Progress in Colour Studies 2012: List of Abstracts
Progress in Colour Studies 2012: List of abstracts Keynote lecture Prehistoric Colour Semantics: a Contradiction in Terms C. P. Biggam, University of Glasgow, UK The term prehistory indicates a time before written records, so how can we possibly understand the colour systems of prehistoric peoples? This paper will attempt to make a case, in relation to the distant past of the Indo-European family, that it is possible to provide a reasonable ‘reconstruction’ of certain concepts in languages for which there have been no living native speakers for many centuries. The argument will be presented that there are several disparate strands of evidence, all of them fragmentary, which can be brought together and viewed against the background of certain techniques and hypotheses employed by anthropologists, historical linguists, psychologists and archaeologists. The discussion will include indications, hints and evidence from the following: the colour systems of modern languages; colour category prototypes; the known techno-economic advances of prehistoric peoples; the identification of cognates in related languages; linguistic ‘primitives’; relative chronology; relative basicness; and the earliest Indo-European texts. It is hoped that the paper will provide a convincing argument that, because colour concepts can be approached from so many directions, this field provides one of the best chances we have to glimpse the workings of prehistoric minds.

The Cistercian Abbey of Coupar Angus, C.1164-C.1560
1 The Cistercian Abbey of Coupar Angus, c.1164-c.1560 Victoria Anne Hodgson University of Stirling Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2016 2 3 Abstract This thesis is an examination of the Cistercian abbey of Coupar Angus, c.1164-c.1560, and its place within Scottish society. The subject of medieval monasticism in Scotland has received limited scholarly attention and Coupar itself has been almost completely overlooked, despite the fact that the abbey possesses one of the best sets of surviving sources of any Scottish religious house. Moreover, in recent years, long-held assumptions about the Cistercian Order have been challenged and the validity of Order-wide generalisations disputed. Historians have therefore highlighted the importance of dedicated studies of individual houses and the need to incorporate the experience of abbeys on the European ‘periphery’ into the overall narrative. This thesis considers the history of Coupar in terms of three broadly thematic areas. The first chapter focuses on the nature of the abbey’s landholding and prosecution of resources, as well as the monks’ burghal presence and involvement in trade. The second investigates the ways in which the house interacted with wider society outside of its role as landowner, particularly within the context of lay piety, patronage and its intercessory function. The final chapter is concerned with a more strictly ecclesiastical setting and is divided into two parts. The first considers the abbey within the configuration of the Scottish secular church with regards to parishes, churches and chapels. The second investigates the strength of Cistercian networks, both domestic and international. -

And Public Health
Medicine, the Market and the Mass Media It is sixty years since the end of the Second World War, but historians have only just begun to explore thoroughly the postwar history of health and its interwar antecedents. Most research and literature has focused on health services and the arrival of the NHS; where public health is concerned many historical surveys ignore the recent past and base their investigations on the nineteenth-century public health legacy. This collection opens up the postwar history of public health to sustained research- based, historical scrutiny. Medicine, the Market and the Mass Media examines the development of a new view of ‘the health of the public’ and the influences that shaped it in the postwar years. The book looks at the dual legacy of social medicine through health services and health promotion, and analyses the role of the mass media along with the connections between public health and industry. These essays take a broad perspective examining developments in Western Europe, and the relationships between Europe and the USA. Virginia Berridge is Professor of History and head of the Centre for History in Public Health at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, University of London. She has published books and articles on health and society in the twentieth century. Kelly Loughlin is a lecturer in History at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and the main focus of her research is the history of health and medical communications in the UK.

