“The Elder Echo” (Cluny Lodge & Chamberlain) “The Elder Echo” (Cluny Lodge & Chamberlain) Guess who has been Tattie Howking! We have gone for Quality not Quantity! Mrs Jo Samuel, Dr Austen Gardiner & Mrs Beryl Deans of the Garden Club at Cluny Lodge. September, 2013 Quote: It is even harder for the average Ape to believe that he has descended from Man. H. L. Mencken Dear Friends And no, H. L. Mencken was not a woman!! Just thought I better get that point cleared before we go any further! What another busy three months we have had with concerts, strawberry teas, trips on the Canal, trips to the Borders to visit Abbotsford House, the Edinburgh Tattoo Rehearsal - not to mention our usual outings to Scots Pine Tearooms in Eddleston, Merryhatton Garden Centre in East Fortune, Railbridge Bistro in South Queensferry and Musselburgh for Ice-Cream, Kingswood Hotel in Burntisland, Kings Acre Golf Club in Lasswade to name but a few. On the ‘quieter’ side we have enjoyed French Wine & Cheese Evenings, a series of talks on famous Artists, a series of talks on Whisky Smuggling in the Highlands - the list goes on - oh yes and visits from the animals at Zoolab. Storytelling and Poetry Readings with a few good comedies and excellent documentaries thrown in for good measure. The weather over the Summer has been ‘one out of the bag’ - sometimes too hot - but this has allowed us to get out and about more as well as enjoying sitting in the gardens and going for walks - who said it always rains in Scotland? So what is coming up? A trip on the boat on the Falkirk Wheel, through the Antonine Wall along the Canal and its locks, watching the scenery go by as we enjoy afternoon tea. Halloween just around the corner with all the excuse we need for a ‘full of nonsense and fun’ time. Then in November we have the Christmas Fayre (I know, I don’t want to think about Christmas just yet either). A Macmillan Afternoon Tea at Cluny Lodge on Wednesday 25th September at 2.15 pm this is a fundraiser for the Macmillan Cancer Support Charity and there will be a donation bucket at the door - family and friends most welcome. The Annual Macmillan Coffee Morning is being held two days later at various venues throughout the UK - last year 115,000 people were involved and raised a record £15 million. As it isn’t suitable for us to hold a ‘Coffee Morning’ on the dedicated date we thought we would do our bit to help by having an ‘Afternoon Tea’ - so tell your family and friends and see how much we can raise for this tremendous charity. 2 Building Alterations & Decorating Cluny Lodge: New Roof Lawn The artificial turf placed on the flat roof outside Balmoral Dining Room which we reported on in the last Elder Echo, has now been extended to cover all the flat roof area - this has now been completed. Balmoral Assisted Bathroom This bathroom situated by the Dining Room in Balmoral is in the process of being upgraded and when completed will have a shower wet-room facility beside the bath. Balmoral - Room 51 The upgrade has taken place to the ensuite in this room. The Maintenance Manager and Staff appreciate the co-operation of the Residents, Staff and Visitors that is shown during the unavoidable disruptions that can occur from time to time. Remember, if any Resident or Relative has any questions regarding work being undertaken, please do not hesitate to speak to the relevant Unit Manager or ask to see Mrs Fay Angus-Knowles or Mr Jim Gordon. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Memorial Service For sometime now at Cluny Lodge, we have discussed at various Resident’s Meetings and with those who do not attend the meetings for whatever reason - how they felt would be the most appropriate way in marking the passing on of Residents. As a result of the passing of Mrs Ruth Thomson, this once again was discussed as Ruth herself was always very supportive in trying to create a meaningful way of recognising the fact that each and every Resident to us here is not just a name or a number - everyone in their own unique way contributes to what is Cluny Lodge. It has been decided that a ‘Celebration of Life’ will be held every three months to mark the passing of those in the previous three months - the months will be the same as the Elder Echo Newsletter. Our first service will be Sunday 22nd September at 2.00 pm in Argyll Main Dining Room where afterwards we will enjoy afternoon tea - everybody is very welcome including family and friends. 