  • The Holy See
    The Holy See APOSTOLIC JOURNEY TO GREAT BRITAIN MEETING OF JOHN PAUL II WITH LEADERS OF CHRISTIAN CHURCHES Murrayfield Tuesday, 1 June 1982 “The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brethren” (Gal. 6, 18). 1. It is a joy to meet with you this morning and I am very appreciative of your courtesy in coming at this early hour. Yesterday, soon after my arrival in Scotland, I had the happiness of being greeted by the Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, the Right Reverend Professor John McIntyre. In this regard, I cannot fail to recall that first historic meeting in 1961 between the then Moderator, Dr Archibald Craig, and my own predecessor John XXIII; or the courtesy of Dr Peter Brodie during his Moderatorial year in attending, in 1978, both my own installation and that of John Paul I. I am aware too of the significance of last night’s happy venue, the precincts of the Assembly Hall itself, the seat of the Church of Scotland’s Supreme Court, and also the locus of that momentous meeting in 1910 of the World Missionary Conference which is generally regarded as marking the beginnin of the modern Ecumenical Movement. 2. It was in that same spirit of prayerful ecumenical endeavour that I also had the great pleasure last Saturday of meeting representatives of the Church of Scotland and the Episcopal Church in Scotland, together with other British church leaders. I am sure that you will agree with me that such meetings as this have an importance of their own; the very fact that they take place is a witness before the world that, despite the sad history of division between Christ’s followers, all of us who worship the one true God are desirous today of collaborating in the name of God and of working together for the promotion of the human values of which he is the true Author.

    Issue 30 The Grapevine November 2018 Blair Drummond Grapevine gratefully acknowledges United Auctions generosity in printing this and previous editions of this newsletter. Births Suzanne Kenny (daughter of Helen & Robin Kenny, Robertson Lane Farm) and Matthew Houcke are delighted to announce the birth of their daughter Eliana Iris Houcke on 22nd July, weighing in at 7lb 4 oz. Mother and baby both doing well. Proud parents Laura Killen, Mid Rossburn Farm and Joe Malcolm, Wester Coilechat Farm, Callander are happy to announce the safe arrival of Ross Hamilton Malcolm who was born on 9th August 2018 weighing 9lb 5oz. 1 Thornhill and Blair Drummond Community Council Road Traffic Issues At long last, the A873 on the stretch from Blair Drummond Smiddy to Boghall has been re-surfaced. Minor roads elsewhere in our area (in particular Kirk Lane) sit lower on the Council’s priority list and are still in a poorly patched condition. Speeding in the Blair Drummond area remains a concern for the CC, particularly the danger this poses to children having to cross roads or waiting at the roadside for school buses. An action sits with the Stirling Councillors for our ward, to investigate what can be done in the way of traffic calming measures and to ensure children’s safety. The CC will seek to work with the schools’ Parent Councils to file for action under Stirling Council’s “Safe Routes to School” initiative. Proposals to introduce a 20mph speed limit in Thornhill are being supported by both Stirling Council and the CC. Police Matters Residents are reminded that at this time of year there is a tendency for doorstep crime (bogus callers and rogue traders) to increase.

This was primarily due to its strategic importance as the northern gateway into the Hebrides to the west, and Caithness and Sutherland to the north. The power derived from the earldom’s strategic situation was enhanced by the status of its earls. From 1215 to 1372 the earldom was ruled by an uninterrupted MacTaggart comital dynasty which was able to capitalise on this longevity to establish itself as an indispensable authority in Scotland north of the Forth.

  • 14Th CONGRESS.] Enable Him to Form Such Register, He, for His Own
    1816.] REGISTER OF OFFICERS OF THE UNITED STATES. 307 JANUARYn 9, 1816. With every expedient of economy that I find possible, I am living at an expense which, at the end of two years from my arrival in this country, would more than absorb the whole salary for those two yeaLs, even with tile allow- ance for the outfit. A very few years' residence here must involve my own affairs beyond all power of redemption. Extracts of a letterfrom Mr. Adams to thte Secretary of State, dated JANUARY 4, 1816. It is very desirable that some general revision of the consular establishments should be made, and some regular system concerning them be sanctioned by law. For the port of London a provision for the compensation of the consul must be made, or the office must be given to some wealthy merchant established in the city, to whom it may be acceptable for the facilities of business which le may derive from it. Colonel Aspinwall cannot hold it long without a salary, or without forming a commercial establishment connected with it, and upon which alone he must rely for support. In one of his late letters to me, (a copy of which has been transmitted to you,) Mr. Beasley expresses the convic- tion that the provision made by the laws of the United States for the relief of indigent and destitute seamen in foreign ports is liable to great abuse. The late and present excessive numbers of persons claiming the benefit of it, both at London and Liverpool, afford confirmations of that opinion; but, on the other hand, it is obvious that, with the increase of our commerce and navigation, the casualties incident to them must have proportionably multiplied.

  • The Bass Rock
    The Bass Rock. OAviO J l««,oi~, AT lf<<.M fJXA\ ^^ fiSli - t —____ k« . CHAPTER I. GENERAL DESCRIPTION. HE rocky islands that dot the shores of the Forth have been picturesquely described by Sir Walter Scott in " Marmion " as " emeralds chased in gold." They have also been described as " bleak islets." Both these seemingly contradictory descriptions are true according as the sky is bright and sunny or, as so often happens in our northern climate, cloudy and1 overcast. Of these islands those known as the greater *' emeralds " are Inchkeith, Inchcolme, May Island, and the Bass. The lesser " emeralds " being Cramond, Inch- garvie, Fidra, Eyebroughty, and Craig Leith. Over nearly all these islands there clings a halo of romance and legend. With Inchkeith we associate a gallant chieftain, of the name of Keith, who in one of the« invasions of the Danes slew their leader, and received the island as a reward from a grateful King. 4 THE BASS ROCK. Inchcolme takes us back to the time of the Britons when the Druids are said to have here practised the mysteries of their religion. It was here, too, that David I., having sought refuge in a storm, was enter- tained by the hermit, and afterwards in gratitude founded a monastery, the ruins of which form at the present day a picturesque feature of the island. The May Island in early Christian times was dedi- cated to religious uses, and here a colony of monks under the saintly Adrian were massacred by the Danes. The beautifully shaped Fidra has also its historical associations, having had a monastic establishment in con- nection with the Abbey at North Berwick, and also a castle called Tarbert, which at one time belonged to the Lauders of the Bass.

Subsequently, in 1880, it was resolved by the Master Court of the day to print this list as well as the "Seal of Cause" and By-Laws; and the opportunity was taken of including in the print a brief record, under the title of "Historical Memoranda," of the more important events in the history of the Incorporation.
