Hugh MacLeod of MacLeod, of Dunvegan Castle, Skye, followed in his father’s footsteps when he kindly presented the Skye Mountain Rescue Team with a vehicle on behalf of St John Scotland. Hugh handed over the vehicle, for which St John had contributed £20,000, on 12th October 2012. His late father, John MacLeod of MacLeod, presented the team’s previous St John-funded vehicle on 6th October 2001, the same day as he opened the team’s base at Glenbrittle, for which he had generously donated the land. The happy recipient of the keys on both occasions was Gerry Akroyd, the Team Leader.

2 THE PRIOR’S MESSAGE

Each year, as I write my report for the Year Book, I am amazed by the amount that has been achieved and I must start by thanking all who play a part in St John Scotland for their marvellous contributions to the successes of 2014. Since my last report we have held two convocations at Polmont to which we have invited any Members of the Priory who wished to come to suggest and discuss how we might go forward. Presentations this year were given on Patient Transport, Emergency Care training and possibly a new Caring Caller scheme. We also debated ways to increase our membership, especially by attracting young people and we were treated to a fascinating report on the St John Eye Hospital in Jerusalem. These subjects, together Sir Malcolm with others, which are the result of our governance review, will be considered further as options for future development. Support for mountain rescue continues and we were one of the two main sponsors of the conference in Aviemore, which was attended by representatives of all Scotland’s mountain rescue teams. Many members of these teams visited our stand to express their thanks for the bases and vehicles which we have given them. We have also continued to support the works of Eye Hospital and health care in Malawi. Since my last report we have, in partnership with the Blood Transfusion Service in Scotland, held two ceremonies to recognise the men, women and children who have donated organs to enable others to live or enjoy an enhanced way of life. The first of these was in Edinburgh’s City Chambers and the second in the Royal Botanic Gardens in Edinburgh. We were overwhelmed by the numbers wishing to attend. Both events were very moving and I was humbled by the courage and dignity of the family members who came to recognise their loved ones. There is now a charming little Garden of Remembrance in the Royal Botanic Gardens to honour donors. We are working hard to raise the profile of St John Scotland with increased activity, such as Community First Responder Groups, corporate clothing available to volunteers and a much stronger press image. We are also considering a major national fund-raising initiative, possibly to provide another specialist ambulance, following the huge success of the neo-natal vehicle, which we donated, to NHS Scotland last year. I am indebted to Karen Carlton who has acted as interim General Manager in St John’s House during this year. Her contribution will reduce, to allow her to give more to her own business. We have welcomed Tom McFarlane as Business Manager and Alan Lees as Administrator respectively and we will adjust the responsibilities of our longest serving stalwart, Janet Knox, to take on the role of Area Liaison Officer. I have much enjoyed meeting many of you at our successful Festival in Edinburgh and at other events. Your commitment to St John Scotland is enormously appreciated and I send you every good wish for your future work and happiness.

Sir Malcolm Ross GCVO OBE

3 THE ORDER OF ST JOHN - HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

The origins of the Order of St John can be traced to an 11th century hospital - the Hospital of St John in Jerusalem. In 1113 the people who administered this hospital were formed into a religious Order. Soon after, they took on military duties and became known as Knights Hospitallers.

That Order, which exists today, is now commonly called the Order of Malta. It recruited members and owned property throughout Western Europe. The Order’s principal property in Scotland was at Torphichen, in West Lothian. Being Roman Catholic, the Order ceased to function in the British Isles at the time of the Reformation.

In the first half of the 19th century a group of people set out to revive the Order of Malta in the United Kingdom but ultimately formed themselves into a separate organisation which they called the Order of St John. In 1877 they founded the St John Ambulance Association, whose role was to provide training in first aid and similar activities. Ten years later the St John Ambulance Brigade was created, as a uniformed body of trained volunteers to provide first aid cover for the public. In 1968 it was decided to merge the Ambulance Association and Brigade into “St John Ambulance”, to allow closer co-ordination of the two roles of training and public duty.

In 1882, as a further means of providing to those in need and recognising its origins, the Order opened a hospital in Jerusalem. This was to treat eye disease, prevalent in the Middle East. (At that time, Jerusalem was part of the Ottoman Turkish Empire.)

In 1888, Queen Victoria made the Order a Royal Order of Chivalry with the monarch as its Sovereign Head. Since then the Grand Prior has always been a member of the Royal Family. Today the Order of St John functions throughout the United Kingdom, in many other Commonwealth countries, in the United States of America and at the hospital in Jerusalem.

THE ORDER IN SCOTLAND In its early years, the Order provided training in first aid and related subjects in Scotland, as in other parts of the United Kingdom. However, the Scottish-based St Andrew’s Ambulance Association was formed later and began similar activities, both in Scotland and England. In1908 it was agreed that the association would cease first aid training south of the border and the Order north of it. In the 1940s, some of its members felt there was scope for the Order to undertake a variety of public services in Scotland. In 1947, the Scottish Priory of the Order was formed and since then, from a standing start, it has achieved remarkable success in meeting a wide diversity of need. Over the years the Priory has responded to changes to some of these 4 needs brought about by developments such as the creation and evolution of the National Health Service. In recent times, the Priory has extended its support to mountain rescue teams in Scotland through the provision of vehicles and bases, and has funded minibuses for other needy organisations.

Facilities provided include a palliative care unit, patient transport, sheltered residential accommodation and, most recently, a First Responder service. Also, help is given to many local initiatives which provide services and supplies for people of all ages who are ill, disabled, infirm or in danger. The Priory has always supported the Order’s hospital in Jerusalem and currently sponsors its Medical Director. Additionally, help is given to St John Associations in developing countries, especially Malawi.

OBJECTS The objects of the Order in Scotland include: • the encouragement of all that makes for the spiritual and moral strengthening of mankind; • the encouragement and promotion of all work of humanity and charity for the relief of people in sickness, distress, suffering or danger; • the provision of assistance to the St John Eye Hospital in Jerusalem and its clinics and research projects; • the provision and maintenance of nursing homes, sheltered housing, hospices and rest and residential homes in Scotland; • the provision of a library.

GOVERNANCE OF THE PRIORY The Priory of Scotland is governed under the Royal Charters, Statutes and Regulations of the Order, and the Rules of the Priory of Scotland. Copies of these are available from the Chancery. Those in management or control of the Priory are the Prior and members of the Priory Chapter, listed on page 53. The Priory is administered from the Chancery, St John’s House, at 21 St John Street, Edinburgh. The work of the Order throughout Scotland is assisted by 12 area committees.

MEMBERSHIP The Priory of Scotland Anyone giving significant support to the Priory of Scotland may become a member of it. Area committees maintain rolls of Priory Members within their area. Readers new to St John who are interested in becoming members of the Priory of Scotland should approach their area contact (see pages 49-51).

5 MEMBERSHIP (continued) The Order of St John Membership of the Order (as an Order of Chivalry) is conferred in recognition of work done in furthering its objects. Recommendations for admission to, or promotion in, the Order may be made by the chairmen of the area committees and by Grade I or II members. Recommendations which survive intensive scrutiny are eventually submitted to Her Majesty The Queen for approval. New and promoted members are invested with their insignia at the Festival of St John held annually in Scotland on or about 24th June (St John Baptist Day). The Roll of Members of the Order in the Priory of Scotland is maintained in the Chancery. A member may request a copy of his or her recorded particulars at any time. Limited information is supplied to office bearers in connection with Order business, but not to any other person or body.

Grades of the Order Under its Sovereign Head, Her Majesty The Queen, the Order has six grades: I Dames & Bailiffs Grand Cross GCStJ II Dames & Knights (of Grace or of Justice) DStJ & KStJ III Commanders, *Chaplains CStJ, ChStJ IV Officers, *Sub-Chaplains OStJ, SubChStJ V Members, *Assistant Chaplains MStJ, AsstChStJ VI Esquires EsqStJ * Clerical grades are being phased out from 1 January 2004. Those holding them before then may continue to use them until promoted.

Foundation Dues and Oblations To carry out its charitable works, the Order depends to a great extent on contributions from its members, and funds raised from the public. Order members are relied upon for two set contributions: Foundation Dues, payable on admission to, and promotion within, the Order; and Annual Oblations,payable yearly on a scale related to grade within the Order. The rates from 1st January 2013 are:

Grade Foundation Annual Dues (£) Oblations (£) I GCStJ 580 125 II DStJ & KStJ 300 95 III CStJ, ChStJ 195 65 IV OStJ, SubChStJ 100 50 V MStJ, AsstChStJ 70 40 VI EsqStJ - 30 6 Initials and Insignia The preceding abbreviations may be used in connection with the work of the Order and in biographical references. The abbreviations, when used as post-nominal letters, come after those of the other British Orders and crosses for bravery, e.g. Donald MacDonald Esq MBE MC KStJ. Order insignia take the same precedence. Notes on the wearing of insignia are available on request from the Chancery. Members might also wish to note that any insignia no longer required, e.g. through promotion, may be sent to the Chancery where it can be used to the benefit of the Priory.

