    Noteworthy Descendants of the Clan Grant

    Noteworthy Descendants of the Clan Grant Academia Isabel Frances Grant, MBE, LLD, was an author, historian, antiquarian, and founder of the Highland Folk Museum. Born in Edinburgh and educated in London, Dr. Grant was a descendant of the ancient family of Tullochgorm and the granddaughter of Field Marshal Sir Patrick Grant, GCB, GCMG. Dr. Grant wrote her first book, Everyday Life of an Old Highland Farm, in 1924. While traveling in Europe, she was influenced by the open air museum movement of the early 20th century. She started collecting items of Highland material culture and founded the Highland Folk Museum, called Am Fasgadh (The Shelter), firstly on the island of Iona, and later at Kingussie in Badenoch in 1944. Today, the museum is situated in Newtonmore. In recognition for her pioneering efforts, Miss Grant was awarded an Honorary Doctor of Laws from the University of Edinburgh in 1948 and elevated to the rank of MBE in 1959. Dr. Grant wrote a number of books during her long life, including The Lordship of the Isles (1935), Highland Folk Ways (1961), and Periods in Highland History (1987, published posthumously with Hugh Cheape, PhD). Dr. I.F. Grant died in 1983 at the age of 96. Robert Edmond Grant, MD, FRCPE, FRS (1793-1874) established the Grant Museum of Zoology and Comparative Anatomy at University College, London, in 1828. He was born in Edinburgh and studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh. Dr. Grant was the first professor of zoology and comparative anatomy in England and personally donated many of the specimens, dissection materials, diagrams and lecture notes that comprise the collections of the museum today.

    SC016580 Merchiston Castle School Updated Inquiry Report

    FILE NOTE: DATE: 17 November 2011 AUTHOR: OSCR SUBJECT: REPORT UNDER SECTION 33 OF THE CHARITIES AND TRUSTEE INVESTMENT (SCOTLAND) ACT 2005 ON INQUIRY: MERCHISTON CASTLE SCHOOL (SC016580) Background As part of the Rolling Review of charities the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR) undertook an inquiry into the charitable status of the Merchiston Castle School under section 28 of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 (‘the 2005 Act’). This involved a desk-based review of written materials in order to determine whether public benefit was provided by the charity. A face to face meeting was also held with the School to help gather this information. Consideration To have charitable status, bodies have to pass the ‘charity test’ as laid out in sections 7 - 8 of the 2005 Act. The charity test requires bodies to have exclusively charitable purposes, to provide public benefit in Scotland or elsewhere, and to meet certain other conditions. Section 7 (1) (b) of the 2005 Act, provides that a body meets the charity test if - • it provides (or in the case of an applicant, provides or intends to provide) public benefit in Scotland or elsewhere Section 8 (2) (b) of the 2005 Act requires that in determining whether a body provides or intends to provide public benefit in Scotland or elsewhere, regard must be had to – a) how any – (i) benefit gained or likely to be gained by members of the body or any other persons (other than as members of the public), and (ii) disbenefit incurred or likely to be incurred by the public, in consequence of the body exercising its functions compares with the benefit gained or likely to be gained by the public in that consequence, and b) where benefit is, or is likely to be, provided to a section of the public only, whether any condition on obtaining that benefit (including any charge or fee) is unduly restrictive.

INTRODUCTION The area covered by this Community profile has been determined by the area of benefit for the Lochelbank Windfarm Community Benefit Fund. It is defined by the boundary of the area represented by the community council of Glenfarg and lies within the Perth and Kinross Council area in Central Scotland. The area is delineated. GLENFARG The villages of Glenfarg and Duncrievie sit in the Ochill Hills 10 miles South of Perth City. Until 1890 the main settlement in the area was the hamlet of Damhead. In that year the North British Railway opened a line to Perth to coincide with the completion of the Forth Rail Bridge. Glenfarg Station was built to serve this upland area of the Parish of Arngask. The settlement that grew up around it became equally rapidly known as Glenfarg. Glenfarg thrived as a resort with up to four hotels at its peak. Some of the village's more prominent buildings reflect the wealth at that time including what used to be the Arngask Library, built in 1892, the Village Hall previously the village school and Arngask Parish Church built in 1906. The railway closed in 1964, part of its track then being used for the M90 motorway which now passes mere yards to the east of the edge of the village, but without any direct junction to the village.

We attracted a great team of teaching and support staff, sharing the drive and vision of the school’s founders to establish this new venture. Opening with 176 students across Junior and Senior Schools, we anticipate healthy growth in student numbers in 2019. We are now seeking to employ a Director of Business / CFO to join our team. We need a person with a ‘roll-your-sleeves-up-and-get-elbow-deep’ attitude to their work day as the school is established. Like the team already on board, the successful person will be a dynamic soul with a pioneering heart and a collaborative spirit looking for a challenge to add zest to their vocation. If you join us at MIS, you will be part of a special founding team. The Lonely Planet Guide calls Shenzhen one of “the most incredible Chinese cities you’ll never have heard of”. This megacity, a mere 17-minute train ride just across the border from Hong Kong, is New China at its finest and most frenetic. A sleepy fishing village only a few decades ago, Shenzhen has exploded. It is now the epicentre of Southern China’s entrepreneurial spirit, a place where the world’s manufacturing, technology and financial industries draw the young, hungry and innovative from all over. As a result it is also home to some of China’s most exciting up-and-coming contemporary artists and performers.
