Xonoon GIBBINGS & COY., LTD., 18 Bury Street, w.c. 190 0. TO Sir KENNETH MATHESON, Bart. OF LOCHALSH, A WORTHY REPRESENTATIVE OF ONE OF THE MOST CAPABLE, BRAVE, AND STALWART OF HIGHLAND FAMILIES. PREFACE. The first edition of the late Mr Mackenzie's "History of the Mathesons" appeared in 1882, and the book has now been long out of print. Mr Mackenzie had a difficult task in writing this work, for though the Clan in the 14th century undoubtedly rivalled in position and power the neighbouring Mackenzies, yet through the action of the Macdonalds in the following century its unity was broken, and it became a " minor clan," with no charters, and with no references thereto in public documents. The individual history of the Northern Clans at best begins with the 15th century, but here Mr Mackenzie had only the clan traditions to avail himself of until the 17th century, when the minor clans all over the North come into the light of history from under the shadow of the larger clans and their chiefs.

    T:E1E .""'..,.. fre,e ~resl?~terian.'" ~aga3tne Ani MONTHLY RECORD. VOL. XXVI. SEPTEMBER, I92I. No. S. ~be J8ternaI 'Wlor~. o the thoughtful and attentive rell-der of the Gospel according T to John, there are two striking characteristics which!piesent t!}emselves-the one is the extraordinary simplicity :of the wording; a'nd the other, the extraordinary depth of the truth presented, in such simple language. The very simplicity of the latiguage,is,apt to make one lose sight of the S'e'cond characteristic, just as the clearness of a lake, permitting one to see to the depths, is apt to hide the very depth that is revealed by the' clearness. 'The opening verses of the Gospel begin with that august simplicity, 'that is maintained tnroughout the marvellou§l narrative of the sayings and doings of the Son of God-"'ln the beginning was th'e Word, and the Word was with God, and the 'Word was God." Yet-how unsearchableare the truths presented to us lin -language clothed in the very majesty of simplicity? Many attempts have been made by expositors to explain'the name by which thetbelov~d disciple designates the Lord of Glory: some of these have been very successful; while' others have only multiplied words without knowledge. The openirig words of the Gospel recall tHe opening words of Genesis; but, wbereas in Genesis,'" the beginning" is the first moment of time and creation, in the Gospel, John directs our thoughts beyond the beginning, and speaks, of that which "was" when time began. When God created the heavens and the earth, the Word "was.", This Word, which was in.

  • Local Studies Vol. 12: an T-Eilean Sgitheanach: Port Rìgh, an Srath
    Gàidhlig (Scottish Gaelic) Local Studies Vol. 12 : An t-Eilean Sgitheanach: Port Rìgh, An Srath & Slèite 2 nd Edition Gàidhlig (Scottish Gaelic) Local Studies 1 Vol. 12: An t-Eilean Sgitheanach: Port Rìgh, An Srath & Slèite (Isle of Skye: Portree, Strath & Sleat) Author: Kurt C. Duwe 2nd Edition April, 2006 Executive Summary This publication is part of a series dealing with local communities which were predominantly Gaelic- speaking at the end of the 19 th century. Based mainly (but not exclusively) on local population census information the reports strive to examine the state of the language through the ages from 1881 until to- day. The most relevant information is gathered comprehensively for the smallest geographical unit pos- sible and provided area by area – a very useful reference for people with interest in their own commu- nity. Furthermore the impact of recent developments in education (namely teaching in Gaelic medium and Gaelic as a second language) is analysed for primary school catchments. The Isle of Skye has been a Gaelic-speaking stronghold for centuries. After World War II decline set in especially in the main townships of Portree, Broadford and Kyleakin. However, in recent years a re- markable renaissance has taken place with a considerable success in Gaelic-medium education and of course the establishment and growth of the Gaelic further education college at Sabhal Mòr Ostaig on the Sleat peninsula. Foundations have now been laid for a successful regeneration of Gaelic in the south- eastern parts of the Isle of Skye. However, there is still much room for improvement especially in the pre-school sector and in a few locations like Raasay where Gaelic has shown a dramatic decline recently.

Whilst it is of paramount importance that all drinking water receives adequate disinfection, it is also expected that Scottish Water will take steps to minimise the impact of residual chlorine on the aesthetic acceptability of the water to consumers. Control of the disinfection process is also key to minimising the formation of disinfection by-products such as Trihalomethanes. This letter sets out a new water quality measurement, the Disinfection Index, designed to define the stability of the chlorine residual achieved in the water leaving a water treatment works, and to compare that stability with a predefined standard. The Disinfection Index will be used to determine success, or otherwise, of work carried out to improve disinfection during the Q & S 3 period. Background The chlorine residual in water leaving a water treatment works can be influenced by many factors. For example, seasonal changes in raw water quality, degree of treatment applied before disinfection, short-circuiting in the treated water storage reservoir, and even the accuracy of the analysis and recording of the residual, are among the factors influencing the stability shown by chlorine residual data.