THE CHANCERY AND ITS STAFF The Chancery, or headquarters, of the Priory of Scotland is at St John’s House, Edinburgh. The Business Manager is Tom McFarlane, who leads the small team of Alan Lees, the Administrator, and Janet Knox, the Area Liaison Office. The Chancery is manned during normal working hours.

LIBRARY The library of the Priory of Scotland is contained within St John’s House. It is a fascinating collection of books, documents, photographs and objects relating to the Order from its origins to the present day. Together these form a rich source of information for Order members who may borrow books and for reference-only purposes by postgraduate students. Visitors to the library are welcome and are requested to make arrangements with the Librarian, Confrere Duncan McAra, by email at [email protected] or on 07918 521047. The Librarian has recently donated to the Library his own set of World Orders of Knighthood & Merit (Vol.1 pp. l-1086 & Vol. ll pp.1087-2086) edited by Guy Stair Sainty & Rafal Heydel-Mankoo (Burke’s Peerage and Gentry, 2006)

TORPHICHEN PRECEPTORY The first property in Scotland of the pre-Reformation Order was established at Torphichen in West Lothian. Acquired during the reign of David I, King of Scots (1124 – 1153), it became, and remained until the 16th century, the Order’s administrative centre in Scotland. It was also a hospital and a place of worship. It held the right of sanctuary and the large stones marking the sanctuary boundary can still be seen. The tower and transepts of the Preceptory building remain and the property is under the stewardship of Historic Scotland. With the help of volunteers organised by St John West Lothian members, the Preceptory is open to the public over weekends and bank holidays from 1st April to 30th September between 1pm and 5pm. New volunteers would be welcome and should ring the St John West Lothian Secretary, Stuart Learmonth, on 07887778881 or [email protected]. The pretty village of Torphichen lies in attractive countryside 20 miles due west of Edinburgh, one mile on the B792 from the A706.

7 OVERSEAS PROJECTS OVERSEAS

ST JOHN EYE HOSPITAL, JERUSALEM St John Scotland has donated £212,000 to help the Jerusalem-based Eye Hospital Group fulfil an ambition to relocate from increasing unsuitable premises on the outskirts of Hebron on the West Bank to a new, purpose-built hospital nearer the city centre.

The Hebron Hospital is currently housed in rented, rundown accommodation, but even so in 2013, the staff treated over 11,000 patients and carried out 430 sight-saving operations. The move to the new hospital is expected to allow a 20% increase in the number of outpatient treatments and a 10% increase in operations. It will also save money, as the Group will own an entire floor of a building still under construction.

Isla Richards, the Group’s Director of Fundraising, hailed the St John Scotland donation when she was the guest speaker at the Convocation in Polmont in October. She said that moving in to a shell would allow it to be furnished and equipped exactly as required. (See also page 34)

Sight issues are recognised by the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics as the most common form of disability in a region where rates of disability are generally very high.

Writing in the most recent annual Report, Nicholas Woolf, Chairman, and Brigadier Tom Ogilvie-Graham, Chief Executive of the St John Eye Hospital Group, described the hospital there as “vital” to area’s 600,000 residents. The south of the city was, they wrote, particularly affected by movement restrictions imposed on the West Bank.

The St John Eye Hospital in Jerusalem has sites in Hebron, Anabta and Gaza and has an outreach team to service impoverished communities across the West Bank. In total in 2013 it treated 114,000 patients, including 37,000 children, and carried out 4,200 operations.

8 OVERSEAS PROJECTS

ST JOHN MALAWI PRIMARY HEALTH CARE PROJECT

Malawi is ranked on the UN Human Development Index as one of the poorest nations, with low life expectancy and a high level of infant mortality in the world. Since 1988 St John Malawi, with support from Priories around the globe, has run a Primary Health Care Project, with the aim of preventing illness through education and immunisation.

St John Scotland has forged strong links with St John Malawi and has so far donated in excess of £120,000, including funds for to meet running costs, provide first aid training and the develop training services.

ST JOHN INTERNATIONAL OFFICE AND ST JOHN ASSOCIATIONS

Priories worldwide – including Scotland - contribute to the St John International Office in London, and through the small staff there, provide assistance to more than 30 St John Associations around the world, many in developing nations. The size of each Priories contribute depends on membership numbers.

9 OVERSEAS PROJECTS OVERSEAS

THE ST JOHN HOME-BASED CARE PROGRAMME

The St John Home-based Care programme in Malawi complements the Primary Health Care project and provides health education, especially related to childhood illnesses, and it trains people to look after seriously ill patients in their own homes.

In 2011 St John Scotland undertook to support St John Malawi by funding the programme fully by donating £55,800 over three years. The programme started in 2012 and to date £40,500 has been contributed.

THE ST JOHN EMERGENCY RELIEF FUND

St John Scotland has made regular contributions to the St John Emergency Relief Fund, having suggested the need for it in 2006, following the Sri Lankan tsunami disaster two years earlier. The Grand Council agreed to set up a flexible fund to respond rapidly to emergencies. Priories donate in relation to their membership. To date the Fund has been used following crises in Kenya and Zimbabwe.

10 MOUNTAIN SAFETY SUPPORT

Cairngorm MRT on Exercise. St John Scotland’s new mountain safety advisor aims to cut the number of actual emergencies SAFETY IN THE SCOTTISH MOUNTAINS St John Scotland’s commitment to the safety of climbers and hillwalkers is well documented, thanks to the multi-million pound support given to the country’s voluntary mountain rescue movement, but now it is being taken to a higher level: offering training to young adventurers, before they face potential danger.

In a joint initiative with the Mountaineering Council of Scotland (MCofS), St John Scotland is to fund the appointment of a skilled mountaineering instructor, who will work with university climbing clubs to ensure that newly recruited “freshers” are prepared and equipped for the harsh winter conditions they are likely to encounter on Scotland’s hills and crags.

David Gibson, the Chief Officer of MCofS, said: “University clubs can be a great way of introducing young people to the challenges, but the time between joining and going out in winter conditions can be relatively short and the consequences for the inexperienced can be serious.”

The new St John Scotland instructor will be appointed in time for the start of the 2015/16-winter season and will work with clubs from all over the UK, when they are at their bases in the mountains. The initial appointment will run from August 2015 until March 2016.

Sir Malcolm Ross, the Prior of St John Scotland, said: “Our aim is to ensure that students have a unique opportunity to receive the best guidance from a qualified instructor during club meetings. Our mountains provide little margin for error, especially in winter.” www.mcofs.org.uk

11 MOUNTAIN RESCUE MOUNTAIN

The Prior and the Chancellor joined a photoshoot with very appropriately dressed members of Cairngorm MRT.

SUPPORT FOR SCOTTISH MOUNTAIN RESCUE Since 1997, St John Scotland has donated almost £3.5 million to Scotland’s voluntary mountain rescue teams. It has provided bases to 13 of them and vital emergency vehicles to all 27 and is now well in to a rolling programme to replace those vehicles that are nearing the end of their useful life.

St John Scotland is the movement’s main supporter, bigger even than the Scottish Government, a fact acknowledged by many at the UK and Ireland Mountain Rescue “Gathering” in September 2014 in Aviemore.

Not only was St John Scotland a premier sponsor of the highly successful conference, earlier in the same week it underwrote the first ever leadership development course in Scotland for volunteer search and rescue organisations, at Glenmore Lodge. Building a new generation of leaders was the main theme for both events.

During the conference the Prior, Sir Malcolm Ross, took the opportunity to speak to delegates and ask for their support in raising the profile of St John Scotland by ensuring that all vehicles and bases provided are properly branded, with the new St John Scotland logo.

On display at the conference was the brand new Assynt team vehicle (Pictured left), which is a perfect example of a well branded St John Scotland vehicle.

12 MOUNTAIN RESCUE

Prior Sir Malcolm Ross presents the keys of a new St John Scotland branded vehicle to Ken MacKenziie, the leader of the Galloway Mountain Rescue team. RESCUE VEHICLES

Six Scottish mountain rescue teams received replacement vehicles with help from St John Scotland this year and although no new bases were handed over, it still represents a considerable investment, amounting to £120,000.

It was a Royal – if quiet - occasion when the Braemar team took possession of their new Land Rover Defender in the presence of the Duke of Edinburgh, the Patron, who had requested no fuss, when he broke into a family holiday to be there (Pictured below).

Galloway MRT turned their presentation into a bit of a party in November, when they received a new VW Transporter rescue vehicle from the Prior, Sir Malcolm Ross, at the team’s temporary home at Castle Douglas Fire Station.

