  • 1 from 'Education in Aberdeenshire Before
    From ‘Education in Aberdeenshire before 1872 I Simpson, University of London 1947 For a long time after the reformation, many rural parishes lacked even a minister or reader not to speak of a schoolmaster. A Parliamentary Act of 1633 required the heritors of every parish to establish a school – many disregarded it. Further Act 1646 brought more pressure – still some evaded. Act of 1696 empowered Presbyteries in face of obstinate heritors to apply to Commissioners of Supply, who had power to establish a school and fix a salary of at least 100marks (?) 1598 In Methlick – At a visitation where officials of the parish kirk were examined no reference to a parish school or schoolmaster but “the catalogue off the eldaris and deaconis”. 3 names are prefixed by ‘Mr’, in those days always an academic, never a country title.

  • From Oil Wealth to Green Growth
    From oil wealth to green growth An empirical agent-based model of recession, migration and sustainable urban transition Jiaqi Ge1, Gary Polhill1, Tony Craig1, Nan Liu2 1 The James Hutton Institute 2 University of Aberdeen Abstract This paper develops an empirical, multi-layered and spatially-explicit agent-based model that explores sustainable pathways for Aberdeen City and surrounding area to transition from an oil- based economy to green growth. The model takes an integrated, complex system approach to urban systems and incorporates the interconnectedness between people, households, businesses, industries and neighbourhoods. We find that the oil price collapse could potentially lead to enduring regional decline and recession. With green growth, however, the crisis could be used as an opportunity to restructure the regional economy, reshape its neighbourhoods, and redefine its identity in the global economy. We find that the type of the green growth and the location of the new businesses will have profound ramifications for development outcomes, not only by directly creating businesses and employment opportunities in strategic areas, but also by redirecting households and service businesses to these areas. New residential and business centres emerge as a result of this process. Finally, we argue that industries, businesses and the labour market are essential components of a deeply integrated urban system. To understand urban transition, models should consider both household and industrial aspects. Highlights • An empirical, multi-layered

  • National Sample from the 1851 Census of Great Britain List of Sample Clusters
    NATIONAL SAMPLE FROM THE 1851 CENSUS OF GREAT BRITAIN LIST OF SAMPLE CLUSTERS The listing is arranged in four columns, and is listed in cluster code order, but other orderings are available. The first column gives the county code; this code corresponds with the county code used in the standardised version of the data. An index of the county codes forms Appendix 1 The second column gives the cluster type. These cluster types correspond with the stratification parameter used in sampling and have been listed in Background Paper II. Their definitions are as follows: 11 English category I 'Communities' under 2,000 population 12 Scottish category I 'Communities' under 2,000 population 21 Category IIA and VI 'Towns' and Municipal Boroughs 26 Category IIB Parliamentary Boroughs 31 Category III 'Large non-urban communities' 41 Category IV Residual 'non-urban' areas 51 Category VII Unallocable 'urban' areas 91 Category IX Institutions The third column gives the cluster code numbers. This corresponds to the computing data set name, except that in the computing data set names the code number is preceded by the letters PAR (e.g. PAR0601). The fourth column gives the name of the cluster community. It should be noted that, with the exception of clusters coded 11,12 and 91, the cluster unit is the enumeration district and not the whole community. Clusters coded 11 and 12, however, correspond to total 'communities' (see Background Paper II). Clusters coded 91 comprise twenty successive individuals in every thousand, from a list of all inmates of institutions concatenated into a continuous sampling frame; except that 'families' are not broken, and where the twenty individuals come from more than one institution, each institution forms a separate cluster.

The harbour was founded in 1136, and with a near-900 year history, is the oldest existing business in the UK. This document sets out our vision for the future of Aberdeen Harbour. It is an ambitious and transformational vision which articulates how we will continue to diversify our business and lead Scotland’s energy transition from oil and gas over the next 30 years to 2050 and beyond. There is an economic and environmental imperative in Scotland to diversify from North Sea oil and gas to meet the Scottish Government’s target of Net Zero Carbon by 2045. This shift to diversify our economy and reduce Scotland’s environmental footprint will require significant commitment, investment and collaboration between the public and private sectors and Aberdeen Harbour has a pivitol role to play.
