That leg was completely free, but it was Scottish Parliament useless. It was never designed to be like that. Tuesday 2 October 2018 I speak today to those entrusted with enacting laws that set the boundaries of freedom in Scotland. However, if our laws and freedoms are [The Presiding Officer opened the meeting at to bring happiness to our nation, we need vision. 14:00] Vision is not something that you get after the pressing matters of the day are out of the way. Time for Reflection Vision never comes about by committee—and if the Scottish Parliament and the Church of The Presiding Officer (Ken Macintosh): Good Scotland have one thing in common, it may be afternoon. The first item of business is time for committees. Vision comes when a man or woman reflection. Our time for reflection leader is the Rev sees what could be. Ian MacDonald, who is the senior minister at Holy Trinity church in Edinburgh. I have served the people of Wester Hailes for 13 years. We have a vision of a time when loneliness, The Rev Ian MacDonald (Holy Trinity Church addiction and purposelessness are things that are of Scotland, Wester Hailes, Edinburgh): Thank spoken of only in the past tense. It is a vision that I you for this opportunity to address you today. As believe that local churches in local communities you may know, one of the duties and, indeed, are ideally placed to provide the answer to. privileges of the Christian faith is to pray for the leaders and those in authority. I want to assure If I or the community that I serve lack vision, you that the Kirk prays for you regularly before the there is an ancient prayer that is available to all— god and father of our Lord Jesus Christ. I might even to members of this Parliament. Someone add that we pray for you, not against you, despite turned it into a timeless hymn. It simply says, “Be what somebody might have told you. Thank you Thou My Vision”. for your hard work and your service, particularly Thanks for listening. whenever you have demonstrated compassion for the poorest in our communities. I will start with a question. What do the sewing machine, insulin treatment for diabetics and the double helix structure of DNA have in common? The answer is that it is claimed that they were all revealed by dream or vision. Vision is something that is important for the people of Scotland today. The Bible says: “Where there is no vision the people cast off restraint, but happy are they that keep the law.” I believe that there is a lawgiver—a reason for the inexplicable fact that everything in the observable universe of vast solar systems and myriad galaxies, and of the minutest quarks and gluons, follows laws. Christians believe that God has revealed himself as lawgiver not only in the world around us but also in scripture and is therefore the one to whom we must give account. Those laws, on which our justice system is based, are boundaries that protect us, and, applied in love, they add to the happiness

Scottish Executive Barry Winetrobe 1.1 Collective responsibility The application of the doctrine of collective responsibility has been under the spotlight in the Glasgow hospitals issue. The Culture Minister, Mike Watson, has been a leading public opponent of the reorganisation plan, but voted with the Executive in a debate on the issue on 12 September. His MPA, Janis Hughes, put herself in an even more unusual position, by abstaining on the Executive amendment to the critical SNP motion, but then voting for the as-amended motion. The First Minister refused to sack either, on the basis that they had both adhered to collective responsibility by their votes.

  • Thomas Carlyle and Juniper Green
    www.junipergreen300.com Thomas Carlyle and Juniper Green Thomas Carlyle by Walter Greaves about 1879. Thomas Carlyle, 1795 - 1881. Historian and essayist A giant of nineteenth-century thought, Thomas Carlyle was the son of a stone- mason and was born in Ecclefechan, Dumfriesshire. After graduating from Edinburgh University, he began to produce the articles, translations, essays and histories which were to make him world-famous. Carlyle and his gifted wife Jane lived in London, and their home in Cheyne Walk, Chelsea, became a place of pilgrimage for intellectuals from all over Europe. Greaves was a neighbour and made the studies for this portrait while Carlyle was sitting for James McNeil Whistler. National Portrait Gallery of Scotland. There has long been a tradition in Juniper Green that Thomas Carlyle, that eminent Victorian, spent some time in the village not long after his marriage to Jane Welsh. Thomas Carlyle was born on the 4th December, 1795, at Ecclefechan, Dumfriesshire the second son of James Carlyle, and the eldest child of his second marriage. Thomas and Jane Carlyle married on October 17th, 1826 at Templand, Thornhill, in Dumfriesshire and moved to Comely Page 1 Bank, Edinburgh, their first home, on the same day. It follows that any sojourn by Carlyle in Juniper Green must have been in the late 1820s. The earliest mention of this tradition so far found is in ‘Old and New Edinburgh’ by James Grant Vol. III Chapter XXXVIII p. 323 where it states: “Near Woodhall in the parish of Colinton, is the little modern village of Juniper Green, chiefly celebrated as being the temporary residence of Thomas Carlyle some time after his marriage at Comely Bank, Stockbridge where, as he tells us in his “Reminiscences” (edited by Mr Froude), “his first experience in the difficult task of housekeeping began”.