Assynt MRT members were so proud of their new Defender that they made a point of taking it to the UK and Ireland Mountain Rescue “Gathering” in Aviemore where it provided a prime example of a well-branded St John Scotland sponsored vehicle.

Other presentations have been made at Lochaber and Dundonnell and at time of writing, members of the Ochils team were planning a formal handover of their new vehicle soon.

In the recent past, St John Scotland has also committed support to the Search and Rescue Dog Association, with a grant last year of £25,000 for the purchase of a vehicle.

13 OTHER SUPPORT OTHER

ORGAN DONATION

In 2013, St John Scotland joined NHS Blood and Transplant to recognise the organ donors who, in death, give the gift of life to others. The second annual ceremony was held in September 2014 in Edinburgh, when 200 people, the family and friends of 61 donors, gathered at the Royal Botanic Garden to receiving a small award – a small badge bearing the St John cross and the words “Add life, give hope” The Prior, Sir Malcolm Ross, told the families: “We in St John Scotland know how vital organ donation is to the thousands of people in the UK waiting for a transplant. It is also important for us to say ‘thank you’ to the families who gave their permission for their loves ones’ organs to be donated, so that others might live.” Sir Malcolm and many of the families later had the opportunity to be among the first to see a new memorial garden to donors, which was opened the previous day at the Botanic Gardens (See more on page 44.)

PALLIATIVE CARE PROJECT, DUMFRIES AND GALLOWAY

The Palliative Care unit at Galloway Community Hospital in the Stranraer Area and the Hospice at Home service, which is also supported by St John Scotland, continue to provide important services to the local community.

Hospices in Clydebank and in Fife have also received donations from local St John Scotland committees.

14 OTHER SUPPORT

The new baby ambulance has saved “many lives”. THE ST JOHN NEONATAL AMBULANCE

Last autumn St John Scotland handed over a custom-built baby ambulance to the West of Scotland Neonatal Transport Service. Funded jointly at a cost of £212,000 by Glasgow Area and Priory the vehicle and its sophisticated life support system went into service on January 1, 2014. Since then it has been used well in excess of 800 times, travelling more than 32,500 miles carrying sick babies to and from specialist centres, often for emergency treatment. It has journeyed as far afield as Inverness in the North and Cleveland over the Border. Doctors and nurses say there is no doubt that it has saved many lives.

St John is currently examining with the National Health Service, the need for a second special baby ambulance, which could be stationed elsewhere in the Transport Service network.

ST JOHN SCOTLAND TAKES TO THE WATER

St John Scotland has been a significant contributor to the provision of rescue boats on the Solway Firth, where the St John is operated by Nith Inshore Rescue and on Loch Lomond, one of Scotland’s most popular and busy waterways.

Both boats are branded with the St John logo and local St John Scotland Area committees maintain strong links with the teams who operate the services.

Still on a watery theme, St John Scotland is a major sponsor of Seagull Trust Cruises, which provides free trips for people with special needs on the canal network. Following major capital funding for the construction of canal boats, several Areas make regular donations to the Trust to support running costs.

15 OTHER SUPPORT OTHER

FIRST RESPONDER SERVICE The St John Scotland-supported First Responders Service, through which trained volunteers work with the Scottish Ambulance Service, is growing rapidly. Angus has 23 people, ready to be first on the scene of an emergency to help until professional paramedics arrive.

Glasgow Area has donated £6,500 to the new service in Neilston and Uplawmoor, for the purchase of defibrillators and training equipment for 30 members.

The Ayrshire and Arran Area is already supporting one village group and is looking at requests for funding from two others.

HANDICABS

A donation of £40,000 was made in July 2014, to Handicabs, by the Edinburgh Area of St John Scotland to allow the charity to add a new, specially adapted vehicle to a fleet, which for 30 years has been increasing important to people with mobility problems.

Sir Malcolm Ross, the Prior of St John Scotland, handed over the keys to Muriel Williams who chairs Handicabs, at a ceremony at Holyrood Palace. She said: “Edinburgh is not very friendly for people with mobility issues, so this gift from St John Scotland will allow us to further improve the service we provide for them, travelling to hospital, or simply going out on a shopping trip.” (See handover picture on page 28.)

16 OTHER SUPPORT

ST JOHN RETIREMENT COMPLEX - ARCHIBALD RUSSELL COURT, POLMONT

The St John Scotland Archibald Russell Retirement Complex at Polmont in Central Area, which is managed by Bield Housing and Care, has operated at near capacity in the past year. Bield has been awarded a second three-year contract to run the facility.

17 THE RECEIVER GENERAL’S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST OCTOBER 2013

The Priory had a deficit of £152,000 on its activities this year however, it benefited from the recovery in the stock markets achieving gains on its investments of £1.8 million resulting in an overall increase in funds. Sources of voluntary income have become more difficult to access and in line with many other charities the Priory has seen a decline over some years in donations and income from local fund-raising events. An increase in dividends received has offset the effect somewhat to achieve total income of £770K. The strength of the Priory’s investment base has allowed the continuation of its activities in Scotland and long-standing support of Scottish Mountain Rescue, the St John Eye Hospital in Jerusalem and St John Malawi. Total expenditure for the year of £922,025 includes £262,000 (28%) to support other charities whose activities meet the aims of the Priory. Following the Priory’s Governance review in 2012, the Trustees have undertaken a major review of the Priory’s activities and created a strategy to take the Priory forward to 2020. It has been important to share this process with the members of the Priory and three events were held during the year to disseminate the information to the Area Committees and the general membership.

St John Homes The retirement complex at Archibald Russell Court in Polmont is managed, on the Priory’s behalf, by Bield Housing & Care. The flats remain fully occupied with a very low turnover of residents. The former holiday home in Strathyre is for sale and after a closing date, negotiations have been ongoing with a potential buyer.

Patient Transport This year saw the delivery of a new fully-equipped ‘state of the art’ ambulance for the Neo- Natal Transport Service in Glasgow. The Priory’s funding of £212,000 covered the cost of the specialised vehicle and the most advanced equipment available. In Dumfries and Galloway, the local volunteers continue taking patients to hospitals in Stranraer and Dumfries and also to link up with the NHS service to hospitals in Glasgow and Edinburgh. This year, 296 people (2012: 322) were transported a total of 28,644 miles (2012: 27,573), The St John Angus and Dundee transport service is tasked by the Scottish Ambulance Service five days per week to carry patients to Ninewells Hospital and by NHS Tayside on six days per week to take patients to the Dialysis Unit in Arbroath. A total of 2,090 patient trips (2012:1,450) covering 66,692 miles (2012:54,595 miles) were undertaken. The Priory’s two vehicles each can transport up to 6 passengers and some volunteers use their own cars. The Priory is greatly indebted to the volunteers, in both these areas, who give up substantial amounts of time to drive the vehicles and provide a valued service to their communities. In Edinburgh, for the 6th year a donation of £10,000 to help with running costs was made to Handicabs (Lothian) Ltd and a new ‘dial a ride’ bus was commissioned and fully funded by the Priory.

First Responder In Angus and Dundee, St John First Responders are now available in all main population centres in Angus with a full equipment kit. Their role is to assist the Scottish Ambulance Service and

18 the community at large by ensuring an initial response as quickly as possible. There are 23 volunteers who have answered 146 (2012:202) call-outs from the Scottish Ambulance Service. These local volunteers are trained to use defibrillators and can help in those essential minutes before the paramedics arrive. St John is proud to be involved in this life-saving service and to be able to provide these dedicated volunteers.

Palliative Care The palliative care service together with the Hospice at Home option continues at the John Calvert Suite in the Galloway Community Hospital and is valued by the community. Other hospices in Fife and Clydebank have received small donations from the local committee.

Rescue Support

Vehicles The vehicle replacement programme for mountain rescue teams is now in its third year. By the end of the financial year, 18 teams had qualified for the grant of £20,000 although not all teams have applied for the grant. In 2013, Braemar, Killin, Kintail, Torridon & Kinlochewe and SARDA teams ordered their new vehicles and received the full funding. Provision has been made for the remaining grants due which will be disbursed once a vehicle has been ordered. Funds have been set aside in the Mountain Rescue Vehicle Fund for those due in future years. The Priory has supported the Search & Rescue Dog Association for many years by sponsoring its call-out service and the funding of communications which continues..

Bases The Priory has already provided twelve bases for mountain rescue teams. This rent-free accommodation has, in the main, been built to the teams’ own specifications with a view to providing the best possible facilities for each team’s individual needs. A property in Blairgowrie was purchased on 15th March 2013 from Perth & Kinross Council as a base for the Tayside Mountain Rescue Team. This new base has provided the team with a secure home after years of a nomad existence in various garages. The team are very grateful for this new resource which allows them to operate more efficiently and effectively. Other Support Members in Aberdeen Dunbartonshire and Perth & Kinross continue to support their local teams with equipment and fund-raising.

