In difficult economic times, Fèisean nan Gàidheal’s focus will remain on ensuring that support for the Fèisean remains at the heart of this organisation’s efforts. Gaelic drama also continued to flourish with drama Fèisean in schools, Meanbh-Chuileag’s perFormance tour of Gaelic schools and a successFul Gaelic Drama Summer School. In addition work was begun on radio drama in the Iomairtean Gàidhlig areas, continuing to make a valuable contribution to increasing the use oF Gaelic among young people. Fèisean nan Gàidheal continued to develop its use oF Gaelic language with Gaelic training to stafF, volunteers and tutors. Our service provides support to Fèisean to ensure that they produce printed and web materials bilingually, and seeks to help Fèisean ensure a greater Gaelic content in their activities. During the year, we trained volunteers and tutors and we began to see the output From our exciting Archiving Project with two more publications from Fèis Cheann Loch Goibhle and the Inverness-based Fèis na h-Òige and Fèis a’ Bhaile. Blas 2009 was the most successFul yet, with a large number of events across the Highlands, among them special concerts in castles and distilleries tying in with some oF the themes oF Homecoming Scotland. We were grateful For additional funding from EventScotland, extra support and marketing from Homecoming Scotland, as well as the continued support oF other Funders and our main Blas partner, The Highland Council. Another highlight was Ceòl nam Fèis 2009 at Eden Court, a special showcase concert marking the end oF the Homecoming Scotland 2009 celebrations. We welcomed Richard Lochhead MSP, the Cabinet Secretary For Rural AfFairs and Environment to this was well-attended event. Highlights were broadcast on BBC Radio nan Gàidheal on New Year’s Day. Another project oF note was one involving Western Isles-based Fèisean in a special event For the HebCelt Festival. Ar Dachaigh featured young people From the island Fèisean and was rounded off with a song called Glaodh an Iar, specially-written by Calum MacDonald oF Runrig and his son, Donald. In August 2009, Fèisean nan Gàidheal’s was visited separately by Michael Russell MSP, then Minister for Culture, External AfFairs and the Constitution and Fiona Hyslop MSP, then Cabinet Secretary For Education and LiFelong Learning. Both Ministers showed a great interest in the work oF the Fèisean and were keen to Find out how we support local groups and how we incorporate Gaelic language in our work. I would like to pass on my sincere thanks to the staFF oF Fèisean nan Gàidheal for their tremendous hard work and dedication over the year; to my colleagues on the Board who give up a great deal oF time and expertise to lead the organisation; and oF course to the many hard-working and dedicated volunteer and paid Fèis organisers, the tutors and the young people who are the heart and soul of Fèisean nan Gàidheal. At the end of 2009 we were sorry to lose David Boag who gave Fèisean nan Gàidheal great service in the 12 years he was with us. He has moved on to a new senior post within Bòrd na Gàidhlig and we wish him well in this new, challenging work. Following a recruitment process, Calum Alex Macmillan was appointed as Development Manager and took up his post in January 2010. Fèisean nan Gàidheal is extremely grateful to its Funders For continuing to support our work, which research has show to provide many beneFits for the young people we work with. In difficult economic times, we hope that support will continue from our main funders the Scottish Arts Council, The Highland Council, Bòrd na Gàidhlig, Highlands & Islands Enterprise, Comhairle nan Eilean Siar and Argyll & Bute Council. We are also grateful For the support of a wide range of other funders for specific projects. 2 We expect the coming year, and perhaps the next Few years, to be challenging Financially. Fèisean nan Gàidheal’s reputation has been built on ensuring delivery oF a wide range oF projects, always with a beneFit to the Fèisean. There will challenges in the times ahead, but we also think there will be opportunities, and it is likely that we will have to adapt what we do to make the most oF those opportunities. We have prepared a new Development Plan, with conFidence, and we will move ahead and continue to ensure support and, where possible, growth in the work of the Fèisean.

The thesis has two main purposes; the first is to examine the historicity of the novel and how Buchan makes use of historical events while creating his characters and storyline. The second objective of the dissertation is to examine Buchan’s goals and inspirations while writing the novel, where his influences come from and why he wrote the book, his aims of education and of entertainment. It will assess the effect writers like Robert Louis Stevenson and Sir Walter Scott had on Buchan’s writing and then considers how Buchan’s upbringing and personal opinions appear in the novel.

  • 1 Update Report on the Winning Years Prepared for the Scottish
    Update Report on The Winning Years Prepared for the Scottish Parliament’s Economy, Energy and Tourism Committee 9 September 2013 INTRODUCTION This report updates the Scottish Parliament’s Economy, Energy and Tourism Committee on the activity and results from The Winning Years; eight milestones over three years which VisitScotland and partners have been promoting to, and working with, the tourism industry on. The overall ambition behind the development of the Winning Years concept is to ensure that the tourism industry and wider visitor economy is set to take full advantage of the long-term gains over the course of the next few years. The paper is divided into sections covering each of the milestones: Year of Creative Scotland The 2012 London Olympics The Diamond Jubilee Disney.Pixar’s Brave Year of Natural Scotland The Commonwealth Games The 2014 Ryder Cup Homecoming Scotland 2014 (incl. up to date list of events) From this report Committee members will see that excellent progress has been made, with strong interest in Scotland’s tourism product from around the world as the country builds to welcome the world in 2014. All of this despite the continuing global economic difficulties. Evidence of bucking the global trend and the success of the 2012 Winning Years milestones can be seen in VisitScotland’s announcement at the end of August that its two main marketing campaigns brought nearly £310m additional economic benefit for Scotland since January 2012. This is a rise of 14% on the same period the year before. VisitScotland’s international campaigns target Scotland’s main markets across the globe including North America, Germany and France as well as emerging markets, such as India and China.

Abstract The development and evolution of an agricultural system is influenced by many factors including binding constraints (limiting factors), choice of investments, and historic presence of land and income inequality. This study analyzed the development of two farming systems: mechanized, “economies of scale” farming in the Arkansas Delta and crofting in the Scottish Highlands. The study hypothesized that the current farm size in each region can be partially attributed to the binding constraints of either land or labor.

Meernik, Acting Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Matheson, Calum Lister. Ruinous pride: The construction of the Scottish military identity, 1745-1918. Master of Arts (History), August 2011, 120 pp., bibliography, 138 titles. Following the failed Jacobite Rebellion of 1745-46 many Highlanders fought for the British Army in the Seven Years War and American Revolutionary War. Although these soldiers were primarily motivated by economic considerations, their experiences were romanticized after Waterloo and helped to create a new, unified Scottish martial identity. This militaristic narrative, reinforced throughout the nineteenth century, explains why Scots fought and died in disproportionately large numbers during the First World War.
