MCCARTY has been approved for the Department of Geography and the College of Arts and Sciences by _________________________________________________________ Geoffrey L. Buckley Associate Professor of Geography __________________________________________________________ Benjamin M. Ogles Dean, College of Arts and Sciences Abstract MCCARTY, ERIN G., M.A., June 2007. Geography GREEN BELT PLANNING IN EDINBURGH AND BALTIMORE: A CROSS-SITE COMPARISON (107 pp.) Director of Thesis: Geoffrey L. Buckley Policy makers continue to develop ways to control sprawl, but the problem is growing. Many studies offer evaluations of current planning efforts or suggest new ones; however, few have sought to explain the evolution of sprawl, especially as it affects open space planning. This study compares the creation and current conditions of open space planning in Edinburgh, Scotland and Baltimore, Maryland. The research specifically focuses on the Green Belt around Edinburgh, Scotland and addresses several open space management programs in and around Baltimore. Results show that history, government structure, and adherence to a regional plan achieve open space preservation goal. Additionally, the future of each city’s open space may be dependent upon their approach to planning. This study is part of the ongoing Baltimore Ecosystem Study, a multifaceted, long-term ecological research project devoted to understanding how cities function as ecosystems.

  • Former Fellows Biographical Index Part
    Former Fellows of The Royal Society of Edinburgh 1783 – 2002 Biographical Index Part Two ISBN 0 902198 84 X Published July 2006 © The Royal Society of Edinburgh 22-26 George Street, Edinburgh, EH2 2PQ BIOGRAPHICAL INDEX OF FORMER FELLOWS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF EDINBURGH 1783 – 2002 PART II K-Z C D Waterston and A Macmillan Shearer This is a print-out of the biographical index of over 4000 former Fellows of the Royal Society of Edinburgh as held on the Society’s computer system in October 2005. It lists former Fellows from the foundation of the Society in 1783 to October 2002. Most are deceased Fellows up to and including the list given in the RSE Directory 2003 (Session 2002-3) but some former Fellows who left the Society by resignation or were removed from the roll are still living. HISTORY OF THE PROJECT Information on the Fellowship has been kept by the Society in many ways – unpublished sources include Council and Committee Minutes, Card Indices, and correspondence; published sources such as Transactions, Proceedings, Year Books, Billets, Candidates Lists, etc. All have been examined by the compilers, who have found the Minutes, particularly Committee Minutes, to be of variable quality, and it is to be regretted that the Society’s holdings of published billets and candidates lists are incomplete. The late Professor Neil Campbell prepared from these sources a loose-leaf list of some 1500 Ordinary Fellows elected during the Society’s first hundred years. He listed name and forenames, title where applicable and national honours, profession or discipline, position held, some information on membership of the other societies, dates of birth, election to the Society and death or resignation from the Society and reference to a printed biography.

  • From the Outer Hebrides to the Eastern Townships of Canada in the Nineteenth Century
    Margaret Bennett 143 FROM THE OUTER HEBRIDES TO THE EASTERN TOWNSHIPS OF CANADA IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY Professor Margaret Bennett, Honorary Research Fellow University of St Andrews, Scotland Abstract The Potato Famine of 1846–56 severely affected the West Highlands and Is- lands of Scotland, forcing mass emigration to the New World. Those who settled in Quebec kept alive memories about the homeland, the Atlantic cross- ing, the allocation of land in the Eastern Townships, company houses, pio- neer homesteading, optimism, faith, and community spirit. Only newspapers and official records document the famine, while fireside stories handed down through generations tell of faith, hope, loyalty, honesty, neighbourliness and hard work. Today, Scotland’s “Old Alliance” with France is reflected in a new relationship reviving interest and kinship on both sides of the Atlantic. Résumé La Grande Famine de 1846–1856 a durement affecté les Highlands de l’Ouest et les iles d’Écosse, menant à une émigration forcée vers le Nouveau Monde. Ceux qui se sont installés au Québec ont gardé vivantes les mémoires de la mère-patrie, de la traversée de l’Atlantique, de l’allocation de terres dans les Cantons-de-l’Est, des maisons fournies par les employeurs, de l’installation sur les terres en concession, de l’optimisme, de la foi, et de l’esprit communautaire. Seuls les journaux et les documents officiels racontent la famine alors que les récits au coin du feu transmis de générations en générations parlent de foi, d’espoir, de loyauté, d’honnêteté, d’entraide entre voisins et de durs labeurs.

  • Landscape Aesthetics, Conservation and Public Access Before 1940
    6. Landscape aesthetics, conservation and public access before 1940 The story of Scottish forestry during the twentieth century is not only one of forest expansion and timber production, but also one of tourism, recreation and landscape conservation. This is a significant aspect of the interaction between the Forestry Commission, the general public and other stakeholders such as local landowners and conservation organisations1 and its influence on forestry policy. The story begins during the Romantic period in the late 18th and early 19th centuries when poets, travellers and naturalists discovered both pleasure and scientific interest in British woods long before ecologists and conservationists in the middle of the twentieth century. This nineteenth century ‘delight’ in woods and forests led inexorably to the development of tourism and recreation in wooded parts of Britain such as the Scottish Highlands, the Lake District and the Forest of Dean.2 It is therefore surprising that provisions for amenity and improvement and maintenance of the beauty of the landscape were initially not included in the objectives of forest policy. The Forestry Commission did not regard this aspect as necessary and they believed that afforestation in itself would improve the beauty and amenity value of the landscape, and therefore it was an explicit part of forestry that did not need any mention. The term amenity was used in a broad sense to describe the aesthetic and recreational aspects of the landscape as well as conservation of wildlife and natural beauty.3 Although amenity was not initially an explicit part of forest policy, an amenity stipulation was formulated soon after the creation of the Commission.

Gerard Baldwin Brown: Edinburgh and the Preservation Movement (1880-1930). Malcolm Ashton Cooper A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Edinburgh 2015 Abstract In 1880 Gerard Baldwin Brown (1849-1932) was appointed by Edinburgh University as its first Watson Gordon Professor of Fine Art. Over the fifty-year period that he held the professorship he was to become well-known as a scholar of Anglo-Saxon art and culture, preparing the first comprehensive study of Anglo-Saxon church architecture in England as part of a six volume study of the arts in early England. In 1905 he produced a monograph, The Care of Ancient Monuments (Cambridge, 1905) which provided a comprehensive assessment of the protective systems in place across Europe and America for the protection of ancient buildings and monuments and made strong recommendations for the strengthening of the protective measures in Britain.