St John Overseas The Priory continued to help St John Associations overseas as well the St John Eye Hospital in Jerusalem. The St John Eye Hospital is a foundation of the Order of St John and supported by St John establishments and members worldwide. Supporting the hospital has always been a very important part of the work of the members in Scotland and the Priory continues to sponsor the salary of the Medical Director. Funding for the hospital library pays for a part-time librarian and for subscriptions to medical journals and on-line support.

In Malawi, the primary health care project continued to provide a valuable service teaching basic skills to local people which help to ward against disease. St John Malawi is continuing

19 with the home-based care project originally funded though St John International and has now received half of the St John Scotland funding agreed for 3 years.

Local Projects for the Elderly and Disadvantaged A variety of charities are helped every year by the St John area committees. This year over £15,000 was given to help 15 charities throughout the country from Aberdeen to Duns, some being long-standing recipients of support such as the Seagull Trust Cruises in Ratho and Falkirk and the Sitter Service for the Handicapped in Aberdeen and others being helped for the first time, Starter Packs Angus and Clic Sergeant in Ayr. St John members are committed to helping the communities in their local areas.

If you wish to receive more detailed information , the full audited accounts for the year ended 31st October 2013 are available from the Chancery. They are free to Priory members with a charge of £20 being made available otherwise.

Again this year I would like to express my sincere thanks to the area treasurers and to the members of the Finance and General Purposes Committee for their immeasurable help and unfailing support.

St John Scotland is divided into 12 Area Committees and they organise events throughout the year to raise funds for and awareness of its charitable work. Their efforts benefit many local, national and international causes.

Aberdeen and the North East With the aim of being better known locally, the committee decided on a policy of attending more public events. The first was an Open Day run by the bus company First Aberdeen in June at their King Street premises, attended by 8000 people. The exposure achieved was judged a success for St John Scotland so the committee decided to attend the Echt Show in July 2014. Again this was extremely successful with a large turnout of visitors.

It is now planned to attend several events in 2015, including the Echt Show, Aberdeen Highland Games and the Banchory Show, which will offer opportunities for profile and fund raising.

St John Scotland at the First Aberdeen Open Day The collection at the Nine Lessons and Carols service in St Fitticks Church in December 2013 was given to St John to further the work of the Eye Hospital in Jerusalem.

For the third year, the Annual General Meeting of St John Aberdeen and North East also included a medical lecture. It was given by Professor Sir Ian Diamond, Principal and Vice Chancellor of the University of Aberdeen. It has been decided make this an annual lecture and Professor Peter Morgan, Head of The Rowett Institute, has already accepted an invitation to speak in January 2015.

The committee is in discussion with CLAN, which provides cancer support; Roxburghe House, which offers palliative care; and NHS Grampian’s Aberdeen Royal Infirmary, to establish if St John Scotland can provide Apothecaries’ Gardens at these locations. It is planned to have schools and other organisations involved in the planting and maintenance of the gardens.

Angus and Dundee On his promotion to KStJ, Bill Spence stood down as Chairman of the Angus and Dundee Area and, on the invitation of the Prior former secretary of the Area Elisabeth Hill OBE CStJ took over as Chair at the Open Meeting in April this year.

The January committee meeting welcomed Interim General Manager Karen Carlton who

24 reported on a number of actions arising from discussions at the Convocation held at Polmont in November 2013.

The annual Open Meeting was held on April 22nd 2014 at the Brechin Mechanics Institute. Members enjoyed two presentations, the first by Receiver General, Fiona Crighton CStJ, and the second by Eric Drummond QPM who updated the audience on the work of the Tayside Mountain Rescue teams.

The biggest general fundraising event this year was at the Dundee Rotary’s Gala Day. Thanks Bill Spence, Knight of St John to a direct appeal to members and to their generosity, the return was the best the Area has had from this event in the past ten years. Most money was raised by selling tickets for tombola, the sale of St John Scotland Christmas cards and of the new St John Scotland calendar.

The Patient Transport service has grown from a mileage total of 3195 in November 2012 to 6573 in February 2014. The total travelled since the project began is 92,853 miles. At first, the volunteer service transported patients receiving chemotherapy at Ninewells Hospital but it has now been widened to those attending for Radiotherapy and the transport of renal patients who attend either Arbroath Infirmary or Ninewells.

First Responders continue to undertake calls when requested to do so by the Scottish Ambulance Service. There are currently 23 First Responders resident across the main population centres of Angus and two more are on the waiting list for vetting and training.

Ayrshire and Arran So far this year, Ayrshire and Arran Area have held two can collections. Tesco granted permission for one at their large supermarket in Irvine and later, in early April, at their store in North Kilmarnock. The Area Committee has expressed gratitude to the company and everyone who collected, for their support.

The main fund-raiser this year was on the 9th April when, by kind permission of Michael and Deborah Findlay, a bridge lunch was held at Carnell, Hurlford. It was a great success, with twelve tables leading to the Area banking over £1,000.

Support is to go to a local village with funding for their new First Responder programme and two other groups are planning to launch new programmes.

Central It has proven to be a particularly quiet year this year with Area’s main activity centred on the Archibald Russell Court Retirement Complex at Polmont. The management company Bield,

25 who have overseen the project for the last three years, has been awarded another three-year contract subsequent to the successful initial term.

The complex has been maintained at almost full capacity during the year and after some minor repairs to various parts of the building the whole water-heating system has been upgraded with a new and more effective (and importantly cost-effective) replacement.

Sir Andrew Murray House at Strathyre has now sadly been closed and awaiting sale. It continues to be monitored by former Chairman of the SAMH Committee, Arthur Leask.

The contribution made to the Central Area by The Rev John Murning must be acknowledged. After many years dedicated service, he has changed his charge and has moved out of the Area. It is with considerable sadness that this Report concludes with a mention of the passing of Past Chairman Archibald Russell (Read a tribute on page 74.)

Dumfries and Galloway Dumfries It has been another busy year for Dumfries Committee and friends. The patient transport vehicle, with nearly 120,000 miles already on the clock, travelled another 9,000 miles carrying 173 patients. Another three volunteers will soon join the team of seven drivers.

Fundraising members have again been collecting at the Gretna Gateway Centre and a very successful coffee morning was also held with great assistance from the members of St.Mary’s- Greyfriars’ Parish Church.

The Rev Martin Callaghan will step down as Committee Chairperson at the AGM after six successful years.

Stranraer Stranraer concentrates on two main projects: Palliative Care and Patient Transport. Both are going from strength to strength. Palliative Care continues to experience high levels of take-up. It is important that those nearing the end of their lives do so in comfort with their families close at hand. Every effort is made to ensure that the local unit is maintained to the highest standards and the facilities are the best that can be provided.

Hospice at Home is also well used and every effort is made to ensure that assistance is available when needed. The transport service is vital in a rural community and special thanks must go to the voluntary drivers whose contribution ensures that the service continues. The support of the Dumfries Committee and the local community is greatly appreciated.

Dunbartonshire Dunbartonshire made the St John Scotland headlines in July when Helensburgh man John McMahon became the first person to take part in St John Scotland’s new project to invite

26 athletes to run in events such as 10k races and half marathons to raise sponsorship cash and awareness.

The Independent Financial Adviser competed in his first ever Triathlon, the Loch Lomond Highland Games Triathlon at Balloch, finished 108th out of 300 entrants, and raised £340 for St John Scotland.

The twelve months began with a very successful “Wines of the World” evening in a new venue, the Millennium Hall at Gartocharn, and nearly £1,300 was raised through the hard work and enterprise of Wing Commander and Mrs George Campbell and members of their family.

A can collection, organised by Douglas Dow, was held in Helensburgh Co-op in June and raised £800. Meanwhile John Brown continued to raise funds through the sale of various items, including the 2015 St John Calendar, which he was instrumental in producing.

Donations of £500 each were made to the Arrochar Mountain Rescue Team; the Luss-based Loch Lomond Rescue Boat; the Acorn Centre at the Vale of Leven Hospital, Alexandria, a ‘one stop shop’ for children suffering from a variety of conditions; the St Margaret of Scotland Hospice at Clydebank; and the Mugdock Trust to provide facilities for the disabled at Mugdock Country Park, Milngavie.

In addition a £400 donation was made to the St John Eye Hospital Group in Jerusalem

Edinburgh and the South-East The last year has been interesting and busy for the Edinburgh and South East Scotland Area. The South East committee’s fundraising under the chairmanship of Alasdair Hutton has gone from strength to strength. Another successful Christmas lunch was held at Duns Castle in December. This was followed by a spring lunch at Longridge Towers School with a fascinating talk about the history of the Order from the former Chief Executive, Richard Waller.

Sadly, because of ill health, the South East treasurer, Nancy Hodge, stepped down. Taking over from Nancy is George Young, a very skilled accountant.

Together, the Edinburgh and South East committees hosted the Festival of St John this year. Grateful thanks to all who made it happen.

