[Applause.] cathedral, Edinburgh. The Rev Andy Philip (St Mary’s Episcopal Cathedral, Edinburgh): Presiding Officer, members and staff of the Scottish Parliament, it is an honour and a joy to lead you in this time for reflection—not least because, for me, as a former official reporter, it is a homecoming of sorts. On Friday last week, the church celebrated St Barnabas, who was a leader, although perhaps not a leading figure, in the early Christian movement. We know relatively little about him, apart from the fact that Barnabas was certainly not his real name; it was a nickname given to him by the 12 apostles, and it means “son of encouragement”. That name tells us a lot about Barnabas. For instance, when St Paul, fresh from his conversion on the road to Damascus, tried to meet the 12 apostles, it was Barnabas who overcame their scepticism and made the introduction. It was also Barnabas who accompanied Paul on his first missionary journeys. Barnabas was there in the background, encouraging and supporting—and shaping history. We all need others who support and encourage us. I am sure that such people helped to shape your journey to the seats that you now occupy. I can think of several who helped to shape my journey towards ordination. There are, of course, many people behind the scenes who support the functioning of the Parliament and help you to shape history. Encouragement is not really the flavour of our culture. We Scots are a gey carnaptious clanjamfry, and the sharply critical global atmosphere in which we live just ramps up the pressure of that tendency.

    Political Change and Scottish Nationalism in Dundee 1973-2012 Thomas A W Stewart PhD Thesis University of Edinburgh 2019 Abstract Prior to the 2014 independence referendum, the Scottish National Party’s strongest bastions of support were in rural areas. The sole exception was Dundee, where it has consistently enjoyed levels of support well ahead of the national average, first replacing the Conservatives as the city’s second party in the 1970s before overcoming Labour to become its leading force in the 2000s. Through this period it achieved Westminster representation between 1974 and 1987, and again since 2005, and had won both of its Scottish Parliamentary seats by 2007. This performance has been completely unmatched in any of the country’s other cities. Using a mixture of archival research, oral history interviews, the local press and memoires, this thesis seeks to explain the party’s record of success in Dundee. It will assess the extent to which the character of the city itself, its economy, demography, geography, history, and local media landscape, made Dundee especially prone to Nationalist politics. It will then address the more fundamental importance of the interaction of local political forces that were independent of the city’s nature through an examination of the ability of party machines, key individuals and political strategies to shape the city’s electoral landscape. The local SNP and its main rival throughout the period, the Labour Party, will be analysed in particular detail. The thesis will also take time to delve into the histories of the Conservatives, Liberals and Radical Left within the city and their influence on the fortunes of the SNP.

    A Vision for Scotland

    A Vision for Scotland The Report and Final Recommendations of the Literacy Commission December 2009 1 Preface It was a privilege to be asked to Chair the Literacy Commission and, along with my colleagues, to produce a report and series of recommendations that we believe can help to address the low levels of avoidable illiteracy that still exist in Scotland today. From the outset, the Commission has operated on an independent and impartial basis using its own, limited resources. The findings that we have produced are not intended to support the aims and objectives of any individual political party or organisation and, it is with this in mind, that we offer our report to Scottish society as a whole. Literacy is a massive topic that covers not just the traditional skills of reading and writing but other literacy skill sets, such as emotional and financial literacy. Poor literacy affects not just school children; it also affects adults and those with learning difficulties. The Commission considered these different aspects and decided from the outset to focus its work on those children who have the capacity to learn and develop their literacy skills but who are currently failing to do so. For the past 18 months, the Commission has reviewed evidence from a variety of individuals and organisations with first hand experience of dealing with the problem of poor literacy, and considered very closely the factors that can contribute to this. Our report sets out eleven clear recommendations that we believe can address the problem of poor basic literacy and, if adopted by Scottish society, will place us in the enviable position of being the developed world’s first fully literate nation.
