  • 9 Decorative Pottery at Prestongrange
    9 Decorative Pottery at Prestongrange Jane Bonnar This analysis is complemented by the Prestoungrange Virtual Pottery Exhibition to be found on the Internet at http://www.prestoungrange.org PRESTOUNGRANGE UNIVERSITY PRESS http://www.prestoungrange.org FOREWORD This series of books has been specifically developed to provided an authoritative briefing to all who seek to enjoy the Industrial Heritage Museum at the old Prestongrange Colliery site. They are complemented by learning guides for educational leaders. All are available on the Internet at http://www.prestoungrange.org the Baron Court’s website. They have been sponsored by the Baron Court of Prestoungrange which my family and I re-established when I was granted access to the feudal barony in 1998. But the credit for the scholarship involved and their timeous appearance is entirely attributable to the skill with which Annette MacTavish and Jane Bonnar of the Industrial Heritage Museum service found the excellent authors involved and managed the series through from conception to benefit in use with educational groups. The Baron Court is delighted to be able to work with the Industrial Heritage Museum in this way. We thank the authors one and all for a job well done. It is one more practical contribution to the Museum’s role in helping its visitors to lead their lives today and tomorrow with a better understanding of the lives of those who went before us all. For better and for worse, we stand on their shoulders as we view and enjoy our lives today, and as we in turn craft the world of tomorrow for our children.

THE "SETON-GORDONS " Of the cadet branches of the family of Seton by- far the most Important, and the largest, is that which, only two generations after its emergence from the parent stem, dropped the patronymic and. assumed the surname of the heiress of Gordon. In so far as the history of Scotland is concerned, this family of "Seton-Gordons", i.e. the Gordons who originated from the Setons, was a more consistently im- portant factor in the affairs of State than the main line, from the early 15th Century onwards. To their undoubted success many factors contribu- ted. When Alexander de Seton, second son of Sir William de Seton, married in 1408 Elizabeth de Gordon he became through her, and her maternal relations, the .possessor of large properties. He found himself at once in the position of one of the great land owners in the North; and he and his successors were particularly skilful in "birsing yorifj;" their boundaries.

Scottish Water: supports the aims and objectives of the LDP and is committed to ensuring that adequate infrastructure is available to enable development in line with its responsibilities. Internal Consultees: ELC Countryside: Radical industrial developments are proposed which will affect quality of life dramatically. The two ideas for accommodating new house building will not serve the needs of the whole county well. Small housing developments throughout the county particularly providing affordable housing in areas such as Gullane and North Berwick need to go hand in hand with dramatic improvement on the whole counties' accessibility and in particular bus services. Ensure that the area’s significant international, national and local cultural and natural heritage assets are protected and conserved, and where appropriate enhanced, including biodiversity, flora and fauna as well as soil, water and air quality - importance of green networks as dictated by NPF3.

  • An Old Family; Or, the Setons of Scotland and America
    [U AN OLD FAMILY OR The Setons of Scotland and America BY MONSIGNOR SETON (MEMBER OF THE NEW YORK HISTORICAL SOCIETY) NEW YORK BRENTANOS 1899 Copyright, 1899, by ROBERT SETON, D. D. TO A DEAR AND HONORED KINSMAN Sir BRUCE-MAXWELL SETON of Abercorn, Baronet THIS RECORD OF SCOTTISH ANCESTORS AND AMERICAN COUSINS IS AFFECTIONATELY INSCRIBED BY THE AUTHOR Preface. The glories of our blood and state Are shadows, not substantial things. —Shirley. Gibbon says in his Autobiography: "A lively desire of knowing and recording our ancestors so generally prevails that it must depend on the influence of some common principle in the minds of men"; and I am strongly persuaded that a long line of distinguished and patriotic forefathers usually engenders a poiseful self-respect which is neither pride nor arrogance, nor a bit of medievalism, nor a superstition of dead ages. It is founded on the words of Scripture : Take care of a good name ; for this shall continue with thee more than a thousand treasures precious and great (Ecclesiasticus xli. 15). There is no civilized people, whether living under republi- can or monarchical institutions, but has some kind of aristoc- racy. It may take the form of birth, ot intellect, or of wealth; but it is there. Of these manifestations of inequality among men, the noblest is that of Mind, the most romantic that of Blood, the meanest that of Money. Therefore, while a man may have a decent regard for his lineage, he should avoid what- ever implies a contempt for others not so well born.

  • North Berwick Town Centre Strategy
    North Berwick Town Centre Strategy 2018 Supplementary Guidance to the East Lothian Local Development Plan 2018 1 NORTH BERWICK TOWN CENTRE STRATEGY 1.0 Purpose of the North Berwick Town Centre Strategy 1.1 The North Berwick Town Centre Strategy forms a part of the adopted East Lothian Local Plan 2018 (LDP). It is supplementary guidance focusing on the changes that the Local Development Plan is planning to the town of North Berwick and the implications of that change for the town centre. The LDP introduces new planning policies adopting the town centre first principle and has detailed planning polices for town centres to guide development. 1.2 The strategy looks in more detail than the LDP into the town centre. A health check of the town centre is provided, its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats are considered and its performance as a place with coordinated actions for improvement and regeneration. 1.3 In addition to the LDP and its supporting documents, the town centre strategy draws on the work done by the North Berwick Town Centre Charrette in 2015 and takes account of the Council’s emerging Local Transport Strategy as well as relevant parts of the North Berwick Coastal Area Partnership Area Plan. It is a material consideration in the determination of planning applications that affect the town centre. 2.0 Policy Context Local Development Plan Policy for Town Centres 2.1 The adopted East Lothian Local Development Plan 2018 (LDP) promotes the Town Centre First Principle which requires that uses that would attract significant footfall must consider locating to a town or local centre first and then, sequentially, to an edge of centre location, other commercial centre or out of centre location.

  • The Inventory of Historic Battlefields – Battle of Prestonpans Designation
    The Inventory of Historic Battlefields – Battle of Prestonpans The Inventory of Historic Battlefields is a list of nationally important battlefields in Scotland. A battlefield is of national importance if it makes a contribution to the understanding of the archaeology and history of the nation as a whole, or has the potential to do so, or holds a particularly significant place in the national consciousness. For a battlefield to be included in the Inventory, it must be considered to be of national importance either for its association with key historical events or figures; or for the physical remains and/or archaeological potential it contains; or for its landscape context. In addition, it must be possible to define the site on a modern map with a reasonable degree of accuracy. The aim of the Inventory is to raise awareness of the significance of these nationally important battlefield sites and to assist in their protection and management for the future. Inventory battlefields are a material consideration in the planning process. The Inventory is also a major resource for enhancing the understanding, appreciation and enjoyment of historic battlefields, for promoting education and stimulating further research, and for developing their potential as attractions for visitors.