While every effort is made to keep them up to date, they should not be considered a definitive or final assessment of our properties. Historic Environment Scotland – Scottish Charity No. SC045925 Principal Office: Longmore House, Salisbury Place, Edinburgh EH9 1SH Historic Environment Scotland – Scottish Charity No. SC045925 Principal Office: Longmore House, Salisbury Place, Edinburgh EH9 1SH CULROSS ABBEY SYNOPSIS The monument comprises the ruins of the former Cistercian abbey of St Mary and St Serf at Culross. It was founded in the 13th century by Malcolm, Earl of Fife, as a daughter-house of Kinloss. After the Protestant Reformation (1560), the east end of the monastic church became the parish church of Culross. The structures in care comprise the south wall of the nave, the cloister garth, the surviving southern half of the cloister's west range and the lower parts of the east and south ranges. The 17th-century manse now occupies the NW corner of the cloister, with the garth forming the manse’s garden. The east end of the abbey church is not in state care but continues in use as a parish church. CHARACTER OF THE MONUMENT Historical Overview: 6th century - tradition holds that Culross is the site of an early Christian community headed by St Serf, and of which St Kentigern was a member. -
Scottish Place-Name News No. 31
No. 31 Autumn 2011 The Newsletter of the SCOTTISH PLACE-NAME SOCIETY COMANN AINMEAN-ÀITE NA H-ALBA Sun and showers in an eastward view from Ben Wyvis. Dingwall, venue for the SPNS‟s Autumn conference, is at the head of the Cromarty Firth, the sunlit water in the distance. The complex history of place-naming in this area is epitomised by the names for Dingwall itself. This is from Old Norse Þingvöllr, „assembly field‟, testifying to its importance under Norse rule. The Gaelic Inbhir Pheofharain is formed of the usual Gaelic word for a river mouth and a P-Celtic stream name (cf. Welsh pefr, „radiant, beautiful‟), also found at several other places in eastern Scotland as far south as the Peffer Burns and Peffermill in Lothian, as well as Peover in Cheshire. Those attending the conference may learn of the story behind an unofficial Gaelic name, Baile Chàil, „cabbage town‟.

NATIONAL TRUST for SCOTLAND MEDIA INVITE Beautiful, Historic Covers Unveiled at Culross Palace
NATIONAL TRUST FOR SCOTLAND MEDIA INVITE Beautiful, historic covers unveiled at Culross Palace Dedicated volunteers have hand-crafted a series of stunning textiles for the National Trust for Scotland’s Culross Palace. The bedspread, bed curtains and door panel will be unveiled at 10.30am on Wednesday 5 April. YOU ARE INVITED TO SEND A PHOTOGRAPHER/ REPORTER. The Culross Needlework Group made the beautiful pieces for the Principle Stranger’s bedrooom at the historic palace which is owned and cared for by the National Trust for Scotland, the charity that conserves and promotes Scotland’s heritage. This room would have been reserved for the most important visitors to the palace with private access to both the palace interior, its courtyard and town beyond. Made from hand-woven linen and crewel wools that would have been used in the 17th century, the design reflects the patterns and colours of the bed hangings which were taken from original slips dating to the 1600s. The detailed designs were created and sewn by hand, taking the eight-strong group three years to complete. Property Manager Elaine Longmuir said: “These stunning textiles are an amazing addition to the palace for the 2017 season. It has taken years of skill and dedication from our wonderful volunteers to create them and we cannot thank them enough. Inspired by the original covers from the 1600s, they are more authentic and will help visitors understand what it would have been like to visit Culross Palace, all those years ago.” Culross Needlework Group have been generously supporting the work of the National Trust for Scotland for many years, creating beautiful textiles to enhance the visitor experience at its properties. -
September 2012
SEPTEMBER 2012 Newsletter of the Australian National Placenames Survey an initiative of the Australian Academy of Humanities, supported by the Geographical Names Board of NSW Tracking down the elusive cogie A report from Jan Tent the origin of cowal, presenting a paper entitled ‘Examining the name element/feature type cowal’ to an ANPS workshop in 2008. David concluded the word was of Aboriginal origin (from the Wiradjuri language); however, he also explored the notion that it was derived from Scottish kyle ‘narrow strait, sound channel between two islands or an island and the mainland’ (Gaelic caol). This view has had some currency: the Queensland Department of Environment and Resource Management notes on its placename website that Cowal Creek Caption in Cape York is named after Cowal Creek in NSW and that cowal ‘is of Scottish origin and is not Aboriginal’. 1 Figure 1: Dead Dog Cogie in flood, 2007 (photo: Jan Johnson) I recently stumbled upon a similar conundrum when I started some research on the There are several indigenous terms used as generics in syntax of Australian toponyms. I was trawling through Australian naming practice. Of those, billabong (‘a river the Gazetteer of Australia and came across The Cogie, branch that forms a backwater or stagnant pool’) and Native Dog Cogie and Dead Dog Cogie, all of which refer bombora (‘an area of large sea waves breaking over a to the same feature (lat. -33° 18’, long. 146° 26’), a few submerged rock shelf, reef, or sand bank’) are the best kilometres south-east of Lake Cargelligo and designated known, and are used all over the country.
