Midlothian Cemeteries, PDF 351.1 KB Download
MIDLOTHIAN COUNCIL ARCHIVES MIDLOTHIAN CEMETERIES COLLECTION 1834 – 1997 GB584/MC Name of creator Midlothian Council and predecessor authorities. Administrative history Like other areas of Scotland, Midlothian has a variety of burial places. Each parish had its own churchyard where burials took place. Until 1854, burials were recorded by the local Church of Scotland minister in the Parish Registers. By the mid- nineteenth century, many churchyards were full and burial had become a public health concern, especially following various outbreaks of disease. In the second half of the century, some existing burial places in Midlothian were extended or new, municipal cemeteries were opened. Responsibility for burial grounds, including churchyards, was placed on parish councils under the 1894 Local Government (Scotland) Act, and on the districts of county councils under the 1929 Local Government (Scotland) Act, then post-1975 district councils, and now, since 1996, unitary local authorities. Scope and content The principal interest in the collection is a series of lair books and cemetery registers that record individual burials in local cemeteries. In general, these are listed by date order, although some books have a surname index. The collection is not comprehensive and some local cemeteries and burial places are not covered. There are also some records of lair purchase and lair-holders. In addition, there is a series of cemetery maps and plans which show the location of sections and lairs. These are invaluable for locating an individual grave. There are also some minute books produced by cemetery committees recording the creation and maintenance of individual cemeteries. Acquisition history These records were acquired by Midlothian Council from its predecessor authorities.

Borders Railway Baseline Study Final Report Borders Railway Baseline Study Transport Scotland
transport.gov.scot Borders Railway Baseline Study Final Report Borders Railway Baseline Study Transport Scotland 2 Borders Railway Baseline Study Transport Scotland Transport Research Summary 2016 The Borders Railway re-opened on Sunday 6th September 2015. In line with Transport Scotland‟s best practice appraisal and monitoring / evaluation guidance, the impact of the new rail line will be evaluated. To inform this evaluation, this research aimed to develop a baseline of the travel behaviour patterns and the socio economic characteristics of the area prior to the re- opening of the line. Main Findings There was a high degree of awareness of the scheduled re-opening of the rail line amongst both residents and businesses in the Scottish Borders and Midlothian. Anticipated use of the rail line amongst residents in the Scottish Borders and Midlothian was also high, with 84% (n=2,826) of respondents in these areas anticipating that they would use the new railway in the first 12 months. Anticipated use amongst residents in Edinburgh, East Lothian and West Lothian was low for leisure and commuting purposes but relatively high for leisure travel, with 53% of respondents in Edinburgh, 48% in East Lothian and 42% in West Lothian stating that they anticipated using the service for leisure trips. Of those residents of the Scottish Borders and Midlothian who had moved to the area within the last 5 years, 15% stated that the re-opening of the line had been a main factor or one of a number of important factors in their decision to move to the area. In contrast, none of the businesses who had recently moved to the two local authority areas stated that the rail line had been a factor in their decision to relocate.

Introductory Guide to Midlothian Archives, PDF
Midlothian Council Archives An Introductory Guide Arrangement of this Guide You are probably familiar with the arrangement of a traditional library. All of the books on a particular subject are kept together in one place. Archives are arranged differently. They are arranged by collection or series to protect the original order of the records. Each section is given a unique identifying code (for example, Midlothian Burgh Council has the prefix MBC). This means that information on a particular subject may be located in more than one part of the archive. This guide has been organised by general themes which correspond to the way that the archive has been catalogued. There is some overlap between sections so it is worth checking between them. There is a glossary of unfamiliar terms and an index at the rear of the guide. Section Title Page 1 Local Authority Records 2 2 People, Family and Communities 9 3 Land and Estate Records 16 4 Business and Trade Records 17 5 Unions, Guilds and Associations 17 6 Politics and the State 18 7 Leisure and Recreation 18 8 Church and Philanthropy 19 Glossary 20 Index 21 Map of Midlothian Introduction Midlothian is the local government area to the south of Edinburgh.

An Exploratory Study of the Views of Stakeholders About the Role of Regulation in Social Care Service Provision in Scotland

Hosted on OpenAIR [online]. Available from: https://openair.rgu.ac.uk An exploratory study of the views of stakeholders about the role of regulation in social care service provision in Scotland. PRITCHARD, G.B. 2020 Copyright: the author and Robert Gordon University This document was downloaded from https://openair.rgu.ac.uk An exploratory study of the views of stakeholders about the role of regulation in social care service provision in Scotland Gillian Borthwick Pritchard DPP 2020 An exploratory study of the views of stakeholders about the role of regulation in social care service provision in Scotland Gillian Borthwick Pritchard A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the Robert Gordon University for the degree of Doctor of Professional Practice This research was carried out in collaboration with the Care Inspectorate July 2020 1 Abstract Performance management of social work and social care services, complemented by effective regulation, is viewed as key to improving delivery and providing public assurance about care quality, and the value of listening to stakeholders as contributors to the knowledge base has long been recognised. The evidence base as it relates to stakeholders’ experiences of regulation, however, has not been comprehensively explored. Many studies seek the views of stakeholders in the development of individual services, yet fewer studies seek their views in shaping regulatory methodology. The rationale for this research was to contribute to a knowledge base from evidence using an empirical approach and to contribute to better understanding of regulation from the perspectives of stakeholders.

Valuation rolls do not list residents of the property. Scope and Content: This collection of valuation rolls covers the historic counties of Edinburgh and Midlothian. The county boundaries changed over the time covered by these rolls and therefore coverage and format changed throughout the period.

25 January 2021
25 January 2021 Veterans Scotland Information Booklet Introduction This booklet includes details of the Armed Forces and Veterans Champions who have been established across Scotland to ensure that those who are serving and have served are not disadvantaged as a result of their service. It also brings together a wide range of help available to both the Armed Forces Community and those supporting them, the majority of which is available via the Internet. It lists some but not all of the organisations that provide support and advice to the Armed Forces Community. Additional information is available from the Veterans-Assist website. The Armed Forces Community consists of: 1. Serving personnel, including reservists. 2. Service Leavers; those who have served for more than 4 years in HM Armed Forces whether as a regular or a reservist. 3. Early Service Leavers; those who have served for more than one day but fewer than 4 years. 4. Families; consisting of spouse/ partner/ children of both serving personnel and veterans. 5. Veterans; those who served in HM Forces for more than one day. A common fact that applies to all members of the Armed Forces, irrelevant of service or branch is that at some point they will leave the Armed Forces. This will result in a period of transition for all personnel and their families. One of the aims of Veterans Scotland is to ensure that when this period is approaching that the service person and the family have all the relevant information, advice and guidance available to them that they may require to ensure that they have a successful transition back to civilian life.
