Currently, my family and I have been relocated to Singapore and upon trying to exchange Scottish pounds for Singapore dollars I was informed that Scottish pounds were not accepted. After discussing with fellow Scottish expats I was informed this is the situation in Singapore. I knew this happened in England too, which raises the point, can anything be done about this? As a passionate Scottish person I just find this discriminatory and unacceptable. I really hope this can be rectified in my lifetime. I look forward to hearing from you.

  • August 2018 Newsletter
    NEWSLETTER August 2018 All Saints’ is a Registered Scottish charity No. SC013161 IN THIS EDITION Dear reader Before you progress further, high praise and hearty thanks are due to Ann Loades and Eileen Reynolds for all their work over the past years editing and producing the Newsletter. They are taking a well-deserved rest. You may recall that recent legal requirements for data protection have required us to have documentary evidence of people requesting the Newsletter. This change has sadly blunted some of Ann and Eileen’s creative effort in forming a database to help keep us in touch with our dispersed community. While we’re very grateful for those who have already given their consent, we hope that those who have yet to do so will use the enclosed form, printed at the back of the Newsletter on page 23. However, after this edition, we regret that we will not be able to send you the newsletter until you contact us requesting it in some written form. Meanwhile, it has been a very busy summer. During July, many in the town celebrated the 700th anniversary of the consecration of the Cathedral of St Andrew with various events in the ruins and elsewhere. On returning from one of these I read a letter from Stephen Gethins MP about an Early Day Motion that he had sponsored, which read as follows: That this House notes that 5 July 2018 will mark the 700th anniversary of the consecration of St Andrews Cathedral that took place after 150 years of construction; considers the important role that the Cathedral has played in Scotland's history with the consecration coming just four years after the battle of Bannockburn and the Cathedral continuing to play an important role until its destruction during the Reformation; welcomes the programme of events that are taking place to mark the 700th anniversary in St Andrews; encourages visitors to come and visit St Andrews and the Cathedral during this historic year; and further welcomes the important role that churches in St Andrews and indeed all faith groups continue to play in local communities.

  • General Election 2019: Target Seats
    Dods Monitoring: General Election 2019 General Election 2019 General Election 2019: Target Seats 11th November 2019 Dods Monitoring: General Election 2019 Overview Irrespective of Boris Johnson’s position in the polls, if the Conservatives wish to return to Government with a working majority, they will need to retain seats as well gain them. It is expected that the party will lose seats in remain constituencies to the Liberal Democrats, as well as leave constituencies if the Brexit party stand and divide the votes. With memories of the 2017 General Election still present in the mind of all parties, the pressure is on. Seats across Scotland, the North and London are at risk and whilst Johnson appears to be soaring ahead, these are areas he needs to retain if he wishes to return to Parliament with a strong majority. Nigel Farage, the leader of the Brexit Party, has confirmed that the party will only stand candidates in seats the Conservative party failed to win in 2017. This move marks a change of heart for Farage, who had said previously that he would only enter an electoral pact if the Conservatives dropped their Brexit deal. The decision is likely to help the Conservatives keep seats which they currently hold and will place pres- sure on leave-voting Labour seats, of which it is estimated is 59 out of their top 100 target seats. Target seats have always played a vital role in General Elections; however, the pressure is ever mounting after the result of the 2017 General Election which left Labour 64 seats short of an overall majority and the Conservatives 29 seats away from a majority.

  • Press Release
    PRESS RELEASE No: 599/2017 Date: 9th October 2017 Gibraltar discusses Brexit and Health with Scotland Brexit and Health has so far dominated Gibraltar’s attendance at the conference of the Scottish National Party in Glasgow. The Deputy Chief Minister Dr Joseph Garcia, who is responsible for work related to Gibraltar’s departure from the European Union, took the opportunity to exchange views on this matter with Scotland’s External Relations Minister Fiona Hyslop MSP and Brexit Minister Michael Russell MSP. Health Minister Neil Costa and Medical Director Daniel Cassaglia were able to have preliminary discussions with Scottish Health Minister Shona Robison MSP in order to examine the scope for greater cooperation in the area of Health and Care between Gibraltar and Scotland. They also met Stephen Gethins MP, who shadows International Relations and Europe, at Westminster where the SNP are the third largest party. There were also separate meetings with Joanna Cherry MP, who leads on Justice and Home Affairs, and Alasdair Allan MSP, who is the Minister for Europe of the Scottish Government. Dr Garcia said that there was considerable interest in the Brexit work that Gibraltar was doing and added that it was important for Scotland and Gibraltar to learn more about each other’s experiences as this process unfolded. “Neither Gibraltar nor Scotland voted to leave the European Union which makes it all the more important to exchange views and better understand our different priorities,” he said.
