The stated hope is that this will give voters the opportunity to end the current political paralysis by changing the personnel who occupy the green benches of the House of Commons and by giving a clear mandate to a Government with a working majority. There is, nonetheless, widespread acknowledgement that this could well prove to be a vain hope. The issue of Brexit has divided the nation in such a way that neither the Leave nor the Remain side can be confident of prevailing. Quite apart from the crippling effects of this political paralysis on the other issues facing the nation and the planet, there is every possibility that it could lead to an even longer-lasting paralysis if we also become embroiled in renewed debate regarding the Union itself. Many will consider the paralysis a price worth paying to achieve their preferred goals but few, surely, will not admit, at least to themselves, that our parliamentary system, and much of what surrounds it, has been found wanting by the challenges currently faced. There is already a clamour for constitutional reform. That, like so many other difficult matters, may simply be kicked into the long grass if the prevailing political issues are resolved. Another possibility to which experience points, is that it will give rise to knee-jerk changes which usually create more problems than they solve. The witness of the Jewish and Christian Scriptures highlights the needs which give rise to laws and political systems, but it also highlights the truth that there is no such thing as a perfect law or a perfect system of government. As human creations they will, inevitably, be flawed and our flawed human condition will further ensure that they are regularly abused to serve the demands of self-interest and personal ambition. It is to address this truth that God acts in Jesus Christ. 6 ABERLADY CHURCH 25TH NOVEMBER 2019 MINISTER’S MESSAGE CONTINUED Jesus, famously, replied to those accusers who sought to trap him, that they should render unto Caesar that which is Caesar’s and unto God that which is God’s. Despite the hopes and expectations of many of his followers, Jesus refused to become a political revolutionary. Instead, and knowing that every system is only as strong as its weakest link, Jesus addressed himself to the individual human condition. Embodying his message in himself, he challenged everyone to look to themselves with honesty and integrity. For most people this was a deeply uncomfortable experience but for many it proved to be liberating beyond their wildest dreams. Sometimes that experience of liberation is depicted in the Gospel narratives by way of physical healing; as the blind are given sight; the deaf hearing and the paralysed the joy of mobility. As we enter Advent once more; this time with the prospect of being called upon to exercise our democratic privilege and responsibility to vote in a General Election, we render unto Caesar that which is Caesar’s as we place our cross on the ballot paper.

  • 7. Some Lesser Lothian Streams This Is A
    7. Some Lesser Lothian Streams This is a ‘wash-up’ section, in which I look briefly at a number of small streams, mostly called burns, which flow directly to the sea or the Firth of Forth, but which in terms of discharge rate are mainly an order of magnitude smaller than the rivers looked at so far. For each, I give a short account of the course and pick out a few features of interest, presenting photographs as seems appropriate. Starting furthest to the east, the streams dealt with are as follows: 1. Dunglas Burn 2. Thornton Burn 3. Spott Burn 4. Biel Water 5. East Peffer Burn 6. West Peffer Burn 7. Niddrie Burn 8. Braid Burn 9. Midhope Burn As shall become clear, some of these streams change their names more than once along their lengths and most are formed at the junction of other named streams, but hopefully any confusion will be resolved in the accounts which follow. 7.1 The Dunglas Burn The stream begins life as the Oldhamstocks Burn which collects water from a number of springs on Monynut Edge, the eastern flank of the Lammermuir Hills. No one of these feeders dominates, so the source is taken as where the name Oldhamstocks Burn appears, at grid point NT 713 699, close to the 200m contour. After flowing c3km east, the name changes to the Dunglas Burn which flows slightly north-east in a deep, steep- sided valley for just over 7km to reach the sea. For the downstream part of its course the burn is the boundary between the Lothians and the Scottish Borders, but upstream it flows in the former region.

  • Appendix J Haddington Branch Line Survey
    Appendix J Haddington Branch Line Survey AllanRail East Lothian Access STAG Physical feasibility of re-opening the Haddington Rail Branch Line Background The reopening of the Haddington Railway branch line from the East Coast Main Line (ECML) at Longniddry to Haddington is one of the options that are required to be considered in the East Lothian Access STAG. This initial report informs the appraisal work of the feasibility of re-opening the railway, some of the issues and problems that would need to be resolved, choices that are available and suggests an order of magnitude cost. Because the rest of the railway is electrified it is assumed that the Haddington branch will also be equipped with standard 25Kv overhead electrification equipment. The report is based on a physical site walk-over on 21 February 2019, carried out by David Prescott of AllanRail who has considerable experience in the initial development of re-opened railways in Scotland including walk-overs on the Stirling – Alloa – Kincardine, Airdrie- Bathgate and Borders Railway routes in the inception and pre-construction stages. This is not an engineering assessment, but an initial view based on observation and experience. The route is considered in the Longniddry to Haddington direction and the report is broken down into key route sections. Connecting to the ECML The ideal connection to the main line has several desirable operating and engineering requirements: · It should be on the Edinburgh side of Longniddry to minimise the occupation of the ECML; · It should provide as

  • Gullane to North Berwick on the John Muir Way
    Gullane to North Berwick on the John Muir Way Start: Gullane Finish: North Berwick Distance: 10 km / 6 miles (one way) Time: 2½ - 3 hours (one way) Terrain: Pavements, Farm Tracks and grass paths. Directions: Follow the John Muir Way east along Gullane’s Main Street. Half a mile outside the village go through a timber gate and follow the track through the woods, cross the access road for Archerfield Links and then follow a track to the right, which brings you out in Dirleton. Follow the signs for the John Muir Way to your left and continue down a farm track to Yellowcraig. Continue along the path around the edge of the woodland and across a field and then go through another timber gate leading to a grass path along the edge of North Berwick Golf Club. The path comes out at the end of Strathearn Road and the route then follows pavements to the centre of North Berwick. Points of interest: 1. Gullane – A lovely village very much built around golf. The ruined St Andrews’ Kirk dates from the 1100s and was built to replace a church built in 800. 2. Archerfield House – Originally built in the 17th Century and remodelled in the 18th Century, Archerfield House fell into disrepair and was used as a farm store. The house was completely renovated in 2001. 3. Dirleton Castle – The earliest parts of the castle date from the 1200s. The castle was damaged and rebuilt several times over the next few centuries and eventually abandoned in the 1600s. The castle was then acquired by the Nisbet family, who went on to build Archerfield House.
