  • The Golfer's Annual for 1869-70
    ONE ILLIKG AND SIXPEN : No. G-/PO2.. * « GOLFER'S ANNUAL FOR 18.69-70. COMPILED AMD EDITED BY CHARLES MACARTHFR. AYE: TROTTED AND PUBLTSIIED BY HENRY & GRANT. 16 PKEFACE. GOLF, the National Game of Scotland, and one of the most enticing of out-door exercises, is now so extensively indulged in as to deserve, at least, some statistical publication. A few years ago a work similar1 to this was published, but was not continued. Since then the practice of the Game has rapidly extended; and many solicitations having recently boon made to the Editor to bring out a GOLFER'S ANNUAL, his love for the Game, and his desire to gratify Golfers and others, induced him to undertake the work. The ANNUAL contains much interesting matter, such as a record of all the Golf Clubs at present known, with their respective. Competitions and Tournaments during the last three years, the llules of the Game observed by different Clubs, as well as other incidents; and the details of tho Competitions for the Champion Belt since its institution by the Prestwick Golf Club have been deemed of sufficient importance to entitle them to consider- able space. While imperfections may be apparent, it. is hoped that, though not claimed on its merits, the object of the ANNUAL will secure it a passport for this year, and that sufficient encouragement will be j^'ven for the appearance of its suc- cessor. The thanks of the. Editor avo due, and are now warmly tendered, to the Secretaries of the different Clubs, and others, who so readily furnished information in aid of his efforts.' 1JRUNTON C'OTTAGK, LONDON ROAD, EDINBURGH, Fubfuaiu, 1S70.

  • The Tullo Alias Tulloch Family in Dundee, Liff and Tealing 1650-1960
    The Tullo alias Tulloch family in Dundee, Liff and Tealing 1650-1960 The old doocot at Mains of Tealing by Dr David Horsburgh (2019) The Tullo alias Tulloch Family During the 17th century a family by the name of Tullo emerged in several places in and around the Dundee area. The surname Tullo was rendered in a number of variant spellings as Tollo, Tullou, Tullow, etc, and by the pet forms Tolly and Tully. It was often equated with Tulloch, the form which eventually became dominant, and was occasionally confounded with Pattullo(ck) too. The family in the present account first appeared in the parish records of Liff during the mid- 17th century and were largely tailors by profession, some of whom were entered freemen of the tailor trade of the neighbouring burgh of Dundee. One of these, James Tullo, moved from Liff to Tealing about 1672 and the family were based there until the 1720‟s when they came into the Hilltown where they had purchased some roods of land. Another, James Tullo in Craigie, became the ancestor of several hat makers who ran businesses and held property in Dundee during the 19th and early 20th centuries. His notable descendants include John Laurie Tulloch (1819-1898) a bailie and councillor of Dundee, Dr James Kinnison Tulloch (1851- 1924) who was chief medical officer to Dundee Parochial Board and an early photographic enthusiast, and Professor William John Tulloch (1887-1966) who held the first chair of Bacteriology at University College, Dundee during the years 1921-1962. There are also a number of other Dundee-based families descended from the Tullos for whom research is ongoing and who are indicated in the following account.

    Planning Committee 10am, Monday 15 June 2015 Leith Conservation Area - Review of Conservation Area Character Appraisal Item number Report number Executive/routine Wards Forth, Leith, Leith Walk and Craigentinny/Duddingston Executive summary This report seeks approval of the revised Leith Conservation Area Character Appraisal, in draft, for consultation. This has been developed in the new style of appraisal. The content has been updated to reflect changing issues in the area and to produce a more user-friendly format. Links Coalition pledges P40 Council outcomes CO19 Single Outcome Agreement SO4 Report Leith Conservation Area - Review of Conservation Area Character Appraisal Recommendations 1.1 It is recommended that the Committee approves the attached revised Leith Conservation Area Character Appraisal, in draft, for public consultation. Background 2.1 On 3 October 2013, the Planning Committee approved a programme of review of Edinburgh’s conservation areas. Leith was not assessed as one of the initial six priority areas, but was added as a priority due to the boundary changes following from the designation of the Pilrig Conservation Area. Main report 3.1 The revised Conservation Area Character Appraisal is intended to reflect changes that have occurred in Leith since the previous appraisal was published in 1998, to be more focused on the analysis of character and townscape, and targeted at guiding decisions more clearly. 3.2 To better reflect the active role of the appraisal in guiding decisions, a management section has been introduced which summarises the controls and policies which apply in the area and identifies a series of pressures and sensitivities, with recommendations made to address each type.

I dedicate this compilation to the spirit of freedom, civil and ecclesiastical, born in the sturdy, courageous Scots, who, like the "eagles of their craigs," were keen- sighted, strong and fearless. The spirit of democracy which at that distant time protested against autocracy of church and state, having the courage of its convic- tion, tried to find freedom in Ireland, and later found it in the United States. Many of these men as "younger sons" left home, friends and comforts to stand for what is shaking the whole world today (a hundred and fifty years later) to its foundation. Here this strong offspring of liberty today stands ready to help the Old World take its stand for the same r great principle—like David, having not the armor of Saul, but coming in the name of the Lord God of Israel, not to kill, but to protect the great brotherhood of man. PREFACE. I have never worshiped ancestors and think the old saying is often true: "Ancestry is like the potato—the best part under the ground." I am too democratic to wish to tack on to royalty, except royalty of character.

Interposed between Scotland, 1660–1750 the decline of the Scottish castle and its revival as Scotch Baronial architecture, proto- Enlightenment Scotland straddled the age of ‘Glorious Revolution’ and union with England. This beautifully illustrated book documents the architectural needs and developments of a transformational period in Scottish history as the country emerged from a decade of military occupation. It draws on a wealth of primary sources, including family, institutional and national archives in Scotland, England and France, to evidence the architectural ambitions of Scotland’s new elites in the ages of the last Stuart kings and of the new monarchies. It also analyses some of Scotland’s best-known architectural sites, as well as reference points from further afield including Parisian apartment blocks, Roman precedents and English parallels. Broad in scope, The Architecture of Scotland, 1660–1750 covers private and public/civic architecture, as well as the architecture and design of both the urban scene and country estate in the era before Edinburgh New Town.

REGISTER OF EDINBURGH APPRENTICES, i 666- i 700. EDITED BY CHARLES B. BOOG WATSON, F.S. Ant. Scot., F.R.S.E. ,C>' EDINBURGH: PRINTED FOR THE SQCIETY BY ]. SKINNER & COMPANY, LTD. 1929. cs INTRODUCTION. The Register of Apprentices for the City of Edinburgh, from 29th May 1583 to 30th May 1666, was edited by Francis J. Grant, W.S., now Lyon King of Arms, and was issued in 1906. The present volume carries on the work to the end of the year 1700, and owes much to its predecessor. There are no of the entries separate registers apprentices ; occur along with those of Burgesses and Guild-brethren in the scroll registers of the Dean of Guild Court, from which the Burgesses and Guild-brethren were carefully and legibly entered in their own register volumes, some of which still exist. Whether the entries of apprentices were so transferred I cannot say; if so the volumes have disappeared. The writing of those scrolls is execrable, utterly hasty and often almost illegible. The regular form of the entry can, of course, always be followed, and as a rule the christian and sur- names can be deciphered without much risk of error, but the local names are so badly written, and often so evidently a wild attempt at phonetic spelling, that even the experts, whose help I most gratefully acknowledge, have in some cases been forced to rest content with little more than conjecture.
