  • CAUGHT in the HEADLINES Scottish Media Coverage of Scottish Gypsy Travellers
    CAUGHT IN THE HEADLINES Scottish media coverage of Scottish Gypsy Travellers Amnesty International FOREWORD SUMMARY Amnesty International is concerned at the wealth of evidence showing discrimination against Scottish Gypsy Travellers and the hostility and divisions between Scottish Gypsy Traveller and settled communities. We believe that both groups lose out from the current situation. Given the low level of meaningful engagement between the two communities, the media has an important role to play in how settled communities gather information and form opinions about Scottish Gypsy Travellers. Yet anyone taking a cursory interest in the issue will quickly become aware of mainly hostile press coverage. To get an overview of the situation, we commissioned a media clippings agency to identify all Scottish coverage relating to Scottish Gypsy Travellers over a Amnesty International in Scotland four-month period. We received 190 articles which we characterised according to whether each was considered positive, negative or neutral. We also noted the length of each article. Amnesty Scotland recognises the efforts of journalists in Scotland, and in particular of the National Union of Journalists, Through that analysis we found: in striving towards producing high quality reporting of ethnic minorities. • With 190 articles in Scotland over four months (or 120 days) there is an average of nearly 1.5 articles a day about Scottish Gypsy Travellers. Given that there is a very small population of However, our research into media reporting of Scottish Scottish Gypsy Travellers (c. 20,000 people or less than 0.5 per cent of the Scottish population)1 Gypsy Travellers found that a significant number of articles this group receives a disproportionate level of scrutiny.

  • What's in a Name?
    TROON OLD PARISH TALK THE MAGAZINE OF TROON OLD PARISH CHURCH Minister: Rev David Prentice-Hyers B.A., M.Div. TEL: 01292 313644 01292 313520 (Office) www.TROONOLD.ORG.UK No. 102 Summer 2017 What’s in a Name? At his birth, Finlay's name was upon our lips as easily as the name of a long beloved child. Our second child's name was not as forthcoming. We tossed around island names, Islay, Harris or Iona, such strong and lovely names, but we could not agree. In the pre-modern world names were thought to have power. To know a name was to have a measure of control over it. Now I certainly don't think that names have a magical power but there is internal power on naming something. My Grandmother's diagnosis of Alzheimers gave us a framework around which to understand the painful changes we saw in her quality of life. Naming the disease allowed us to address her needs and to differentiate those organic changes in personality from the woman we knew, loved and cherished. We had no power over the disease but we did have power over our response. In the last hours before his birth we decided upon the name Angus Carson Hyers. Angus is for the land of his birth, meaning "one" and "choice". Carson is a family name taken from Kit Carson Sherrett. Kit's father had worked for the famous Kit Carson of the Wild West. Saying our son's name aloud for the first time after his birth, I suspect that the innate and belly strong love we feel for this child latched onto his name and now we cannot think of him otherwise.

    AYRSHIRE MONOGRAPHS NO.25 The Street Names of Ayr Rob Close Published by Ayrshire Archaeological and Natural History Society First published 2001 Printed by The Cromwell Press Ltd, Trowbridge, Wiltshire Rob Close is the author of Ayrshire and Arran: An Illustrated Architectural Guide (1992), and is presently co-editor of Ayrshire Notes. He has also contributed articles to Scottish Local History, Scottish Brewing Archive and other journals. He lives near Drongan with his long-suffering partner, Joy. In 1995 he was one half of the Scottish Handicap Doubles Croquet Champions. Cover design by David McClure. 1SBN 0 9527445 9 7 THE STREET NAMES OF AYR 1 INTRODUCTION Names have an important role in our lives: names of people, names of places, and names of things. In an enclosed, small community, these names remain informal, but as the community grows, and as travel and movement become commoner, then more formalised names are required, names which will prevent confusion. Formal and informal names can exist alongside one another. During the course of preparing this book, I agreed to meet some friends on the road between ‘Nick’s place’ and ‘the quarry’: that we met successfully was due to the fact that we all recognised and understood these informal place names. However, to a different cohort of people, ‘Nick’s place’ is known as ‘the doctor’s house’, while had we been arranging this rendezvous with people unfamiliar with the area, we would have had to fall back upon more formal place names, names with a wider currency, names with ‘public’ approval, whether conferred by the local authority, the Post Office or the Ordnance Survey.