3 New Appointment General Manager, Elder Homes Mrs Fay Angus-Knowles has recently been appointed as the General Manager of both Cluny Lodge and Chamberlain Care Home. Born and educated in Aberdeen, Fay set off at the age of 19 travelling to many countries where she gained wide experience in different aspects of the Hospitality Industry - Spain, Italy, France to name a few, during this time Fay was able to hone her skills in Cooking something that she really enjoys, oh yes Red Wine too! Travelling is high on Fay’s interests and of course languages go hand in hand with this. On her return to the UK, Fay worked in the Management of the Corporate Entertainment area with many prestigious companies including the Carnegie Hospitality and the contract for the World Rugby Cup, Invergorden Distillery - PA for Marketing Director before becoming the International Assistant for the Export Department. Fay managed Lennoxlove House at Haddington for the Duke of Hamilton for nearly eight years - Weddings, Corporate Events and the Hotel side. Archerfield House the Country Retreat near North Berwick which is also used for Weddings, Golf and Corporates - Fay was Manager here for eight years prior to joining Elder Homes. Fay and her partner live on the sea front at Portobello, they also have a home in Tuscany which they are at present renovating and redecorating. When I spoke to Fay, she said how much she is looking forward to working at Elder Homes - especially the hotel side at both Cluny Lodge and Chamberlain. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SVQ - Scottish Vocational Qualifications Mrs Lee Baines - Unit Manager at Chamberlain, obtained SVQ in Management and Leadership in July ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dementia Just a reminder - there is a Library of Books, DVD’s and Leaflets on Dementia which has been set up for Staff, Residents, Relatives and Friends to borrow from – this can be found in Chamberlain on the first floor and in Heather Franklin’s Office at Cluny Lodge, please do not hesitate to ask or if you wish to speak to Sheryl Henderson (Balmoral Unit Manager) on the subject, Sheryl is more than welcome to meet with you. 4 Concert at Chamberlain - Gary Copeland entertaining Residents from Cluny Lodge & Chamberlain Dr Austen Gardiner singing - Cluny’s answer to Frank Sinatra. 5 Did You Know? As some of our Residents both at Cluny Lodge and Chamberlain do not originally come from the Morningside-Bruntsfield area we thought this article might be of interest. Edinburgh Ladies Golf Club There was a Golf Course across the road from Blackford Pond which was exclusively for Ladies - The Edinburgh Ladies Golf Club, Blackford Brae. This was in the early 1900’s (South Oswald Road) and was replaced by Astley Ainslie Buildings during the 1920’s. It is recorded: Saturday 7 June, 1902 third competition of the season was held. Miss J G Broun won the scratch prize with a score of 73, Miss Whyte and Miss Watson tied for the net prize with 77. Mr Lindsay was the Secretary and Mr W J Menzies, W.S., was Captain - of the Edinburgh Ladies Club?(So why did the Ladies Golf Club have gentlemen as the Secretary & Captain?)!! Records show that golf was played in Scotland by women hundreds of years ago. Mary Queen of Scots is believed to have played in East Lothian in 1700’s - first description of Ladies Golf competition is recorded in Musselburgh in 1810 between the Town’s ‘Fish Ladies’ Church Hill Theatre Church Hill Theatre, originally Morningside Free Church, was built by Edinburgh Architect Hippolyte Blanc in 1892, he was known for his buildings in Gothic revival style. Edinburgh City Council purchased the building in 1960 and consequently it became the Theatre which we know today. When you are passing, have a look at the two Pillars in front - made out of Pink and Black Granite - the Pink Granite has carved circles representing people, events and the area If you stand on the roadside footpath and look at the Theatre - on The Pillar on the Left you will see - starting at the top: 1] The Initials MS - representing Muriel Spark (author of “The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie”) A spark plug - representing a dynamic community Golf Tee, ball and club heads - representing Golf which it is said to have first been played on Bruntsfield Links 2] Mathematical symbols - representing John Napier (1550-1617) inventor of Logarithms 3] A bee - representing Industry of locals 4] A mouse and a computer - representing the computerised servants of Napier University and around. On the Black Granite spaced between the Pink are the words: (from the top) Greenhill - Merchiston - Boroughmuir On the reverse side of this Pillar: 1] A quill pen - representing local writers 2] The Drunken Doo (dove) - refers to the occasion of John Napier preventing his neighbour’s Doos stealing his corn. 6 3] An artist’s pallet - representing creative arts in the area 4] Sounding holes of a stringed instrument - representing music The Pillar on the Right (as you look at the Theatre) starting from the top to the bottom: 1] Chi-Rho - the Universal Christian symbol 2] The proscenium of a Theatre - representing Church Hill Theatre 3] A Piano Key and a Kipper - representing Morningside life: a piano in the parlour and a kipper in the kitchen.

