  • Scottish Water: Glencorse WTW E:Letter 18
    Scottish Water: Glencorse WTW E:letter 19 Introduction It has been three months since the previous e:letter, in this intervening time the Glencorse project has made steady progress through the 2009 winter. At an elevation of approximately 650 feet above sea level, the weather by Penicuik this winter has been very fresh at times and also white with snow! Nonetheless, the landscape at Glencorse has been transformed by the construction work currently taking place. The project is highly visible from the surrounding area by the large tower cranes that are now visible above the skyline. Regular progress has been captured with photographs updated monthly on our project website (www.scottishwater.co.uk/glencorse). Work on the ground Significant progress has been made in constructing the Glencorse Water Treatment Works building. As of this week, we have started construction of our Clear Water Tank (treated water storage reservoir). This begins with a large earth moving phase whereby we will be digging a hole to accommodate the large concrete tank, which will then be buried after construction. A summary of some of our recent work at Glencorse is below: Completed Works Water mains diversions by the A702 completed as planned. Remaining overhead power lines at Glencorse removed as planned. Site offices and welfare units for workforce fully established. Tower cranes erected. Water Treatment Works (WTW) excavation completed. Civil construction (concrete) of WTW foundations complete. Ongoing/Planned Works Civil construction of WTW walls, tanks and channels Excavation of Clear Water Tank commences Export of excess subsoil commences Civil construction of foundations for Clear Water Tank to commence in early summer.

  • Covering Colinton, Longstone & Slateford]
    Edinburgh’s Great War Roll of Honour Colinton District Great War Roll of Honour: Restricted [Covering Colinton, Longstone & Slateford] This portion of the Edinburgh Great War Roll of Honour is part of a much larger work that will be published over a period of time. It should also be noted that this particular roll is also a restricted one of Great War casualties giving basic details of each casualty: Name, Rank, Battalion/Ship/Squadron, Regiment/Service, Number. Special awards. Cause and date of death. Age. Place commemorated or buried. Birthplace. District of Edinburgh’s Great War Roll of Honour name is recorded in. The reason this roll is presently restricted is that we would like to invite and give the greater community the opportunity to fill out the story of each casualty, even helping identify casualties that appear on local memorials that cannot be clearly identified or have some details missing. These latter casualties appear in red with some having question marks in the area that needs to be clarified. It is also worth noting at this point that the names of some casualties appear on more than one district. The larger Roll of Honour [RoH] will also include information about those who served and survived and again the hope is that the wider community will come forward and share the story of their ancestors’ who served in the Great War, whether a casualty or survivor. The larger RoH will contain information such as: Name. Rank, Battalion/Ship/Squadron, Regiment/Service. Born when and where? Parent’s names and address.

  • Inverleith Conservation Area Management Plan
    INVERLEITH CONSERVATION AREA MANAGEMENT PLAN 1 Introduction 1.1 Section 61 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Scotland) Act 1997 defines conservation areas as “areas of special architectural or historic interest, the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance” and places a duty on local planning authorities to formulate and publish proposals for the preservation and enhancement of these areas. The implications of conservation area status are detailed in the Section 6. 1.2 The Inverleith Conservation Area was designated in October 1977. The boundary was amended in March 1996 to exclude areas which no longer contributed to the character of the Conservation Area. Article 4 Directions were approved in 1996. A plan of the Area is attached to this Management Plan. 1.3 The Conservation Area is situated immediately to the north of the New Town Conservation Area, some 1.5 kilometres north of the City Centre. The Conservation Area covers an area of 232 hectares with a population of 5,187. It is bounded by Ferry Road to the north, the western boundary of Fettes College, the eastern boundary of Warriston Cemetery and Comely Bank/Glenogle Road to the south. The boundary includes Fettes College, Inverleith Park, the Royal Botanic Garden, Warriston Cemetery, Tanfield Hall and Stockbridge Colonies. 1.4 The historical and architectural importance of the Inverleith Conservation Area is reflected in the concentration of Statutorily Listed buildings in the area: there are 82 items, covering 745 individual addresses. 1.5 The Inverleith Conservation Area Character Appraisal, approved by the Planning Committee in August 2006, identified the following as essential character elements of the Conservation Area: • The high quality residential amenity.

Alan Riach The Whistler's Story Tragedy and the Enlightenment Imagination in The Heart ofMidlothian The Heart of Midlothian is generally considered Scott's most approach­ able novel. David Daiches tells us that "most critics consider [it to be] the best of Scott's works."J In his short but influential 1965 study, it is the only novel to which Thomas Crawford devotes an entire chapter, and in his 1982 revision of the same book, Crawford preserves the emphasis, citing the "extended criti­ cal debate" to which the novel has been subjected by Robin Mayhead, Dorothy van Ghent, Joan Pittock and David Craig.2 In Scottish Literature since 1707, Marshall Walker tellingly chooses The Heart ofMidlothian above any other of Scott's works for extended consideration before addressing the question of Scott's fluctuating appeal as a novelist, "then and now.,,3 When Ludovic Ken­ nedy inquired in 1969, he found that the Edinburgh City Library's nine copies of the work were all out.

  • Midlothian Cemeteries, PDF 351.1 KB Download
    MIDLOTHIAN COUNCIL ARCHIVES MIDLOTHIAN CEMETERIES COLLECTION 1834 – 1997 GB584/MC Name of creator Midlothian Council and predecessor authorities. Administrative history Like other areas of Scotland, Midlothian has a variety of burial places. Each parish had its own churchyard where burials took place. Until 1854, burials were recorded by the local Church of Scotland minister in the Parish Registers. By the mid- nineteenth century, many churchyards were full and burial had become a public health concern, especially following various outbreaks of disease. In the second half of the century, some existing burial places in Midlothian were extended or new, municipal cemeteries were opened. Responsibility for burial grounds, including churchyards, was placed on parish councils under the 1894 Local Government (Scotland) Act, and on the districts of county councils under the 1929 Local Government (Scotland) Act, then post-1975 district councils, and now, since 1996, unitary local authorities. Scope and content The principal interest in the collection is a series of lair books and cemetery registers that record individual burials in local cemeteries. In general, these are listed by date order, although some books have a surname index. The collection is not comprehensive and some local cemeteries and burial places are not covered. There are also some records of lair purchase and lair-holders. In addition, there is a series of cemetery maps and plans which show the location of sections and lairs. These are invaluable for locating an individual grave. There are also some minute books produced by cemetery committees recording the creation and maintenance of individual cemeteries. Acquisition history These records were acquired by Midlothian Council from its predecessor authorities.