The Edinburgh committee had a very successful winter fair in October. Later the committee hosted a Christmas lunch at which Beth Gow, CStJ, celebrated her 90th birthday.

There have been a number of important fundraising events in Edinburgh. These have

27 included a trip to Edinburgh’s “secret” museum. This is the city’s depository for items requiring restoration or which are not currently on display to the public.

The annual barge trip took place, courtesy of Seagull Trust Cruises, in July and new this year have been two lecture events. The first was a ‘virtual’ tour of the St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle by Robin Alexander. Our very own Jim Floyd, on Public Heraldry in Edinburgh, conducted the second.

Gratitude goes to the friends of the late Rev Tom Crichton KStJ, for allowing a fundraising visit Tom’s house in August. Tom accumulated a wonderful collection of antiques over his lifetime and it was a privilege to see it. Tom is missed but certainly not forgotten.

The second annual “Helping others week” took place in the first week in September and it is hoped it will become an annual event. After a cross-country fundraiser, thanks to Charlie Boyd for allowing a visit to his historic house just outside Edzel.

The branch continues to support the St John Eye Hospital as a priority and Edinburgh also continues to support the work of Lothian Sounds, Seagull Trust Cruises and this year was delighted to provide a vehicle to Handicabs Ltd and in the picture the Prior, Sir Malcolm Ross is seen handing over the keys to Muriel Williams of chairs the mobility charity.

Fife The Area has had a quiet year for various reasons.

An enjoyable Ghostly Tour of St Andrews was organised by Anne Morris followed by a light supper and spooky tales in Trinity Church.

The annual carol service was held at Balgonie Castle and conducted by The Rev John Murdoch. The Lord Lieutenant of Fife, Mrs Margaret Dean, presented cheques to Riding for the Disabled, the Eye Hospital, Maggie’s Centre and Disability Sport Fife. Sums were also sent to five council care homes for extra comforts for their residents at Christmas.

The annual open meeting was held again at Elmwood Golf Club when the guest speaker Mrs Margaret Dean gave a very entertaining talk about her time in office as Lord Lieutenant. A charity lunch was held in St Andrews.

28 Glasgow Glasgow members were delighted to witness the handover of the ‘Crichton’ Neonatal Ambulance last August (2013). The state-of the art vehicle, jointly funded by Priory and Glasgow branch, was not long in making its mark in lifesaving operations. For the first time ever in Scotland a highly specialised technique called High Frequency Oscillation was used to transport a sick baby. Previously, this would not have been possible. The ambulance and its team have now made well over 800 trips, many in lifesaving situations.

A new venture, well supported by Glasgow members, is the Neilston and Uplawmoor First Responders. Since ‘going live’ in January this year the team has responded to over one hundred incidents and provides much needed cover in an isolated rural area, until the arrival of ambulance specialists. To date St John Glasgow has donated £6500 for the provision of defibrillators and much needed training equipment for its thirty members. The branch’s support for the St John Eye Hospital in Jerusalem continued with a recent donation of £5000.

During the year members have supported various fund-raising ventures such as the ‘At Home’ in April, which offered cheese and wine, followed by a cooking demonstration by two professional chefs; a Coffee Morning, which raised £1100; and the October Function Buffet Dinner at which seventy-five members were entertained by the Aria Singers. Members were delighted that the Prior joined us on that occasion. The highly successful Art Sale continued over three days in October, which raises a considerable sum for branch funds.

Highland October 2013 saw the culmination of a three-year project to support the Play Therapy Unit in the Children’s Ward of Raigmore Hospital. £1,500, the proceeds of a fashion show, was handed over, giving a total for the period of £3,500.

In December, the annual Carol Service took place in St Michaels and All Angels Church in Inverness with some new members and visitors in attendance. Malcolm MacRae, again drove up from Edinburgh and as usual gave the audience the benefit of musical skills on the organ. From collections and other funds a cheque for the sum of £1,000 was passed to Edinburgh to be placed into the Eye Hospital pot.

During November – December, the St John “Giving Tree” in the Eastgate Centre in Inverness again provided the means for the public to be involved in donating Christmas gifts to 700 children in care.

Chairman Bob Fullerton attended the handover of a Land Rover to Dundonnell MRT at Macrae and Dick garage in Inverness. Team members expressed their thanks to St John Scotland for the support that they had received over the years.

Spring, 2014 brought a “first” for Highland, with a joint venture with Tain Rotary. A ceilidh night was organised by Mark Sutherland-Fisher OStJ and held in the clubhouse of Tain Golf Club. Both organisations shared the profits. Another ceilidh is being put together for Spring 2015.

29 Summer 2014 was a busy one: For the second time, Highland manned a very successful information stall at the Tain Rotary Fair.

A new vehicle was handed over to Assynt MRT team leader Sue Agnew by Chancellor Douglas Dow in the grounds of The Lochardil Hotel, Inverness.

At the end of September, a Race Night was organised by committee members in “The Club” in Inverness. The fun-filled night raised £681 for Area funds.

As part of Area disbursement of funds, a cheque for £1,000 was handed over to Mr John Gordon of the Seagull Trust on board their vessel on the Caledonian Canal.

Perth and Kinross The Annual Lunch in October and Open Meeting in April were both well attended. At the Open Meeting, there was a fascinating presentation by Eric Drummond of Tayside Mountain Rescue, whose new St John Scotland Base had been opened by the Chancellor in September 2013. Perth & Kinross Council and St John Perth & Kinross initiated a particularly exciting new, joint youth venture. This was a concert involving the Perth & Kinross Schools Central Bands. The concert provided an opportunity to present the work of St John Scotland to a large audience of young people, their parents and friends. This will now become a regular event in the calendar. The Area’s pipers once again appeared through the summer months at Scone Palace and at Kinross Show. An increasing number of volunteer pipers, many from the Royal Scottish Pipers’ Society, have helped with fundraising and as a result, the Committee was able to present a cheque for £1,500 to CHAS Rachel House.

Perth and Kinross continued to support the St John Eye Hospital Group.

The Area has regularly supported Perth Shopmobility, a valued service in the community, and this year provided funding for a new motorised scooter and a specialised electric wheelchair.

The projects with the elderly continue to develop, led by Sheila Ferguson-Smith. There is now a weekly Art Group at Braehead, Auchterarder, where participants are brought in from surrounding care homes. Working in a group or individually, they have produced some great art. In addition, their group-produced notelets are sold in aid of the Eye Hospital.

A highly successful fundraising concert, held in December in Perth’s St Ninians Cathedral, raised £2,000 for the Area.

30 The sell-out event featured the Perth and Kinross Central Band and Scotland’s Air Ambulance, supported by a local youth band, Longstay.

The evening’s musical programme had a distinctly “Christmas” feel but in a tribute to the 100th anniversary of War War One, the roof-raising moments came when the entire audience joined in to sing along with popular tunes from the trenches.

In a change of tone, Piper Ruairidh Proctor (Pictured), dressed in the uniform of the era, played laments.

The event was organised by Councillor Douglas Pover, hosted by Provost Liz Grant and was attended by, among others, the Lord Lieutenant of Perth and Kinross, Brigadier Melville Jameson, St John Scotland’s Receiver General Fiona Crigton and Area Chairman, Dr John Ferguson Smith.

West Lothian Music, pies and peas, the potential of a bingo win and a garden party have all helped West Lothian Area raise more than £1,600 for funds in the past year.

In January, a ceilidh night in Bathgate, with the Katie Wylie Band, raised £250; in April, a Pie, Peas and Bingo evening - with music from James Provan - brought in £327; and a cabaret evening with tribute artist Paul Philips – doing fine impressions of Kenny Rogers and Roy Orbiston - accounted for £480 more.

On a more traditional St John Scotland note, August saw Area chairman Keith Stirling and Primary 3 and 4 pupils from Windyknowe school in Bathgate take a tour of Torphichen Preceptory, where Keith delivered a talk on the Knights Templar and the Order of St John.

On the last day in August, the Annual Order Service was held at Torphichen Preceptory and at afternoon tea in the Torphichen Inn, a cheque for £1,000 was handed over to the Hospitaller for the Eye Hospital fund. A week later the September garden fete at the Beeches in Torphichen was attended in fine weather by 60 people and added £600 to the Torphichen was the backdrop to successful garden fete coffers.

31 2020: THE WAY AHEAD

The five key goals of St John Scotland’s Strategy for 20120 Be recognised as a leading life-saving and life-enhancing charity in Scotland; Improve public awareness and perception of the activities and achievements of Priory, Develop an active membership based on all ages throughout Scotland, which participates in fundraising and delivery of charitable benefit, Make a difference by raising and applying at least £2 million in funds to deliver service to more than 5,000 people at local level and, Improve revenue from activities and protect the Priory from financial shock.

