From its source, the Red Burn flows through a marshy area dominated by Purple moor-grass and then cuts through sandstone to form a steep sided glen. Further downstream the glen becomes partially wooded. To the south of this section are a number of tributary streams which rise from the western slopes of Killoeter and besides these are acid-grassland communities. Craigendoran Marsh, Argyll and Bute site code 21, site size 2.3 ha, grid reference NS 31113 81152 A site of infill supporting a habitat of marshy grassland.

At the northern tip of the wood is a pond with a rich aquatic flora and damselflies including Azure (Coenagrion puella) and Blue-tailed (Ischnura elegans). Duchess Wood, Argyll and Bute site code 13, site size 21.49 ha, grid reference NS 28700 83700 A semi-natural broad-leaved woodland surrounded by amenity grassland and housing. The wood is well used by the public and has several established footpaths. The site is on sloping ground with several streams and has an acid soil. The woodland is probably an ancient relic Oak/Birch community. The site has however been previously managed and exotics have been introduced. As a result of dense shade and trampling, causing impaction and erosion, some areas of the wood have a poor ground flora. However, less disturbed areas have a rich flora. This site is also designated as an LNR. Fruin Water, Inverlauren Wood and Daligan Marsh, Argyll and Bute site code 18, site size 31.82 ha, grid reference NS 31800 84800 A series of valuable habitats associated with the Fruin Water.

  • 1. Canongate 1.1. Background Canongate's Close Proximity to The
    Edinburgh Graveyards Project: Documentary Survey For Canongate Kirkyard --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Canongate 1.1. Background Canongate’s close proximity to the Palace of Holyroodhouse, which is situated at the eastern end of Canongate Burgh, has been influential on both the fortunes of the Burgh and the establishment of Canongate Kirk. In 1687, King James VII declared that the Abbey Church of Holyroodhouse was to be used as the chapel for the re-established Order of the Thistle and for the performance of Catholic rites when the Royal Court was in residence at Holyrood. The nave of this chapel had been used by the Burgh of Canongate as a place of Protestant worship since the Reformation in the mid sixteenth century, but with the removal of access to the Abbey Church to practise their faith, the parishioners of Canongate were forced to find an alternative venue in which to worship. Fortunately, some 40 years before this edict by James VII, funds had been bequeathed to the inhabitants of Canongate to erect a church in the Burgh - and these funds had never been spent. This money was therefore used to build Canongate Kirk and a Kirkyard was laid out within its grounds shortly after building work commenced in 1688. 1 Development It has been ruminated whether interments may have occurred on this site before the construction of the Kirk or the landscaping of the Kirkyard2 as all burial rights within the church had been removed from the parishioners of the Canongate in the 1670s, when the Abbey Church had became the chapel of the King.3 The earliest known plan of the Kirkyard dates to 1765 (Figure 1), and depicts a rectilinear area on the northern side of Canongate burgh with arboreal planting 1 John Gifford et al., Edinburgh, The Buildings of Scotland: Pevsner Architectural Guides (London : Penguin, 1991).

McKenna Dear Friends, At Mayfield Salisbury, we have so much to give thanks for. At its best, the church is a community of prayer and pastoral care, of public worship and daily witness in our everyday lives. As a community, we are at our best when we appreciate and encourage each other, when we celebrate the gifts of others as well as our own, and when we live out mercy and forgiveness when things are not all that they might be. In a world at times harsh, lonely and unloving, it is of immeasurable value to be part of a community defined by love. We may not always get things right, but to embody love, understanding and compassion is a true sign of God’s presence, of the Spirit’s influence within us and among us. Inclusion has always been part of our story at Mayfield Salisbury. I have watched people with physical disability I am proud of our efforts to support the struggle to climb or descend our steps at work of Christian Aid and, more recently, the West Door and for some the risk of the perinatal project at CrossReach.
