We started the year with the exciting new Nursery at Newfi eld opening. The Nursery is now housed in a fabulous refurbished Newfi eld with an outdoor garden. We welcomed the children into Year One, many who had been in our Nursery. They settled well and began their school career eagerly learning their phonic sounds and numbers. The children in Year Two were learning about Musselburgh, whereas the Year Three children stepped back in time to the Egyptian era. The Year Two children performed an amazing assembly about the Wise man and the Foolish Man, followed by the Year Three children in the summer term teaching the school about the Rainforest in their class assembly. Many topics were covered including the Seashore, Space and Noah’s Ark. The Nativities as always were wonderful, the singing and acting brilliant, bringing tears to many eyes! The children were lucky to experience many varied trips, and visits. Year Two visited Newhailes House. The Royal Observatory came to school to help the children in Year Three learn about Space. The Year Ones could be found writing numbers on the beach. They had trips to the Theatre to see Cinderella and a visiting theatre group came to school to perform Little Gentlemen and a piano duo, Duo B!z’art delighted their audience.

BECAUSE OF THE RISK OF MISHEARING AND THE DIFFICULTY IN SOME CASES OF IDENTIFYING INDIVIDUAL SPEAKERS, THE BBC CANNOT VOUCH FOR ITS COMPLETE ACCURACY. Lecture 2: Country Glasgow SUE LAWLEY: Hello and welcome to the second of this year’s Reith Lectures. Today we’re guests of the University of Glasgow, the fourth oldest university in the English speaking world. Founded in 1451, it predates by two and a half centuries the union of Scotland with England. It’s produced seven Nobel laureates, two UK prime ministers, and, more recently, Scotland’s First Minister Nicola Sturgeon. In the eighteenth century, Glasgow was a centre for the Scottish Enlightenment. In the nineteenth, trade gave it the title of Second City of the British Empire. Today, it’s a place abuzz with talk of independence and the role of Scotland as a nation on its own. Proud of its history, its learning and its people, it’s a good place to hear a lecture about the nature of identity. In his series Mistaken Identities, the philosopher Kwame Anthony Appiah is arguing that the subjects we rely on in order to try to define ourselves are often wrong or misleading. He began in London talking about religious identity. In forthcoming programmes he’ll be talking about race and about culture. But here, in Scotland, his subject couldn’t be more topical. It’s country. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the BBC’s Reith Lecturer 2016 Professor Anthony Appiah.

  • Former Fellows Biographical Index Part
    Former Fellows of The Royal Society of Edinburgh 1783 – 2002 Biographical Index Part Two ISBN 0 902198 84 X Published July 2006 © The Royal Society of Edinburgh 22-26 George Street, Edinburgh, EH2 2PQ BIOGRAPHICAL INDEX OF FORMER FELLOWS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF EDINBURGH 1783 – 2002 PART II K-Z C D Waterston and A Macmillan Shearer This is a print-out of the biographical index of over 4000 former Fellows of the Royal Society of Edinburgh as held on the Society’s computer system in October 2005. It lists former Fellows from the foundation of the Society in 1783 to October 2002. Most are deceased Fellows up to and including the list given in the RSE Directory 2003 (Session 2002-3) but some former Fellows who left the Society by resignation or were removed from the roll are still living. HISTORY OF THE PROJECT Information on the Fellowship has been kept by the Society in many ways – unpublished sources include Council and Committee Minutes, Card Indices, and correspondence; published sources such as Transactions, Proceedings, Year Books, Billets, Candidates Lists, etc. All have been examined by the compilers, who have found the Minutes, particularly Committee Minutes, to be of variable quality, and it is to be regretted that the Society’s holdings of published billets and candidates lists are incomplete. The late Professor Neil Campbell prepared from these sources a loose-leaf list of some 1500 Ordinary Fellows elected during the Society’s first hundred years. He listed name and forenames, title where applicable and national honours, profession or discipline, position held, some information on membership of the other societies, dates of birth, election to the Society and death or resignation from the Society and reference to a printed biography.

  • Dear Pupils, Parents, Guardians and Friends Our SQA
    Dollar Academy Newsletter October 2016 Dear Pupils, Parents, Guardians and Friends Our SQA examination results this year were very pleasing and our pupils and teachers deserve great credit for all their hard work. Given our very high A•grade rate, readers may be surprised to learn that more Advanced Highers were taken at Dollar Academy than at any other school in Scotland this year, bar one, reflecting our determination to encourage ambition and to ensure the best possible outcome for each individual pupil. A copy of Leavers’ Destinations over the last three years is linked here and I am sure you will agree that the results are remarkable. A Dollar education is, I hope, about much more than academic performance. It has been encouraging this term to receive some wonderful comments from members of the public on the qualities of Dollar pupils. A number of our youngsters seem to have been particularly adept at recovering lost dogs and helping pensioners find their possessions. One Form III boy even helped catch a police suspect and shortly afterwards a letter of thanks from Police Scotland arrived on my desk. Five Form VI pupils were invited to attend a conference with some of Scotland’s top business leaders: one wrote to me afterwards to say how inspiring the Dollar pupils had been and said he felt he could now sleep more soundly, knowing that the country’s future is in safe hands. Such feedback reflects well on Dollar’s ethos, but it is never wise to be complacent and recent assemblies in all parts of the school have focused on leadership and on values.