CONVOCATION 2014 St John Scotland’s Strategy for 2020 was unveiled at the Convocation in Polmont in November 2013, following an independent review, which the Prior said marked “the end of looking back”. In July 2014, addressing the annual Festival in Edinburgh, Sir Malcolm Ross, reported on the “remarkable progress” that had been made in the intervening months. The second Convocation, held in October, again at the Inchyra Grange Hotel in Polmont, heard the detail. Sir Malcolm detailed an impressive list of suggestions that had come from members at Polmont 1 and the action which had followed: A pack for speakers, new merchandise – like the umbrella pictured (right), new corporate clothing and new publicity material: All were now available. New members of staff were in place to assist. Tom McFarlane is the Business Manager. Alan Lees has settled

32 2020: THE WAY AHEAD

in as Administrator. Janet Knox is to be redeployed from finance to become Liaison Officer for the Areas. Area Committees were praised for the speed with which they set about appointing individuals to take special responsibility for specific tasks. New working groups had been set up to develop proposals and there would be presentations from three at the Convocation covering Patient Transport, First Aid and Mountain Safety and for a new Caring Caller service (See the following pages for more detail). The Prior also referred back to the humbling experience of meeting the families of organ donors who in death had given life to others. Two ceremonies have been held in Edinburgh in conjunction with NHS Blood and Transplant at which their loved ones were honoured (See also page ?) Pledging continued support to Scottish Mountain Rescue, Sir Malcolm described attending the UK and Ireland Mountain Rescue Gathering, held at Aviemore, where St John Scotland was one of two main sponsors. He also revealed that next year’s Festival will be held on June 26 in Glasgow and that St John Scotland had stepped in to host next year’s meeting of the Grand Council, in Edinburgh, after it was deemed unsafe for delegates from across the world to travel to the proposed venue, Kenya. 33 2020: THE WAY AHEAD

The guest speaker at the Convocation was Isla Richards, the Director of Fundraising for the Eye Hospital Group, who had “come home” to Scotland to thank St John Scotland for a major donation for a new hospital at Hebron, on the West Bank. (See Eye Hospital Report).

THE PROPOSALS

A NATIONAL PATIENT TRANSPORT SERVICE Patient transport is not a new concept to St John Scotland. As detailed elsewhere in this Year Book, Dumfries and Galloway Area supports a service where a single vehicle has clocked up more than 200,000 miles over the years and in the last year alone added 90,000 miles, carrying 173 patients for oncology treatment. The Angus and Dundee Area has seen a similar increase in demand from renal dialysis patients and their relatives, with mileage covered increasing from 3,193 in November 2012, to 6,573 in February 2014. Former Area Chairman, Bill Spence chairs the steering committee looking at proposals to create a national service, filling a void left by changes to the role of the Scottish Ambulance Service in transporting outpatients. Bill told the Convocation that SAS now restrict their support to people how have a clinical need for the care of a paramedic, or are travelling on a stretcher for the journey. He said that the change could particularly hit the many people who travel several days a week for “grueling” dialysis treatment lasting four to six hours

34 2020: THE WAY AHEAD

The proposal is for St John Scotland to set up a national service for renal dialysis patients, expanding it eventually to include others, such as people needing chemotherapy. The scheme will need the agreement and co-operation of the Scottish Ambulance Service, a comprehensive Area-based recruiting, vetting and training programme for volunteer drivers and capital investment from central funds to buy and brand suitable vehicles.

FIRST AID and MOUNTAIN SAFETY John Ferguson Smith, the chairman of the steering group on First Aid and Mountain Safety, detailed several projects for the Convocation, including the plans for St John Scotland to fund the appointment of a mountain safety instructor who will work with university mountaineering clubs (See also Page 10). John was able to announce that the instructor will be selected early in 2015 and will concentrate on newer members of 15 university clubs, which are affiliated to the St John Scotland’s partners in the project, the Mountaineering Council. It is planned to deliver the instruction while the clubs are in the Scottish mountains early in the season, so that “freshers” can benefit before they face the potential dangers of winter climbing. It is also proposed that the opportunity is taken to build in courses in emergency first aid training. First aid training also plays a central part in the committee’s other proposals. John announced that St John Scotland is in talks with the Scottish Golf Union, having been asked to donate defibrillators to each if the venues for the sport’s 18 regional events held annually north of the Border. The idea of tailoring first aid training to deal with golf-related injuries is also being investigated. A growing number of St John Scotland Areas are now involved in supplying branded defibrillators for use in public places: Edinburgh hopes soon to have two located in Waverley Station, for use by staff and the general public. The Scottish ambulance Service is mapping the location of defibrillators across Scotland, so that callers can be directed to the nearest one in an emergency. St John Glasgow is providing Neilston and Uplawmoor First Responders with a mobile application, a personal digital assistant, a device that helps find isolated locations and can be used to inform the ambulance service of the condition of the patient. St John Highland is providing Point First Responders with two branded CPR meters.

A CARING CALLER SERVICE Kenneth Miller, chairman of the steering group on the St John Scotland Caring Caller service, sparked lively debate and went away with plenty of ideas, when he outlined the proposals for

35 2020: THE WAY AHEAD a Caring Caller service to the Convocation. Designed to combat the health issues caused by loneliness and isolation, the service would involve volunteers making regular telephone calls to vulnerable individuals, for a friendly chat, but also to ensure they are well and in the event of problems, refer them to the appropriate help. The steering group would work with local authorities to ensure referrals are properly directed. A similar scheme already operating in New Zealand has shown that, when the same volunteer calls the same individual every time, a strong rapport soon develops, especially if caller and client share common interests. The steering group believes that the cost of calls should be covered by St John Scotland through a central line, which can only be accessed with a password. It also recommends the volunteer callers should get opportunities to meet to share experiences and that the callers have someone specific to turn to for guidance and support in the event of problems arising. The focus group session recommended that the proposal should be the subject of an extensive trial, during which volunteers would call suitable and willing members of St John Scotland.

ST JOHN SCOTLAND COMMITTEE REPORTS Following “Polmont 1”, the Convocation that laid out the road map to 2020, the committee structure has been strengthened and given the responsibility of overseeing the process of change. The following reports give a flavour of what has been achieved thus far.

The Fundraising Committee Raising funds for the continuance of the good deeds undertaken by St John Scotland should be the aim of every member. Without income, our ability to help people in need would diminish and eventually cease. Prior has set the goal of raising £2 million by 2020 in support of our current commitments and to provide even more assistance to those in need at home and overseas.

This is where the Fundraising Committee gets its motivation to consider, promote and encourage all methods of raising income, while encouraging an awareness of St John Scotland to a wider public. We quickly established a need to re-invigorate activity at Area and National level while seeking new ideas and promoting better lines of communication between the committee and Areas.

A 2015 calendar is our first major enterprise. It is on sale through Areas on a profit sharing basis.

36 2020: THE WAY AHEAD

Areas are encouraged to enlist local commercial outlets to sell on our behalf. By targeting the widest possible market, the aim is to have “St John Scotland” instantly recognised. Members are recommended to buy for themselves or as gifts. Reports from purchasers indicate that copies are being sent overseas as gifts.

Modern technology now offers a vast range of ways to donate. Favoured by younger givers, but steadily growing as more of us acquire mobile devices, this method of giving is increasing in popularity. The Committee recommend regular use of the St John Scotland website and in particular the link to “Just Giving.” New leaflets are being produced in collaboration with the Communications Committee with one concentrating on leaving a donation through a legacy. No matter which method of giving is favoured, please remember to “Gift Aid” it as this automatically increases the value of the contribution.

A profitable way to attract income is by selling branded merchandise. In the past a drawback has been the outlay required to purchase relatively small quantities of items at an advantageous price. The Fundraising Committee set up a merchandising sub-group with the task of tackling this problem by identifying and sourcing items which, when purchased in sufficient quantities and at acceptable prices, would allow for profit. Members got their first opportunity to see a small sample of items at the 2014 Convocation. Longer term a more comprehensive range of goods will available to Areas and the general public. Initially stock will be held at St John’s House with Susan and Margaret Balfour being the contacts for those wishing to purchase, especially in bulk. Our latest venture is with individuals who are willing to compete in a variety of fund raising events representing St John Scotland. They will be provided with one of our vests and are expected to raise funds for us through sponsorship. Our first volunteer took part in the Loch Lomond Triathlon (see the Dunbartonshire Area Activity Report). This venture will continue on a trial basis with the effectiveness being closely monitored.

It is particularly pleasing that Areas are responding to a request to appoint their own Fundraising Representatives. Great store is being placed in the first meeting of this group which, hopefully, will lead to a greater understanding of our mutual needs and aims, co- operation between Areas and also with the Fundraising Committee, while planning for the future with financial benefits to both Areas and the Order.

