I do not think there can be any doubt that Mr. McKinlay has now very clearly put on record three important facts: 1. The scope of Audit Scotland’s work on Actual Reality and Castle Toward was limited to the sales of Castle Toward and Ardentinny; and it was only the results of that work which were given in the annual audit report to elected members and to the Controller of Audit. 2. You have known about this limitation all along because the scope of Audit Scotland’s work was agreed in an exchange of letters between you and Fiona Mitchell-Knight in February this year. 3. Audit Scotland accordingly did not carry out any detailed audit work on the allegations that we have made about the closure of Castle Toward in 2009 and they are “therefore not in a position to comment on the substance or otherwise of them”. My purpose in writing to you now is to ask you to account for the claims made in the name of the Council, that Audit Scotland have supported, confirmed, or validated Council officers’ position that our allegations about the events of 2009 have no substance.

    Excavations at Bothwell Castle, North Lanarkshire

    Proc Soc Antiq Scot, 127 (1997), 687-695 Excavation t Bothwelsa l Castle, North Lanarkshire John Lewis* ABSTRACT The following report describes two small-scale excavations (in 1987-8 and 1991) within the castle enclosure and a watching brief carried out in 1993 during the topsail clearance which preceded the installation of a new car park some 100 m east of the castle. Trenching to the immediate east of the postern revealed traces of what may have been an extension to the south range; and a possible robber trench, perhaps associated with the gatehouse, was uncovered just inside the modern entrance to the castle. The project was funded by Historic Scotland (former SDD/HBM).

  • Water Safety Policy in Scotland —A Guide

    Water Safety Policy in Scotland —A Guide

    Water Safety Policy in Scotland —A Guide 2 Introduction Scotland is surrounded by coastal water – the North Sea, the Irish Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. In addition, there are also numerous bodies of inland water including rivers, burns and about 25,000 lochs. Being safe around water should therefore be a key priority. However, the management of water safety is a major concern for Scotland. Recent research has found a mixed picture of water safety in Scotland with little uniformity or consistency across the country.1 In response to this research, it was suggested that a framework for a water safety policy be made available to local authorities. The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) has therefore created this document to assist in the management of water safety. In order to support this document, RoSPA consulted with a number of UK local authorities and organisations to discuss policy and water safety management. Each council was asked questions around their own area’s priorities, objectives and policies. Any policy specific to water safety was then examined and analysed in order to help create a framework based on current practice. It is anticipated that this framework can be localised to each local authority in Scotland which will help provide a strategic and consistent national approach which takes account of geographical areas and issues.

AMUS MACPHERSON, " Editor of the People's Centenary Edition of Burns. | until ton PRINTED AT THE "ADVERTISER" OFFICE, BY WM. NAISMITH. 1862. V-* 13EFERKING- to a recent Advertisement, -*-*; in which I assert that all my Black and Coloured Cloths are Woaded—or, in other wards, based with Indigo —a process which,, permanently prevents them from assuming that brownish appearance (daily apparent on the street) which they acquire after being for a time in use. As a guarantee for what I state, I pledge myself that every piece, before being taken into stock, is subjected to a severe chemical test, which in ten seconds sets the matter at rest. I have commenced the Clothing with the fullest conviction that "what is worth doing is worth doing well," to accomplish which I shall leave " no stone untamed" to render my Establishment as much a " household word " ' for Gentlemen's Clothing as it has become for the ' Unique Shirt." I do not for a moment deny that Woaded Cloths are kept by other respectable Clothiers ; but I give the double assurance that no other is kept in my stock—a pre- caution that will, I have no doubt, ultimately serve my purpose as much as it must serve that of my Customers. Nearly 30 years' experience as a Tradesman has convinced " me of the hollowness of the Cheap" outcry ; and I do believe that most people, who, in an incautious moment, have been led away by the delusive temptation of buying ' cheap, have been experimentally taught that ' Cheapness" is not Economy.
