It is an immensely useful resource for historians in Scotland trying to place significant individuals in their historical context when acting in national and local affairs. Gordon MacGregor has put in many years research into the production of this nine volume magnus opum collection of genealogies with the entry for each person clearly referenced. I have worked with Gordon MacGregor on a number of successful claims to titles and clan chiefships in the Court of the Lord Lyon, where his evidence has been accepted by the Lord Lyon, King of Arms who accepted “that Mr MacGregor has experience as a genealogical record researcher and has knowledge of researching in Scottish records”.

SNH came into being on 1 April 1992, and in our first Annual Report we published an inventory of Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs). After an interval of five years it is appropriate to now update this inventory. We have also provided a complete Scottish listing of National Nature Reserves, National Scenic Areas, European sites and certain other types of designation. As well as the information on sites, we have also published information on our successes during 1996/97 including partnership funding of projects, details of grants awarded, licences issued and our performance in meeting our standards for customer care. We have also published a full list of management agreements concluded in 1996/97. We hope that those consulting this document will find it a useful and valuable record. We are committed to being open in the way we work and if there is additional information you require, contact us, either at any local offices (detailed in the telephone directory) or through our Public Affairs Branch, Scottish Natural Heritage, 12 Hope Terrace, Edinburgh EH9 2AS.

Ik heb daar ook wat hele mooie boeken kunnen kopen, bijvoorbeeld originele Amerikaanse boeken van Paul Auster met harde kaft, voor weinig geld en personeelskorting. Ik heb het boekje gekocht, inderdaad in de hardcoverband met koordje, op de ramsj van Selexyz Scholtens in Groningen. Die is als je de trap afgaat aan je linkerhand. De andere Selexyz-en in o. A'dam en Utrecht hebben ook ramsjafdelingen, maar ik weet niet of die dit boekje ook hebben liggen. Goei tip Bas. Er is hier geen Selexyz maar het toeval wil dat mijn vrouw op dat moment in Amsterdam liep. Ze heeft er een mee gebracht van Scheltema. Mooie timing Ik had mijn exemplaar onlangs weg gegeven maar wilde het toch wel weer hebben. Re: Legendarische whiskyverhalen, Johannes van den Heuvel Ongelezen bericht door macoffringa » Vr Feb 12, pm Dit is een deeltje in de serie Legendarische X-verhalen, uitgegeven door Spectrum. Er is ook een Legendarische Wijnverhalen en een Legendarische Bierverhalen als ik het goed heb. Het zijn compilaties en bewerkingen van verhalen die eerder gepubliceerd zijn door anderen. Tegenwoordig is het niet ongebruikelijk dat een uitgever "meteen voor de ramsj gaat", zoals het goedkope maar indrukwekkende "Whisky - Een Werelddrank", dat vanaf de publicatie al voor slechts 12,50 euro te koop was. Met het boekje van Johannes is dat niet het geval. Eerder werd het voor, ik meen, 17,95, verkocht.

My family and friends have been generous with encouragement, advice and support. In particular, I would like to thank Professor Campbell who provided valuable advice during the initial stages of this work, and Dr. Neil Tranter whose support and constructive criticism made possible its completion. Above all, I would like to thank Ian Mitchell whose assumption of the domestic trivia provided me with the necessary time and whose confidence in the project never wavered. A special debt is owed to my parents whose awareness of and love for their Highland heritage was an inspiration, and it is to them that I dedicate this thesis.

    The Sugar Campbells They enjoyed the first condition of an aristocracy - an unquestioned social supremacy… they had their faults, no doubt they were exclusive and intolerant, they carried things with a high hand, and altogether thought more of themselves than there was any need for. But their recognised position at least freed them from the temptation to a vulgar display of wealth and, if they had strong prejudices, and were as slow to take in new ideas as to admit outsiders to their circle, at least they had the courage of their opinions, and were outspoken, sometimes too outspoken, in expressing them1. 1 (Guthrie-Smith, J. and Mitchell, J.O., 1878) `1 The Sugar Campbells `2 The Sugar Campbells The Sugar Campbells FIGURE 1 - SUGAR BOILING WORKS IN TRINIDAD C 18302 2nd Edition Collated and Edited by Geoff Daniel (Bridgen, 1836) 2 The juice is conveyed in pipes from the mill to the boiling house .
