THE BACKGROUND The Royal National Mòd Future Threats The Royal National Mòd An Comunn Gaidhealach was established in 1891. A year later, it organised the first National Mòd which was held in Oban in1892. Since then, the event has been held in every year except the World War years. This is a remarkable achievement, especially when one takes account of the Charitable Trust status of An Comunn Gaidhealach. Nowadays the executive work in organising and staging the Royal National Mòd is the responsibility of its small team under the leadership of its Chief Executive. Such has been the success of An Comunn in recent times that it is easy to believe that it will inevitably go on forever. This may prove to be the case but it is not a cause for complacency. The Mòd needs the support of others if it is to survive and prosper. These observations are not made in any judgemental way: they are simply facts that have to be taken into account in making evaluations of any kind and - more importantly - in charting a way forward for a fragile organisation which does not have huge financial reserves to call upon – and the Mòd is an event that takes both time and money to organise.

    Scottsih Newspapers Have a Long Hisotry Fof Involvement With

    68th IFLA Council and General Conference August 18-24, 2002 Code Number: 051-127-E Division Number: V Professional Group: Newspapers RT Joint Meeting with: - Meeting Number: 127 Simultaneous Interpretation: - Scottish Newspapers and Scottish National Identity in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries I.G.C. Hutchison University of Stirling Stirling, UK Abstract: Scotland is distinctive within the United Kingdom newspaper industry both because more people read papers and also because Scots overwhelmingly prefer to read home-produced organs. The London ‘national’ press titles have never managed to penetrate and dominate in Scotland to the preponderant extent that they have achieved in provincial England and Wales. This is true both of the market for daily and for Sunday papers. There is also a flourishing Scottish local weekly sector, with proportionately more titles than in England and a very healthy circulation total. Some of the reasons for this difference may be ascribed to the higher levels of education obtaining in Scotland. But the more influential factor is that Scotland has retained distinctive institutions, despite being part of Great Britain for almost exactly three hundred years. The state church, the education system and the law have not been assimilated to any significant amount with their counterparts south of the border. In the nineteenth century in particular, religious disputes in Scotland generated a huge amount of interest. Sport in Scotlaand, too, is emphatically not the same as in England, whether in terms of organisation or in relative popularity. Additionally, the menu of major political issues in Scotland often has been and is quite divergent from England – for instance, the land question and self-government.

    Business Plan

    Business Plan Providing affordable homes and services to the people of Oban, Lorn and the Isles BUSINESS PLAN 2018 - 2022 Executive Summary This Business Plan sets out the vision for West Highland Housing for the 5-year period from April 2018 through to March 2022. The financial and appendix material from the Business Plan will be subject to an annual review and updating by the Board. However, unless there are significant changes in our strategic or operational environment that change the fundamental assumptions around which the plan is built then a full review will not begin until April 2022. Our mission is supported by five key Strategic Organisational Objectives that are in turn linked to Operational Action Plans which have been designed to ensure that the objectives are delivered. Over the life of this Business Plan, West Highland Housing, as part of the Link Group will benefit from the delivery of 300 new units in Dunbeg area. In addition to this ambitious development programme West Highland Housing will undertake their own small programme of development supporting some of our more rural communities. At the end of the programme we will grow our stock from 787 to 818 units and we will be managing 1,201 units. We will also act as factor to a further 150 customers. Whilst we will remain an active developer in the area, we will have an operational focus on providing our customers with excellent customer service looking to make improvements around how we engage and communicate with our customers and striving to increase opportunities to participate in our decision making processes.

  • Records of Species and Subspecies Recorded in Scotland on up to 20 Occasions

    Records of Species and Subspecies Recorded in Scotland on up to 20 Occasions

    Records of species and subspecies recorded in Scotland on up to 20 occasions In 1993 SOC Council delegated to The Scottish Birds Records Committee (SBRC) responsibility for maintaining the Scottish List (list of all species and subspecies of wild birds recorded in Scotland). In turn, SBRC appointed a subcommittee to carry out this function. Current members are Dave Clugston, Ron Forrester, Angus Hogg, Bob McGowan Chris McInerny and Roger Riddington. In 1996, Peter Gordon and David Clugston, on behalf of SBRC, produced a list of records of species recorded in Scotland on up to 5 occasions (Gordon & Clugston 1996). Subsequently, SBRC decided to expand this list to include all acceptable records of species recorded on up to 20 occasions, and to incorporate subspecies with a similar number of records (Andrews & Naylor 2002). The last occasion that a complete list of records appeared in print was in The Birds of Scotland, which included all records up until 2004 (Forrester et al. 2007). During the period from 2002 until 2013, amendments and updates to the list of records appeared regularly as part of SBRC’s Scottish List Subcommittee’s reports in Scottish Birds. Since 2014 these records have appear on the SOC’s website, a significant advantage being that the entire list of all records for such species can be viewed together (Forrester 2014). The Scottish List Subcommittee are now updating the list annually. The current update includes records from the British Birds Rarities Committee’s Report on rare birds in Great Britain in 2015 (Hudson 2016) and SBRC’s Report on rare birds in Scotland, 2015 (McGowan & McInerny 2017).