TEL: 01292 313644 01292 313520 (Office) www.TROONOLD.ORG.UK No. 106 Spring 2019 Foxes Have Holes and Guides have boxes but... The sun was long set and any notion of a dry and clear night was long dispelled when the Guides began to arrive at the Scout Hall. Some prepped a fire in the pit. Others handed out emergency bags which are no more than extra thick oversized bin bags. Still others packed and repacked their sleeping bags. By the time I arrived pea-sized drops were bouncing off the tarmac. It would be a long night before the clouds emptied their tears. The air froze and the winter sun made its cold appearance. These future leaders, doctors, politicians and mothers gave up Netflix and Facebook for one soggy, cold night called the Wee Sleep. They raised no small sum to help eradicate homelessness in Scotland. For these young adventurers what a radical act of empathy: such a wonderful experience in active compassion to sleep a night in another's pain. What is it that Burns says? "O wad some Pow'r the giftie gie us To see oursels as ithers see us!" The Troon Guides Wee Sleep was an affirmative act of selflessness and self-awareness. What a gift to step outside one's awareness, not to see one's folly or vanity, but to feel deeply the brokenness into which too many are forced. What a valuable lesson these young leaders are giving us.

  • Dalrymple Crescent a Snapshot of Victorian Edinburgh
    DALRYMPLE CRESCENT A SNAPSHOT OF VICTORIAN EDINBURGH Joanne Lamb ABOUT THE BOOK A cross-section of life in Edinburgh in the 19th century: This book focuses on a street - Dalrymple Crescent - during that fascinating time. Built in the middle of the 19th century, in this one street came to live eminent men in the field of medicine, science and academia, prosperous merchants and lawyers, The Church, which played such a dominant role in lives of the Victorians, was also well represented. Here were large families and single bachelors, marriages, births and deaths, and tragedies - including murder and bankruptcy. Some residents were drawn to the capital by its booming prosperity from all parts of Scotland, while others reflected the Scottish Diaspora. This book tells the story of the building of the Crescent, and of the people who lived there; and puts it in the context of Edinburgh in the latter half of the 19th century COPYRIGHT First published in 2011 by T & J LAMB, 9 Dalrymple Crescent, Edinburgh EH9 2NU www.dcedin.co.uk This digital edition published in 2020 Text copyright © Joanne Lamb 2011 Foreword copyright © Lord Cullen 2011 All rights reserved.

    Proc Soc Antiq Scot 147 (2017), 219–241 SCOTTISH LETTERING OF THE 16TH CENTURY | 219 DOI: https://doi.org/10.9750/PSAS.147.1247 Scottish Lettering of the 16th century Aidan Harrison1 and Charles J Burnett2 ABSTRACT Surviving visual culture from the early modern period that can be described as particularly Scottish in style is scarce. As a result, any evidence of such artistry is of national significance. The purpose of this article is to draw attention to a form of lettering which was used for the display of short inscriptions and initials in Scotland throughout the 16th century. Surviving examples are almost exclusively carved in relief in durable wood and stone. This distinctive letterform is drawn from the transitional styles which briefly appeared at the end of the 15th century as French artists and scribes transferred their allegiance from their traditional ornate Gothic capitals to the bold, simple Roman forms of the Renaissance. While a number of experimental letterforms fleetingly appeared elsewhere across northern Europe, Scottish scholars absorbed these new influences in France and developed them into a distinctive form which persisted in Scotland for over a century. After its first known appearance at the marriage of King James IV to Margaret Tudor in Edinburgh in 1503, the evidence suggests that the use of Scottish Lettering became confined to Aberdeen and the north-east, primarily in pre-Reformation ecclesiastical applications. Following the Reformation, it became largely restricted to secular and funerary inscriptions. INTRODUCTION original grave-slab of 1577 at Dundee and a 20th- century reproduction at King’s College Chapel, The objective of this study is to draw the Old Aberdeen.

The maps of the AQMAs are available online at http://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/airquality An AQMA is required when a pollutant fails to meet air quality standards which are set by the Scottish Government. Road traffic is by far the greatest contributor to the high concentrations of NO2 in the city. Earlier assessment work has shown that the NO2 contribution from each vehicle class is different within the AQMAs. For example, cars were shown to contribute the most at Glasgow Road AQMA, with buses having the largest impact along some routes in the Central AQMA (London Road, Gorgie Road/Chesser, Princes Street) and HGVs having a significant impact at Bernard Street. Therefore, in order to improve air quality, it will be necessary to keep all motor vehicle classes under review.

Over the fifty-year period that he held the professorship he was to become well-known as a scholar of Anglo-Saxon art and culture, preparing the first comprehensive study of Anglo-Saxon church architecture in England as part of a six volume study of the arts in early England. In 1905 he produced a monograph, The Care of Ancient Monuments (Cambridge, 1905) which provided a comprehensive assessment of the protective systems in place across Europe and America for the protection of ancient buildings and monuments and made strong recommendations for the strengthening of the protective measures in Britain.

The document requires to be read in conjunction with the Updating and Screening Assessment Report for City of Edinburgh Council 2015. This report concludes that steady progress has been achieved with respect to management of emissions from buses and freight via a voluntary approach. However, it is evident that the VERP proposed target of buses to be 100% Euro 5 by the end of October 2015 will not be achieved. Lothian Buses is the main local service provider in Edinburgh. It is anticipated that 66% of the fleet will be Euro 5 or better by December 2015. The company continues to deploy their cleanest vehicles on high- frequency routes that transit AQMAs.
