I’d like to make two points. Firstly, my family and I have always received an excellent service from the staff at Loch Leven Health Centre. Secondly, it is completely unacceptable for people to be making rude or offensive comments on social media. A big THANK YOU ! But there is another side to the story. I would like to thank the members of my I recall when I had cause to complain about an aspect of the Fitness Pilates classes, the ladies of Kinross 50 centre’s operation. I was met by a very unsympathetic Plus Keep Fit group and my therapy clients person, who listened to me in silence and without any who all so generously donated to and supported empathy, and answered by saying, in so many words – our Afternoon Tea event in the Masonic Hall on Tuesday 1 “ well, that’s what we do here.” To the best of my October in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support.

  • 1 1 Murder in Arcadia: Towards a Pastoral of Responsibility in Phil
    1 Murder in Arcadia: Towards a Pastoral of Responsibility in Phil Rickman’s Merrily Watkins Murder Mystery Series The phantasy, then, in which the detective story addict indulges, is the phantasy of being restored to the Garden of Eden, to a state of innocence where he may know love as love and not as the law. - W. H. Auden, “The Guilty VicaraGe” It is timely to ask what deployments and representations of nature tell us about humankind’s attitudes towards it. The appeal of the pastoral and/or ‘nature’ endures undeterred in popular fiction, suGGestinG that the cultural imaGination is reluctant to relinquish the solace or drama that these conventions and cateGories traditionally offer. This is especially the case in the crime Genre. It is true that there is currently a trend in British television drama that insists on the darker underbelly of small town, semi-rural communities, which foster in their midst a lonGstandinG corruption, and which the very nature of their rural isolation has at best allowed unchallenged. Such dramas as Broadchurch, Southcliffe and The Guilty (UK), or The Top of the Lake (New Zealand) do not necessarily depart from the formula by leaving the crime unsolved. In fact, in Southcliffe we are in no doubt from the start. But they leave the viewer with a stronG sense of the idyll permanently ruptured, of beinG, in fact, party to the corruption by believinG in the idyll in the first place. Dramas like these further suGgest that the solved crime is merely a symptom of an innate rottenness that cannot be comfortably contained or eradicated, that et in arcadia ego is always the case.

Introduction This does not mean, however that he was unaware of or uninterested in plants. It is clear that, though Natural History was not a major interest he had a sharp and informed eye for the natural world. The main focus of his interest was people – in all their variety, BACKGROUND eccentricity, vulnerability and resilience. It is not, therefore, As part of the development of Charles Causley’s house, surprising that the plants that attract his interest are not those Cyprus Well, Launceston it became clear that decisions of great gardens but those used by people down the ages for would need to be made about the future of the garden.

  • Kinross-Shire Through the Archive
    A Guide to the History and Culture of Kinross-shire through the Archive Perth & Kinross Council Archive 1 Foreword I am delighted that the Friends of the Archive are now able to publish the second of their planned area booklets, this time about Kinross-shire. Like the rest of Perth and Kinross the history of Kinross-shire, and the former Burgh of Kinross, is fascinating in many different ways. I hope this new booklet will allow everyone who is interested, be they residents of Kinross-shire or not, to explore that history in meaningful ways. In the booklet 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. Personally I am much taken by the selection of illustrations of all aspects of life in Kinross-shire. 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. On page 6 there is a brief but comprehensive description of the types of records which are available and how they can be used to facilitate information searches of all kinds. If anyone is looking for particular information I would encourage them to read this section first.
