" Indeed in this book is to be found all the information which the most inquiring person requires to know about the county. The matter is well arranged and there is a map. Such a book is a necessary part of the equipment of every office which does business with islands whose interests are so closely associated with those of Glasgow." —J]vening Times, Glasgow, 3rd August. " It is really a valuable little volume for the inhabitants of the County of Bute."— Largsand Millport Weekly News, 6th August. "The Bute County Directory is tlioroughly replete with Bute information and up- to-date."~Dunoon Observer, 6th August. An Arran Postmaster writes: —" I am much obliged for your courtesy in sending me the Bute County Directory, and the Coast Guide, but do not think it reasonable that I should have all the benefit of the information you have compiled with so much care and expense, entirely free of charge, so I take the liberty of enclosing postal order for Is 4d for cost and postage.

TW'K have again much pleasure in producing another ^^ edition of this popular Buteshire reference book, thoroughly overhauled and brought up to date. All the former sections are continued, and to locate them, and facilitate the search for information, the printing of each part on a different coloured paper is maintained. Our desire is to overlook no one, and with that view we respectfully solicit notices of alterations, or possible omissions, so that such may be rectified. This Directory is a more important work than many imagine. It is not only found at all times throughout the county, but also in the libraries of Glasgow, Edinburgh, London, Dublin, Cambridge Oxford, &c,, and in numerous business houses and agencies in busy centres, so we are anxious that nothing of benefit to Buteshire may be omitted, and that everything be up-to-date. Our best thanks are again given to those who have in any way helped this compilation for the public good. It takes a long and careful vigilance to secure and give effect to the continual changes, and prompt information and orders are, consequently, particularly acceptable and valuable.

These are the aims for managing local flood risk. The objectives have been grouped in three main ways: by reducing risk, avoiding increasing risk or accepting risk by maintaining current levels of management. Objectives Many organisations, such as Scottish Water and energy companies, actively maintain and manage their own assets including their risk from flooding. Where known, these actions are described here.

  • James Matthew Duncan : a Sketch for His Family
    T)' Digitized by the Internet Arcliive in 2015 littps://arcliive.org/details/b21777561 S2^ut.-uo>s . 9 /lU(y/^^^Cu*^^ AMES HaHHEWS JdNCAN, m.d., f.r.s., &o. H Sfeetcb FOR HIS FAMILY. " No good thing will He withhold from him who walks uprightly." " He most lives Who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best." Bailey. .AMES Matthews J|uncan, m.d., f.r.s., &c. GEEAT solemnity, akin to awe, steals over my mind on sitting down quietly to write of my beloved brother James. I would tread softly, as on holy ground, while tracing his path from the cradle to the grave. Many of my memories of the past are too sacredly personal to be shared with any one else. He himself said, " Our holiest and deepest feelings are never properly expressed, or are not expressed at all." So in what follows I shall try, reverently, simply, to give his history as much as possible, either in his own words or in those of friends who knew him well. His family, remembering him in his maturity, may wish to hear specially of his early years and of his surroundings in boyhood, for the child is father of the man. In his life Aberdeen, Edinburgh, London, were all links in the same priceless chain. Speaking of himself on a public occasion, my brother James said modestly, " We are certainly the creatures of circumstances to a great degree. In my case the great circumstances have been few. The chief and the first of these is good parents." His des- cription of them showed his consciousness that their influence rested as much on what they were in themselves as on what they inculcated.

My name is Kathi Kamleitner, I’m a writer and storyteller And I run the Scotland travel blog Watch Me See. After years of helping people from around the world plan their trips, this podcast is my way to help you connect with Scotland regardless of your travel plans. Each episode starts with a travel story about a location or an experience from my travels. Then I’ll tell you some of my top tips for visiting to inspire a future trip. Are you ready? Great, let’s travel to Scotland. _________________________________________________________________________ The first season of Wild for Scotland is all about the Scottish isles. Each week, we travel to a different island and spend some time exploring their nooks and crannies, history and landscapes. This week, I’m taking you with me to the Isle of Bute, an island in the Firth of Clyde not very far from Glasgow. Once a popular seaside resort and getaway from the busy city, Bute has somewhat become overshadowed by other, more famous Scottish islands. But one look at the Isle of Bute and everything it has to offer, makes clear that the island deserves a lot more stage time. My trip to Bute lies a few years back. I hiked the West Island Way, a 30-mile trail that takes in the island’s far corners from Balnakailly Bay in the north to Glencallum Bay in the south.
