    Press Office Threadneedle Street London EC2R 8AH T 020 7601 4411 F 020 7601 5460 [email protected] www.bankofengland.co.uk 17 June 2009 Dunfermline Resolution: Announcement of the Preferred Bidder for the Social Housing Lending Business The Bank of England has selected Nationwide Building Society as the preferred bidder for the social housing loans and related deposits from housing associations (the 'Business') held by the Bank of England's wholly- owned subsidiary, DBS Bridge Bank Limited. This follows a competitive auction process conducted by the Bank of England, in accordance with the Code of Practice issued by HM Treasury under the Banking Act 2009. The Business had previously been transferred from Dunfermline Building Society ('Dunfermline') to DBS Bridge Bank Limited while a permanent home for the Business was sought. The transfer of the Business to the bridge bank took place on 30 March 2009 at the same time as the sale of certain core parts of Dunfermline to Nationwide Building Society. Dunfermline was then placed into the Building Society Special Administration Procedure. It is business as usual for the Business's customers. They can contact the Business in the usual way and should continue to make repayments as normal. Customers of other parts of the former Dunfermline Building Society's businesses now owned by Nationwide, or operated out of the Building Society Special Administration Procedure, are unaffected. The decision to select Nationwide Building Society as the preferred bidder followed advice from the Bank of England's Financial Stability Committee and consultation with the FSA and HM Treasury in accordance with the Banking Act 2009.

  • The Dewars of St. Fillan
    History of the Clan Macnab part five: The Dewars of St. Fillan The following articles on the Dewar Sept of the Clan Macnab were taken from several sources. No attempt has been made to consolidate the articles; instead they are presented as in the original source, which is given at the beginning of each section. Hence there will be some duplication of material. David Rorer Dewar means roughly “custodian” and is derived from the Gallic “Deoradh,” a word originally meaning “stranger” or “wanderer,” probably because the person so named carried St. Fillan’s relics far a field for special purposes. Later, the meaning of the word altered to “custodian.” The relics they guarded were the Quigrich (Pastoral staff); the Bernane (chapel Bell), the Fergy (possibly St. Fillan’s portable alter), the Mayne (St. Fillan’s arm bone), the Maser (St. Fillan’s manuscript). There were, of course other Dewars than the Dewars of St. Fillan and the name today is most familiar as that of a blended scotch whisky produced by John Dewar and Sons Ltd St. Fillan is mentioned in the Encyclopedia Britannica, 14th edition of 1926, as follows: Fillan, Saint or Faelan, the name of two Scottish saints, of Irish origin, whose lives are of a legendary character. The St. Fillan whose feast is kept on June 20 had churches dedicated to him at Ballyheyland, Queen’s county, Ireland, and at Loch Earn, Perthshire (see map of Glen Dochart). The other, who is commerated on January 9, was specially venerated at Cluain Mavscua in County Westmeath, Ireland. Also beginning about the 8th or 9th century at Strathfillan, Perthshire, Scotland, where there was an ancient monastery dedicated to him.

  • Highland Perthshire Through the Archive
    A Guide to the History and Culture of Highland Perthshire through the Archive Dick Fotheringham, bell ringer in the Aberfeldy area, c1930s Ref: MS316/31 Perth & Kinross Council Archive 1 Foreword While I have been a member of the Friends of Perth & Kinross Council Archive for some time I only became a Committee member last year. Thus my being asked to become the chair of the Committee at this year’s AGM was, from my perspective, rather rapid promotion! Now I have been given the great honour of writing this foreword to the Friends’ latest publication, a survey and guide to sources of information on every aspect of life in Highland Perthshire as encapsulated in the collections of the Archive. In it you will find a comprehensive overview of the huge range of collections relevant to this topic including history, genealogy, industry, settlements, estates and anything else you may be interested in. Some of the material is “official”, like local authority documents, police and Justice of the Peace records. However, there is also guidance on exploring community-based collections put together by local people who were determined their “story” would live on and be accessible to anyone who was interested. There are also many illustrations of documents of different types with informative notes beside each one. These are, of course, merely a glimpse of the rich and varied sources which exist and can be explored with the help of the staff of the Archive. A feature which we hope will be seen as innovative, and was the brainchild of the authors, is a specimen analysis of a document which is designed to show you what you can learn from it whether you are a family, house or local historian, or just interested in maximising the information that a document can provide.
