Parliamentary Returning Officers 135 AGENDA ITEM [email protected] THE SCOTTISH OFFICE Home Department St. Andrew’s House Edinburgh EH1 3DG Telephone 0131-244 J-19 ’@ Fax 0131-244 Chief Executives of Unitary Authorities Electoral Registration Officers March 1996 Dear Sirhladam PARLIAMENTARY RETURNING OFFICERS 1. My letter of 6 November 1995 to Chief Executives of the new councils set out the position regarding parliamentary and European parliamentary returning officers after 1 April 1996 (copy attached, EROs only). The letter sought any comments about the councils the Department propose to recommend that the Secretary of State should designate as responsible for appointing a returning officer where a constituency covers more than one unitary authority area. 2. In all but 2 cases the Department’s proposals were acceptable to the councils concerned. In those instances where there was dissension from our proposals the Secretary of State gave careful consideration to the representations that were received from the councils concerned. He was not persuaded, however, that the arguments put forward warranted a departure from the general principles that had been followed and which were outlined in my letter of 6 November. As such, the Secretary of State has agreed that Orders should be made designating the councils, as proposed in my letter, as responsible for appointing returning officers where constituencies cover more than one unitary authority area for: a. existing parliamentary constituencies in the event of a by-election being held between 1 April and the date of the next general election; b. new parliamentary constituencies which would take effect at the next general election; and c. existing European parliamentary constituencies in the event of a by-election being held between 1 April and the next European parliamentary general election in June 1999. SAS0480 1 1 136 3. Work has now commenced on the preparation of these Orders. To provide you with as much notice as possible, however, a list of the councils responsible for appointing parliamentary and European parliamentary returning officers in &lconstituencies is included as an Annex to this letter. 4. Now that the designation of returning officers has been agreed the Department is considering what advice and guidance to issue to returning officers, many of whom will be undertalung these duties for the first time. Further information will be issued in due course. In the meantime, I would be grateful if all the councils responsible for appointing a parliamentary or European parliamentary returning officer could forward the name and address of the appointed officer at the earliest opportunity to Malcolm Lauder in Room 220, St Andrew’s House. Contact names and telephone numbers of those involved in the detailed plannings of elections would also be appreciated. 5. Any questions or comments on the contents of this letter should be directed to Mr Huw Williams on 013 1-244 2027 or Mr Malcolm Lauder on 013 1-244 21 88.

The framework has evolved since then, to now capture key elements of what the Scottish Government considers to be a high-performing planning service. These include: • speed of decision-making • certainty of timescales, process and advice • delivery of good quality development • project management • clear communications and open engagement • an overall ‘open for business’ attitude This Framework gives a balanced measurement of the overall quality of the planning service in Inverclyde, identifying what happened in 2016-17 as well as what is planned for 2017-18. It will form the basis on which the Scottish Government will assess planning performance against the backdrop of Inverclyde Council determining planning applications considerably faster than the Scottish average and benefitting from an up-to–date Local Development Plan and on-track replacement.

  • Battle of Philiphaugh." Berwickshire Naturalist Club, 8, 98
    Battle Name: Philiphaugh Council area: Scottish Borders Date: 13th September 1645 UKFOC number: 278 PHILIPHAUGH 1 SUMMARY 1.1 CONTEXT After the success of Kilsyth, Montrose intended to recruit his army before attempting to complete his military control in Scotland. But his Highland troops were disaffected when their plundering of Glasgow was heavily punished and within a few days many had deserted. Aboyne also left with most of the cavalry when Montrose appointed the Earl of Crawford as commander of the horse, while some 800 were sent north to protect their lands, reducing the army to little more than the 500 Irish troops and a few cavalry. Marching east through the Lowlands he was unable to raise significant numbers of new recruits. Not only was much of the area strongly Covenanter, the Highland and Irish troops may also have been unwelcome in the region because of the long trail of plundering and disorder that they had wreaked across Scotland over the preceding year, at places as far apart as Glasgow and Aberdeen. Montrose marched into the Borders to disrupt the mustering of the Covenanter levies and then, turning south from Kelso to Jedburgh and then west to Selkirk, he camped on the 12th September at Philiphaugh. However he suffered from poor intelligence from his scouts, for he was unaware that, on the 6th September, Sir David Leslie had marched north from England with a large army. On the 11th Leslie had rendezvoused with Lothian forces at Gladsmuir (west of Haddington), and then again unbeknown to Montrose, marched south, approaching Selkirk on the night of the 12th (1) (6) (2).

  • West Renfrew Hills Local Landscape Area Draft
    West Renfrew Hills Local Landscape Area Statement of Importance Contents 1. Introduction 2. Policy Context 3. Study Approach 4. Statement of Importance 4.1 Landscape Overview 4.2 Landscape Description 4.3 Local Landscape Area Boundary 4.4 Landscape Change 4.5 Other Designations and Interests 1. INTRODUCTION The West Renfrew Hills lie within the Clyde Muirshiel Regional Park and stretch from Inverkip and Wemyss Bay in the west to the edge of Loch Thom in the east and adjoin the North Ayrshire Special Landscape Area to the south. Patterns of hillside and coastal landscapes combine with the varied patterns of vegetation to help define the character of the rural areas and provide a functional setting for the urban areas of Inverclyde. 2. POLICY CONTEXT Scotland’s landscapes are recognised as a major asset, contributing to national, regional and local identities, adding to the qualities of many people’s lives and providing attractive settings which help promote social and economic development. The European Landscape Convention (ELC) highlights the importance of an ‘all landscapes’ approach to landscaping and encourages more attention to their care and planning. This provides a framework for work on Scotland's landscapes based on a set of five principles: people, from all cultures and communities, lie at the heart of efforts for landscape, as we all share an interest in, and responsibility for, its well-being; the landscape is important everywhere, not just in special places and whether beautiful or degraded; landscapes will continue to evolve in response to our needs, but this change needs to be managed; better awareness and understanding of our landscapes and the benefits they provide is required; and an inclusive, integrated and forward-looking approach to managing the landscapes we have inherited, and in shaping new ones, is required.

Happiness in their vocation and in their surroundings is the keynote of the out three of successful work now being carried by these masseuses in a Karachi hospital. They are Miss Mary R.

GENDER REFLECTIONS: A RECONSIDERATION OF PICTISH MIRROR AND COMB SYMBOLS by Traci N. Billings A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Anthropology at The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee December 2016 ABSTRACT GENDER REFLECTIONS: A RECONSIDERATION OF PICTISH MIRROR AND COMB SYMBOLS by Traci N. Billings The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, 2016 Under the Supervision of Professor Bettina Arnold, PhD. The interpretation of prehistoric iconography is complicated by the tendency to project contemporary male/female gender dichotomies into the past. Pictish monumental stone sculpture in Scotland has been studied over the last 100 years. Traditionally, mirror and comb symbols found on some stones produced in Scotland between AD 400 and AD 900 have been interpreted as being associated exclusively with women and/or the female gender. This thesis re-examines this assumption in light of more recent work to offer a new interpretation of Pictish mirror and comb symbols and to suggest a larger context for their possible meaning.