The Communications Committee

It has been a busy year for the Communications Committee following the adoption of the new logo and the rebranding as St John Scotland. This committee is responsible for the St John Scotland website and Facebook page, and keeping both continually updated is a weekly, sometimes daily exercise. Both are contributing greatly to raising public awareness of the local, national, and international work of the Order.

37 2020: THE WAY AHEAD

Written contributions and images are always welcome. Other tasks include producing the In Focus newsletters and this Yearbook. Much of the work this year has focused on mountain rescue, and in Scotland this is very much a changing scene. Through our PR consultant, Colin Adams, we have offered help to the Mountain Rescue Committee for Scotland and the individual teams in preparing and issuing press releases, and given guidance on the use of the St John Scotland logo on press releases and vehicles. It is fair to say that the mountain rescue community fully appreciates the massive amount of support the Order has provided, and they are now very receptive to helping us to raise the profile of St John Scotland. We have worked closely with the Fundraising Committee on both the provision of more and better St John Scotland merchandise and giveaways, and on the St John Scotland presence at the Scottish Mountain Rescue Conference in Aviemore this September, for which a special recruitment leaflet, adaptable for general, use was prepared. Colin Adams issued press releases whenever required and topics this year have included the success story of the Glasgow neonatal ambulance, the Organ Donor Awards, the Festival in Edinburgh, and handing over of bases and vehicles. Articles about St John Scotland were written for and published in two mountaineering magazines. A PR Crisis Management Policy has been prepared and awaits adoption, and we have been consulted on other Priory policy documents currently being updated. A speaker’s pack has been developed and presented at the Convocation. A cuttings service has been engaged, giving a check on where, when and how press releases are used. On the advice of the Youth Engagement Committee, it was decided not to open a Twitter account at this time.

The Area Affairs Committee The Area Affairs Committee is set up to act as a two-way conduit between Chapter and the twelve local Areas. It stands outwith the Chapter Committee structure and comprises the chairpersons of all local Area committees. The Committee chairman is the Chancellor. At meetings, members are able to present their own Area`s activities and to hear about the activities of other Areas, thus providing opportunities for Areas to learn from one another and to act jointly for their mutual benefit. In addition, the meetings give the Chancellor the opportunity to keep Areas abreast of what is happening at Chapter, and to receive suggestions from Areas, which he will take back to Chapter. By this process it is intended that all members of St John Scotland, through their own Area representatives, will feel that they can contribute to what St John Scotland does internationally, nationally and locally. In effect it allows St John Scotland to act and be seen to act, as a single entity. In September 2014, Chapter donated to the St John Ophthalmic hospital in Jerusalem the whole purchase price of their new clinic premises in central Hebron. The clinic will be badged to show St John Scotland`s part in this venture. One of the factors that persuaded Chapter to assist, was the opinion of Area chairpersons, expressed at an earlier Area Affairs Committee meeting, that in the event that Chapter ever had to cut back on its financial support for the

38 2020: THE WAY AHEAD whole range of the charities that it helps, then the last charity to be cut should be the St John Hospital. This is a good example of how the views of Areas are taken into account by Chapter. Significant issues discussed and undertaken during the year were the national St John calendar for 2015, arrangements for the provision of St John-branded merchandise available for sale, and the provision of St John Scotland outdoor jackets for use at events and in operations such as patient transport. Janet Knox takes up the post of Area Liaison Officer from 1st December. In that role, she will be able to assist Area committees to continue and, if possible, improve upon, their existing activities and also to take up some or any of the new St John activities being promoted by Chapter.

Honours and Awards Committee Under the Priory`s Rules, Chapter is required to consider nominations for admission to and promotion within the Order of St John. This work is undertaken by the Honours and Awards Committee, which also deals with other issues relating to the chivalric aspect of our Order. Because of the sensitive nature of its business, the Committee conducts its meetings in private. All Nomination forms are carefully scrutinised by the Committee. Successful applications are then sent to the St John International Office in London for their further consideration and thereafter those considered worthy are submitted to HM the Queen for her royal sanction. At our annual Festival in June, the appointment of one person as Knight was announced and our Prior formally installed three Commanders, four Officers and nine Members. On the same occasion, the Order`s Long Service Medal with bars representing exceptionally long periods of service, was presented to two of our existing members.

Nominations and Staffing Committee This is one of the new Sub-committees of Chapter, which was set up during the year. Its remit is to deal with matters relating to membership of Chapter and all staff issues. It is intended that the Committee will meet twice a year and more frequently, if necessary. In 2014, Donald Fullarton and Allan Stewart were appointed as Chapter members. Donald`s expertise lies in communications and the media and Allan`s in accountancy and finance. Donald has been appointed as Chairman of the Communications Committee whilst Allan has joined the Finance and general Purposes Committee. With regard to our staff, Richard Waller and Audrey Leighton have both left us after many years of dedicated service. Chapter has appointed Tom McFarlane in the new post of Business Manager and Alan Lees as our Administrator. Both posts are full-time. Tom and Alan have considerable experience in operating within the charitable sector. Janet Knox will move to the new position of Area Liaison Officer. During the year Chapter has also been greatly assisted by Karen Carlton our expert contractor who has done much to assist with the implementation of the recommendations of the recent governance review including in particular, the evolution of our strategic objectives for the period to 2020. Finally, our thanks to Helen, our temporary assistant, for her help in keeping the office running efficiently.

39 2013 NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL EVENTS

Grand Council, Toronto

The truly global scale of St John was well illustrated when representatives of no fewer than 41 countries, Priories and Associations, gathered in Toronto, Canada, in May for the annual meeting of the Grand Council. Participating for the first time were the Deputy Prior of St John Kenya and the Prior of St John Singapore, which were previously among the Associations.

A notable presence for part of the event was Archbishop Desmond Tutu, there in his capacity as Prior of the Priory of South Africa.

The Prior, Sir Malcolm Ross and the Chancellor, Douglas Dow represented St John Scotland and attended a series of plenary sessions over two days and a variety of meetings where they were able to meet participants from all over the world and hear, not only what they are achieving in their home countries, but what they would like to discuss at the 2015 annual Grand Council in Edinburgh.

Grand Council pledged its continued support to the Mother and Baby programme in Africa and among many other topics, discussed the impact of technology on communication, recognising that what affects St John in one country can affect many others and that in the interests of all, standards must be maintained everywhere.

There was also a constructive debate about removing the constitutional distinction between Priories and St John Associations. At present, Associations have only observer status at Grand Council, but there is a widespread feeling that their growth will see increasing pressure for change.

40 The visit to Canada was not all work: Sir Malcolm with Lady Susie and Douglas with wife Alice got the opportunity to visit Niagara Falls. A picture of them suitably wrapped up against the incessant spray can be seen on the St John Scotland news website: www.stjohnscotland.org. uk/index.php/news

Both couples also enjoyed a dinner for hosts and guests at a revolving restaurant, 1,800 feet above ground at the top of the CN tower, and a formal dinner hosted by His Excellency David Johnston, the Governor General and Prior of Canada.

Installation of the Lord Prior, London

In November, three senior members of St John Scotland joined three dozen Order officers to assist in ceremonial duties at the installation of the 17th Lord Prior, Dr Neil Conn AO, by the Grand Prior, HRH the Duke of Gloucester.

Director of Ceremonies Gordon Casely and assistant directors James Bingham and Lawson Rennie, each had a specific task to undertake at the ceremony in the Priory Church of the Order of St John in Clerkenwell, in the presence of representatives from ten Priories from around the world.

41 Gordon, carrying the banner of the Priory of Scotland, led in the Prior, Sir Malcolm Ross, while, in the absence of representatives of Kenya, James bore the banner of the Priory of Kenya while Lawson carried the personal banner of Bailiff Grand Cross, Sir James Stirling of Garden, St John Scotland’s former Prior.

A distinguished Australian, Dr Conn is as Lord Prior, the third most senior individual in the Order after HM the Queen as Sovereign Head, and the Duke as Grand Prior.

He succeeds Professor Anthony Meadows who is credited with shaping the Order in its present form.

Dr Conn becomes principal advisor to the Grand Prior and deputises for him when necessary. He is also head of the Order in matters of chivalry.

Speaking after his installation, Dr Conn spoke of the idea of “One St John”, which he said is the representation of international federations, individuals, paid staff and volunteers working in synergy in the service of humanity.

St John Scotland Festival 2014

The Festival of St John, held in June in Edinburgh, literally stopped the traffic, briefly, on the Capital’s famous Royal Mile as Chapter, Priory Officers and Postulants processed from St John’s House to the venerable and beautiful Canongate Kirk.

During the service seven postulants were welcomed as members of St John Scotland and there were promotions for eight more. One of the highlights of the ceremony was the Prior’s announcement that Bill Spence, the recently retired chairman of Angus and Dundee, had been promoted to Knight. It will be next autumn before Bill travels to London for a ceremony marking his elevation.

