultation
    Airspace Change Consultation Glasgow Prestwick Airport is undergoing an Airspace Change Process. This is a programme many UK airports are undertaking. It is needed because of the removal of old navigation aids as part of a national replacement programme. Airports have operated routes based on this old equipment since the mid-1960s and need to update their procedures to be compatible with new, state of the art satellite-based systems.

  • Burns Supper Even Before His Death, Poet Robert Burns' Cottage At
    Burns Supper Even before his death, poet Robert Burns’ cottage at Alloway, Ayrshire, had been sold to the incorporation, or guild, of shoemakers of Ayr, one of whose members turned it into an alehouse. It was here, on 29 January 1801 (they got his birthday wrong) that soldiers of the Argyll Fencibles (militia) met to hear their band play – and to use the services of his cottage in its new role. The first recorded Burns Supper took place at Alloway in the same year, but on the anniversary of his death (21st July). It involved a speech and multiple toasts; to eat there was haggis (which was addressed) and, a mercifully lost tradition, sheep’s head; given the social status of those present, refreshment was probably wine and ale rather than whisky. Present were nine friends and patrons of Burns. Among them was a lady, though thereafter the Suppers were mostly (sometimes militantly) all-male affairs until far into the twentieth century: a curious slant on Burns’ own life as well as on the first dinner. The ‘toast to the lasses’ was traditionally thanks for the cooking and an appreciation of the women in Burns’ life, only later degenerating into a sexist (often misogynistic) rant. Celebrations were held twice yearly until 1809 when participants settled on January (25th), because this fell in a slack period of the agricultural year. Commercialisation of his birthplace did little to honour the memory of his life and work, and in 1822 the poet John Keats complained bitterly of how both the ambience and the landlord of the Alloway inn degraded Burns’ greatness.

  • Dean Castle Development Project
    Dean Castle Development Project eastayrshireleisure.com A Brief History Dean Castle dates from at least the 14th Century. Built by the ambitious, influential and well-travelled Boyd family, the Lords of Kilmarnock, the buildings and estate continued to be lived in and developed until the mid-1700’s, when a large fire devastated the site. The Boyd family moved on shortly after and the site passed through the ownership of several important and influential people, until it was inherited by the 8th Lord Howard de Walden. From about 1905, De Walden set about re-building areas of the Castle that had fallen into disrepair. He used the Castle to display his collections of Arms and Armour, and early Musical Instruments. In 1974, the 9th Lord Howard De Walden gifted the Castle, estate and collections to the people of Kilmarnock under the stewardship of Kilmarnock and Loudoun District Council, now East Ayrshire Council. The venue has operated as a visitor attraction ever since, and is managed by East Ayrshire Leisure Trust. The Dean Castle site comprises a number of historic buildings set around a central courtyard. These are: The Keep Completed around 1350, the Keep is the oldest permanent structure on the site. It was the original home and stronghold of the Boyd family, Lords of Kilmarnock. As well as being a domestic residence, the work of the Lords was done here. It contains a Great Hall, private chambers, Minstrel’s Gallery, a dungeon, a guardhouse, and kitchens. The Palace (or Place) This building was finished around 1460 and was designed to accommodate the expanding role that the Boyd Family held in society and within political circles.

    The Robert Burns World Federation Newsletter Issue 16 July 2015 This edition of the Newsletter continues to demonstrate the wonderful work being done by the Federation in promoting the life and works of Robert Burns with the younger generation. It is particularly gratifying to see the enthusiasm of pupils involved in the Primary Schools’ Festival and in a repeat performance of the Burns musical ‘Rabbie’ at the Edinburgh Fringe by St George’s Girls School, Edinburgh. Some very welcome thoughts on promoting Burns in the classroom are presented by a secondary school teacher and hopefully it will evoke a response. The rededication ceremony for the laying of the foundation stone for the Burns Mausoleum in Dumfries, some 200 years after the original event, is deservedly given full coverage.
