  • Friends of the Meadows and Bruntsfield Links
    Friends of the Meadows and Bruntsfield Links Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organization (SCIO) SC045955 N E W S L E T T E R 47 Autumn 2017 Editor's comment Your new Convener As you will all know by now, at the Annual General Meeting on 23 June a new Convener was elected: Andy Devenport very kindly agreed to accept the poisoned chalice. There is so much to do, and so little time to do it in, and Andy has a full-time job as well as various other voluntary commitments, but there is no one who is more familiar with the Meadows and Links than he is, since he has lived here since he was a child, and it is great that he has taken over from me, who only came to Scotland from 'down south' in 2003. At the AGM we also welcomed several new Trustees, enlarging our geographical remit to include members of Community Councils at the eastern end of the Meadows, and so enabling us to be fully representative of the whole area. Park Rangers We work together with the Park Rangers to do voluntary work, and were distressed when their number was cut from three to two in the Meadows and Links. At our August work party Jimmy Forrest did sterling work with us tidying up the area around the Croquet Pavilion, which we took further at the end of September, sadly without him. Jimmy is now in the Royal Infirmary after a motorbike accident. We have sent messages to him wishing for a good recovery, but it seems that this will take many months.

The Act makes provision for the designation of conservation areas as distinct from individual buildings, and planning authorities are required to determine which parts of their areas merit conservation area status. There are currently 39 conservation areas in Edinburgh, including city centre areas, Victorian suburbs and former villages. Each conservation area has its own unique character and appearance. Character Appraisals The protection of an area does not end with conservation area designation; rather designation demonstrates a commitment to positive action for the safeguarding and enhancement of character and appearance.

Early Golf in Scotland The modern game of golf we understand today is generally considered to be a Scottish invention. A spokesman for the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews, one of the oldest Scottish golf organisations, said "Stick and ball games have been around for many centuries, but golf as we know it today, played over 18 holes, clearly originated in Scotland." The word golf, or in Scots language gouf, is usually thought to be a Scots alteration of Dutch "colf" or "colve" meaning "stick, "club", "bat", itself related to the Proto-Germanic language *kulth- as found in Old Norse kolfr meaning "bell clapper", and the German Kolben meaning "mace or club".The Dutch term Kolven refers to a related sport.

  • The 'When, How and What' of Text Based Wayfinding Instructions For
    The ‘when, how and what’ of Text Based Wayfinding Instructions for Urban Pedestrians William Mackaness1, Phil Bartie2, Candela Sanchez-Rodilla Espeso1 1School of GeoSciences, The University of Edinburgh, Drummond St, Edinburgh EH8 9XP 2School of Natural Sciences, Stirling University, Stirling FK9 4LA [email protected] Keywords: built environment, pedestrian wayfinding, landmark saliency, LBS 1.0 A Context – urban pedestrian wayfinding The smartphone has become a conduit by which we access many different services (Raper et al. 2007; Kray et al 2005) in many different ways (Shneiderman 2004). Increasingly wayfinding in urban environments is supported by smartphone technology using maps and images; these demand our full attention (Gluck 1991; May et al. 2003). But our ambition is technology that is concealed (Weiser and Brown 1998), delivering only spoken instructions (Bartie and Mackaness 2006; Mackaness et al. 2013), thus leaving the pedestrian ‘eyes free’ and ‘hands free’ to enjoy the city. As a precursor to their spoken delivery, we report on the evaluation of a text based system in which subjects were directed by a series of landmark based instructions or street based instructions that were geo-located. Section 2.0 describes the underlying model, Section 3.0 the experiment and subsequent feedback and analysis gained through: trajectory analysis, questionnaires and a focus group. 2.0 A City Model to support Landmark modelling and instruction construction A map is data rich (hence requiring a lot of cognitive effort), whilst a dialogue based system needs to be efficient, and minimalist (we don’t want to bore the pedestrian to death), yet sufficiently robust that the user does not get lost.
