  • North Berwick and the Law
    North Berwick and the Law Start and finish: Scottish Seabird Centre Distance: 3km / 2 miles (one way) Time: 1½ - 2 hours each way Terrain: Mostly paths and well- surfaced pavements. Steep climb (178 metres / 583 feet) to the top of the Law. Directions: Head south on Victoria Road and Quality Street; continue through the Lodge Gardens and Grounds keeping straight ahead to emerge on to St Baldred’s Road. Cross the road and continue straight on, following the John Muir Way signs. You will go through a small, wooded area and then across Gilbert Avenue and Lochbridge Road. Follow the path into Law View and turn right, with North Berwick Law on your left. At the end of this path turn left and follow the path to the car park. From here follow the signed path to the summit. Points of interest: 1. Scottish Seabird Centre – lots of opportunities for learning about the amazing wildlife of the Firth of Forth and its islands. 2. St Andrew's Old Kirk – ancient church with remains dating from the 12th – 17th centuries surrounded by medieval graveyard. Recent excavations have identified even earlier remains. 3. Boat trips – many operators sail from North Berwick Harbour. 4. Lodge Gardens and Grounds – Victorian designed Public Park. 5. North Berwick Law is the remnant of ancient volcanic activity and is a typical ‘Crag and Tail’ land formation as a result of glacial erosion during the Ice Age. There is also an earlier Iron Age hill fort with evidence of prehistoric remains. The Napoleonic lookout shelter on the Law was subsequently used in World War I.

  • Ministers of ‘The Black Art’: the Engagement of British Clergy with Photography, 1839-1914
    Ministers of ‘the Black Art’: the engagement of British clergy with photography, 1839-1914 Submitted by James Downs to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English in March 2018 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature: ………………………………………………………….. Abstract 1 Ministers of ‘the Black Art’: the engagement of British clergy with photography, 1839- 1914 This thesis examines the work of ordained clergymen, of all denominations, who were active photographers between 1839 and the beginning of World War One: its primary aim is to investigate the extent to which a relationship existed between the religious culture of the individual clergyman and the nature of his photographic activities. Ministers of ‘the Black Art’ makes a significant intervention in the study of the history of photography by addressing a major weakness in existing work. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, the research draws on a wide range of primary and secondary sources such as printed books, sermons, religious pamphlets, parish and missionary newsletters, manuscript diaries, correspondence, notebooks, biographies and works of church history, as well as visual materials including original glass plate negatives, paper prints and lantern slides held in archival collections, postcards, camera catalogues, photographic ephemera and photographically-illustrated books.

    SCOTTISH CALVINISM: A DARK, REPRESSIVE FORCE? 00NALD MACLEOD, PRINCIPAL, FREE CHURCH COLLEGE, EDINBURGH INTRODUCTION 'Scottish Calvinism has been a dark, repressive force.' The thesis is a common one; almost, indeed, an axiom. Few seem to realise, however, that the thesis cannot be true without its corollary: the Scots are a repressed people, lacking the confidence to express themselves and living in fear of their sixteenth-century Super Ego. The corollary, in turn, immediately faces a paradox. Scotland has never been frightened to criticise Calvinism. This is particularly true of our national literature. John Knox has been the object of relentless opprobrium, the Covenanters have been pilloried as epitomes of bigotry and intolerance, Thomas Boston portrayed as a moron, the Seceders as kill­ joys and Wee Frees as antinomian Thought Police. The phenomenon is unparalleled in the literature of any other part of the United Kingdom. There has been no comparable English assault on Anglicanism. Nor has there been a similar Irish critique of Catholicism. Scotland has been unique in the ferocity with which its literature has turned on its religion. The Kirk's brood may have been rebellious. They have certainly not been repressed. DETRACTORS The most influential detractor was, of course, Waiter Scott, whose heroic, well-rounded Cavaliers and Jacobites contrast vividly with his narrow, bigoted Presbyterians and Covenanters. But Scott was not the first. Robert Burns had already set the agenda. In Holy Willie 's Prayer, for example, he stereotypes and lampoons the 'typical' Calvinist elder, famed only for his polemical cant, tippling orthodoxy and blind hypocrisy. His God, Sends ane to heaven an' ten to hell A' for thy glory! And no for ony gude or ill they've done afore thee.