  • Piping and Drumming at Dollar Academy
    Piping and Drumming at Dollar Academy Our Piping & Drumming Programme Dollar Academy was founded over two hundred years ago in 1818, making it the oldest co-educational day and boarding school in the world. The Dollar Academy Pipe Band was then formed in 1912, with strong connections with the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders. Archived photos of the band in those early years show a small handful of pipers and drummers. Over the last 20 years, thanks to a tireless and inspirational leader (Mr Craig Stewart, Master i\c Pipe Band) and a school that pours wholehearted support into its pipe band programme, the Band has thrived. Today, over 200 pupils study piping or drumming at Dollar Academy. Four bands (Juvenile, Novice A, Novice B and the Pre-Novice Bands) work with six world-class instructors. Our Juvenile Band has held the Champion of Champions title four times in the last five years. The title Champion of Champions is bestowed upon a band that performs most consistently in all five ‘Majors’: the Scottish, British, UK, European and World Championships. Roughly 180 bands are eligible to compete at this level, putting Dollar’s unrivalled success into perspective. The Novice A Band has, likewise, been Champion of Champions for two years in a row and, in 2018, for the first time ever, the Juvenile Band Drumming Corps also won the Champion of Champions trophy. The Band regularly receives invitations to play at prestigious events in the UK and as far away as Germany, Japan, Switzerland, Jakarta and France. They perform for charitable functions and weddings; for local Highland Games, galas, youth festivals and military functions.

The school has been at the heart of Scotland’s educational development for the past 200 years. The current Rector, Mr David Knapman, has announced his retirement at the end of session 2018-2019, the school’s Bicentenary Year, following nine years of outstanding service. The post will provide excellent opportunities for a forward-thinking and visionary leader to continue to drive the school forward. 3 Appointment of Rector An Introduction to Dollar Academy Dollar Academy has been a co-educational day and boarding school since its foundation in 1818. It is fitting that, in its Bicentenary year, Dollar Academy is currently The Sunday Times Scottish Independent Secondary School of the Year. Dollar provides an exceptional all-round education to over 1,250 pupils aged 5-18. Our focus is on encouraging the individual talents and ambitions of every young person, in a positive and supportive environment that fosters the development of transferable skills, self-confidence and strong personal values. A belief in developing the whole person is central to the Dollar ethos. Our pupil numbers and academic results are at a record high. Last year, pupils in Form VI attained a remarkable pass rate of 96% at Advanced Higher, with 63% of these at A-grade.

  • Harviestoun Land to the South-East of Dollar
    WELCOME 01 Welcome Thank you for coming to this first public exhibition which shares our progress so far in developing proposals for the Harviestoun land to the south-east of Dollar. Our proposals will aim to build on the work carried out in Dollar by the community in 2012 and 2014 which resulted in the Dollar Community Plan and the Community Masterplan, and will lead onto a planning application for Planning Permission in Principle later this year. The planning application will include proposals for new housing, greenspace, and connections. We are also exploring ways of meeting other aspirations within the Community Masterplan and seek your input to develop these ideas further. We are at a very early stage in the design process. This first stage is all about learning and listening; these exhibition boards tell you what we have learnt so far about the site and the town. We have no proposals to show you yet. We want to hear what you think, and this will then help to inform how we progress our ideas. Later in the summer there will be a second stage consultation event where we will show you our draft proposals and you will have a further opportunity to help shape the plans. The Proposed Development Who Are We? Please Get Involved! Area This application is being funded by the Poett Family of The location of the proposed development area is shown Harviestoun Estate.

The Glasgow TCommonwealth Games was the starting gun that sounded Scotland’s stage-left appearance onto the world stage, with people from lands far and wide flocking to our nation to see what we had to offer, and they weren’t disappointed. For two weeks our country became an international hotspot – the perfect storm of contrasting cultures and integrating nationalities. Our city’s experience during this time can only truly be illustrated through one encounter I had during the Games: I was enjoying a nice walk through a particularly rainy Glasgow Green, before finding myself face-to-face with an athlete from the Malawian team: half- draped in his own country’s flag and clearly plied plenty with some of our country’s good whiskey, he was belting out “Scotland the Brave” at the top of his lungs, whilst also managing to take some selfies with the locals.
