  • Newsletter No.6
    Newsletter No.6 Stuart McMillan MSP Greenock and Inverclyde Constituency Serving Port Glasgow, Greenock, Gourock, Wemyss Bay and Inverkip Hello and welcome to my latest newsletter. It has been a very eventful few months with both the Council elections and the recent General Election. The rules of Purdah mean that I have had to refrain from sending out my monthly newsletter as normal. First of all, I’d like to congratulate Ronnie Cowan on his successful re-election as MP for Inverclyde. Ronnie has been a hard working MP and has set off on a project to help deliver social and economic opportunities locally. This is a project that I am sure he can complete with another 5 years at the helm. I look forward to working with him to ensure that happens. I would also like to congratulate all of our recently elected councillors, including those who are new to their prospective roles. I look forward to working with them all over the coming years. I was delighted to pledge my support for the Women Against State Pension Inequality (WASPI) Campaign. The Scottish Government have campaigned tirelessly for a better deal for our older people – including by supporting the excellent WASPI campaign. In the Scottish Parliament, we have protected and invested in vital social policies like free personal care for the elderly and will protect the Winter Fuel Payment. The Scottish Government will continue to fully support the WASPI campaign in their efforts to secure fairness for the millions of women affected. Health Secretary Confirms No Cuts to ITU at IRH The Greenock Telegraph recently reported that employees and consultants have been informally told that the Intensive Treatment Unit (ITU) which caters for patients at the IRH who need intensive treatment after an operation, will close in January.

  • Lexicon of Inverclyde's Artists 1800-1939
    Lexicon of Inverclyde’s Artists 1800-1939 This document is intended to provide an overview of artists connected to Inverclyde who were working in the period 1800-1939. It includes artists who worked in the Inverclyde area as well as those who were born in the area but who have made their career elsewhere. Inverclyde, in addition to producing many professional artists, has also been home to many amateur artists who exhibited occasionally at professional venues. They have also been included. Inevitably the surviving documentation provides less evidence for the lives and careers for these amateur artists but sources such as the census and local street directories have helped to provide some details of their background. A Anderson, Nina (active 1886-1938) Miss Nina Anderson was a painter of landscapes, flower pieces and portraits. She lived at 35 Fox Street, Greenock and in Edinburgh. She is known to have exhibited at the Royal Scottish Academy in 1889 and also at the Glasgow Institute and at the Greenock Art Club exhibitions. Two paintings by her: A Fishwife and Seascape with Rocks are in the collection of North Tyneside Council, and were painted in 1905. Anderson, T.M. (active 1886-1903) T.M. Anderson was an amateur Gourock based artist who lived at Berry Bank, Ashton between 1886 and at 47 Ashton Road, Gourock between 1902 and 1903. Anderson, William (active 1884-1886) It seems likely that William Anderson was a relation of the T.M. Anderson listed above as he is also recorded as living at Berry Bank, Ashton Gourock between 1884 and 1886.

The Glasgow TCommonwealth Games was the starting gun that sounded Scotland’s stage-left appearance onto the world stage, with people from lands far and wide flocking to our nation to see what we had to offer, and they weren’t disappointed. For two weeks our country became an international hotspot – the perfect storm of contrasting cultures and integrating nationalities. Our city’s experience during this time can only truly be illustrated through one encounter I had during the Games: I was enjoying a nice walk through a particularly rainy Glasgow Green, before finding myself face-to-face with an athlete from the Malawian team: half- draped in his own country’s flag and clearly plied plenty with some of our country’s good whiskey, he was belting out “Scotland the Brave” at the top of his lungs, whilst also managing to take some selfies with the locals.

  • Former Fellows Biographical Index Part
    Former Fellows of The Royal Society of Edinburgh 1783 – 2002 Biographical Index Part One ISBN 0 902 198 84 X Published July 2006 © The Royal Society of Edinburgh 22-26 George Street, Edinburgh, EH2 2PQ BIOGRAPHICAL INDEX OF FORMER FELLOWS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF EDINBURGH 1783 – 2002 PART I A-J C D Waterston and A Macmillan Shearer This is a print-out of the biographical index of over 4000 former Fellows of the Royal Society of Edinburgh as held on the Society’s computer system in October 2005. It lists former Fellows from the foundation of the Society in 1783 to October 2002. Most are deceased Fellows up to and including the list given in the RSE Directory 2003 (Session 2002-3) but some former Fellows who left the Society by resignation or were removed from the roll are still living. HISTORY OF THE PROJECT Information on the Fellowship has been kept by the Society in many ways – unpublished sources include Council and Committee Minutes, Card Indices, and correspondence; published sources such as Transactions, Proceedings, Year Books, Billets, Candidates Lists, etc. All have been examined by the compilers, who have found the Minutes, particularly Committee Minutes, to be of variable quality, and it is to be regretted that the Society’s holdings of published billets and candidates lists are incomplete. The late Professor Neil Campbell prepared from these sources a loose-leaf list of some 1500 Ordinary Fellows elected during the Society’s first hundred years. He listed name and forenames, title where applicable and national honours, profession or discipline, position held, some information on membership of the other societies, dates of birth, election to the Society and death or resignation from the Society and reference to a printed biography.
