At the beginning of the 19th century widespread criticism of alcohol gained ground in Britain and elsewhere. Those who advocated abstinence from drink, as well as some who campaigned for prohibition (banning the production, sale and consumption of alcohol) started to band together from the late 1820s onwards. This formal organisation of those opposed to alcohol was new. It was in response to a significant increase in consumption, which in Scotland almost trebled between 1822 and 1829. There were several reasons for this increase. Duty on spirits was lowered in 1822 from 7/- to 2/10d per gallon1 and a new flat tax and license fee system for distillers was introduced in 1823 in an effort to deal with illegal distilling. 2 Considerable numbers of private distillers went legal soon after. Production capacity for spirits was further increased by the introduction of a new, continuous distillation process.

  • The Church of St John the Evangelist, Edinburgh
    Decoration History The most notable feature is the 1816–1818 ceiling fan vault, Decoration & derived by William Burn from King Henry VII’s chapel in Westminster Abbey, and originally painted to look as if made of stone, although actually made of plaster and timber. Lighting scheme Likewise, the columns were also painted to look like stone, but are of cast iron, timber and plaster. From early on the walls were decorated with fine marble and other monuments. In the 1860s, alterations by Peddie & Kinnear and others began the current scheme of decorative glass, which, along with the dark oak of the panelling, pews and the reredos, (removed in 1974), gradually changed the aesthetic of the decoration from airy to mysterious. The ceiling of the apse was painted with gilded ribs and blue sky. In the 1950s, in an attempt to brighten up the space, the interior was painted a light grey colour, and floodlights introduced into the vaulted ceiling. These lights were augmented by pendant fittings with opaque glass.

  • Model Scheme for the Establishment of Community Councils in Scotland
    MODEL SCHEME FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF COMMUNITY COUNCILS IN SCOTLAND 1. Introduction Community Councils were first established in Scotland following the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973. Thereafter, the Local Government etc. (Scotland) Act, 1994, which produced the current system of unitary local authorities, made provision for the continuation of community councils. Under the legislation, every local community in Scotland is entitled to petition their local authority to establish a community council in their area. The Model Scheme for Community Councils in Scotland is designed to enable the establishment of community councils across Scotland and to provide a common minimum basic framework governing their creation and operation. 2. Statutory Purposes The statutory purposes of the community councils established under the Model Scheme are set out in Section 51 (2) of the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973, as follows: - ‘’In addition to any other purpose which a community council may pursue, the general purpose of a community council shall be to ascertain, co-ordinate and express to the local authorities for its area, and to public authorities, the views of the community which it represents, in relation to matters for which those authorities are responsible, and to take such action in the interests of that community as appears to it to be expedient and practicable’’ 3. The Role and Responsibilities of Community Councils The general purpose of community councils is to act as a voice for their local area.