42 The Prior, Sir Malcolm Ross, used his address to the Festival lunch to give an interim report on progress to reach the targets he set out at the 2013 Polmont Convocation, to a gathering of 200 members, volunteers and supporters (See also, 2020: the way ahead).

The 2015 Festival will be held in Glasgow on Friday June 26.

St John Scotland organ donor award

St John Scotland has once again posthumously honoured the organ donors who in in the past year gave the gift of life to others. The second annual presentation to families and friends drew 200 people from across Scotland and Ireland.

The St John Scotland award was presented to the loved ones of 61 donors in a moving ceremony at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Edinburgh. The simple badges, which bear the Cross of St John and the words “Add life, give hope”, were handed over by the Prior, Sir Malcolm Ross.

43 Sir Malcolm said: “The donors and their families are an inspiration to all of us. For each of the thousands of people in the UK who wait for a transplant, the donation of an organ is literally life transforming.

“We in St John know how important organ transplant is, so it is appropriate to say ‘thank you’ to the families, who respected the wishes of your loved ones and gave the final permission for organ donation to take place, so that others might live.”

The awards ceremony is jointly organised by St John Scotland and NHS Blood and Transplant. Surgeon Professor John Forsythe, told the audience: “If only you could see the recipients before and after. They are so very ill, then, thanks to your loved ones, they have life again.”

A transplant recipient, Edinburgh businesswoman Gillian Hollis said that she suffered a progressive lung illness, which she called a “living death” as her chances of survival were “zero”, but she added: “My lung transplant has been a miracle and now I have a new life.”

The families and friends who attended the ceremony were later among the first to visit a new national memorial garden to organ donors, opened just the day before in the grounds of the Royal Botanic Garden.

44 GOVERNANCE OF THE ORDER

The Order of St John is a separate body from its Priories and other establishments and is registered with the Charity Commission of England & Wales. The Trustees are the Great Officers of the Order, the Priors of each Priory or their appointed representative, and the Order Hospitaller and together they form the Grand Council. Grand Council meets once per year and deals with matters beyond the responsibility of any one particular establishment, including Order-wide policy and strategy. The Great Officers and the Grand Council are supported by the Secretary-General, who heads a small Secretariat in London. Each of the Priories, Commanderies and St John Associations has its own constitution. They are subject to the Charter, Statutes and Regulations of the Order, but within that they have a wide degree of autonomy.

72 IN GRATEFUL MEMORY

St John Scotland lost several prominent members in the past year. Gordon Casely looks back briefly at the lives and service of five of them:

Very Rev Prof Robin Barbour KCVO ChStJ MC MA BD STM DD Academic, military hero and knight Born: 11 May, 1921, in Edinburgh. Died: 18 October, 2014, in Perth, aged 93

Robert Alexander Stewart Barbour (always known as Robin) was one of the outstanding churchmen of the 20th-century. Educated at Cargilfield and Rugby, he was, as a Presbyterian, confirmed into the Church of England.

His studies were interrupted by the Second World War but distinguished service in the Italian campaign saw him gain the Military Cross. By 1953, with a double first in classics and philosophy at Oxford, divinity at Edinburgh and a period at Yale behind him, Robin was ordained into the Kirk. It was no surprise that Robin was recruited to the panel of Biblical scholars assembled to translate the New English Bible (published in 1961). By 1971, he had become Professor of New Testament Exegesis in Aberdeen University.

In 1981 the Queen appointed him Dean of the Chapel Royal, and for the next decade, the Queen, who greatly valued his advice, drew on his wide experience of the Church. On resignation in 1991, Prof Barbour was appointed KCVO, as befits a retiring Dean of the Chapel Royal in Scotland. Appointed to the rank of Chaplain in the Order, Robin became involved in many annual festivals.

PETER DRUMMOND-MURRAY OF MASTRICK KStJ KM Businessman and private herald Born: 24 November 1929, in Littlehampton, Sussex; Died: 13 April 2014, in Edinburgh, aged 84.

Peter Drummond-Murray of Mastrick was the distinguished Edinburgh businessman whose eclectic breadth of interests ranged through writing and historical research to baking, brewing and bookplates. He had an encyclopaedic knowledge of heraldry and genealogy.

William Edward Peter Louis Drummond-Murray of Mastrick was educated at the Jesuit college of Beaumont in Berkshire. His successful business career was based on fund management though He originally started in stockbroking.

73 Long involved with St John in Scotland, Peter was appointed knight in 1977. Heraldry and chivalry were Peter’s fascination, and he wrote learnedly on the former. In the latter, his strong Christian faith saw him involved over many years with the Roman Catholic Order of Malta. A knight of the Order, he was appointed Bailiff Grand Cross two years ago, one of the few in the UK to receive this accolade. He took chivalric responsibilities to heart, directing the order in charitable work and fund-raising, and promoting means to help youngsters in need.

He grew up with heraldry and was also an ardent though realistic Jacobite. In 1982 when appointed Slains Pursuivant, the personal herald to Sir Merlin Hay, 24th Earl of Erroll, he became one of only four such private heralds in Scotland.

A superbly grand gentleman, Peter’s stern visage could disguise someone whose love for life yielded to no one.

Archie Russell KStJ Businessman and master fundraiser Born: 18 July 1926 Died 9 September 2014

For Archibald Russell, who died in September in his 89th year, the Order of St John was a lifetime hobby and principal interest. He joined in 1970 and In 44 years of undiminished service, was chairman of Central Area for three decades, and served on Chapter for longer than most of us can recall.

Founding secretary of Central, Archie took the long view from the start, using his contacts within the construction industry to aid major projects within that area of Central Scotland where he was born and lived, worked and eventually died.

He was the driving force behind the fundraising and construction of the St John retirement complex at Polmont. He not only led the funding and building of St John Scotland’s Sir Andrew Murray holiday home in Strathyre but arranged for construction to be undertaken under his supervision, by young offenders from Polmont Borstal.

Strathcarron Hospice in Denny was a beneficiary from fund raising led by Archie, moves which resulted in the supply of the patient-transport vehicles and the creation of a £40,000 day room.

In academia, Archie led moves to enabled Stirling University to establish the Iris Murdoch Foundation, with £10,000 coming from St John Scotland

Archie unsurprisingly sped up through the ranks, being created a knight within 11 years of being invested as a Member, such was his service to St John locally and nationally. For his last seven years, he held the position of honorary president in Central Area.

74 ANNE ROBINSON DStJ Mrs Anne W Robinson was a long-time supporter of St John Scotland. From her Highland home of Kilcoy Castle near Muir of Ord in Ross-shire, she maintained a keen and active interest in Order affairs. Her warm welcome as a hostess belied the private person that she was.

Mrs Robinson had moved from Scotland to the United States of America, where she had family links in setting up St John. She was introduced to the Order in the US, ultimately reaching the rank of Dame. Returning to Scotland in 1987, she settled in Easter Ross, bringing with her North American charm, as well as a deserved and well-remembered reputation as a spirited and informed conversationalist.

She ultimately transferred to St John Scotland in 2009, though for years before, she became a regular and generous contributor to both mountain rescue and to the St John Eye Hospital in Jerusalem.

In paying tribute to her, Bob Fullerton, chairman of Highland Area, said: “My wife Gwen and daughter Kirsty had the pleasure of knowing Anne for a number of years. She will be remembered both as a friend and benefactor to many, including St John Highland.”

In her latter years, Anne had become infirm, but greatly appreciated visits from her friends in St John Scotland.

GEORGINA SCOTT SUTHERLAND Born: 28 November, 1918, in Glasgow; Died: 14 May, 2014, in Aberdeen, aged 95.

When the young Georgina Buchanan met her future husband on a post- war boat to Australia, it marked the start of a partnership that would ultimately foster the careers of countless young architects. She was the young secretary to the Governor of Hong Kong; he was Tom Scott Sutherland, already a successful architect, businessman and councillor in Aberdeen.

Tommy and Ina married in 1950 and lived in Garthdee House by the river Dee. In 1953, they gifted the sprawling mansion to become what is now the Scott Sutherland School of Architecture. After Tommy’s death in the early 1960s, Ina’s continued support for the school led to the library of what is now Robert Gordon University being dedicated to her.

A born philanthropist, Ina’s involvement in St John came about almost from the start of the Order in Aberdeen, and at her death, she was Aberdeen’s longest-serving member. Invested as Serving Sister in 1954, she moved through the ranks of officer and commander, rightly taking great pride in being appointed Dame in 1979.

Ina was a spirited individual and an intrepid traveller in all of the continents. She was in her 80th year when she visited Antarctica and took a dip in the Antarctic Ocean, typically swimming out

75 far beyond her fellow travellers.

She generously supported both the architectural school and St John, with her pioneering work also helping to create the St John Nursing home in Aberdeen. She was one of those instrumental in establishing the St John Mountain Rescue Team in Aberdeen. For many years, the team operated out of a garage behind the nursing home.
