For purposes o f administration Scotland is divided ” into portions known as Shires o r Counties . Shi re is usually said to be cognate with “ share ” and to mean “ ” is n ow u division , but this derivation disp ted a county is the district which was at o n e time under the jurisdiction a s of a Count . The division goes back far as we have w o f ritten record , although the number Sh ires has varied in c ourse of time and the boun daries have not always o fli c ia l remained the same . Th e who represented the ’ King s a u thority in the shire wa s known a s the Shire reeve or Sh erifl ; and sheriffdoms were modi fied in number and in area from time to time as was found convenient . Thus in 13 0 5 there were at least twenty fi - ve , while at present there are thirty three . s h e rifido m o f Probably , the Edinburgh originally extended over the whole of the Lothians ; later it was “ defined a s a district extending from C olb ra n dspa th (n o w Cockburnspath) o r Edgeb u c klin Brae on the east to the ” water of Avon o n the west ; by limitations made at various times it was reduced till it coincided with the a s 18 0 county now defi ned ; and again , since 7 the Sh erifl' o f Edinburgh exercises jurisdiction over Midlothian , Linlithgow , Haddi n gton , an d Peebles . M . M . 2 MIDLOTHIAN Th e district of Lothian varied in extent from time to time, the name being vaguely applied to the low country south of the Forth as far as the Tweed . The significance of the name is uncertain . It may be derived from the G aelic word for marsh or mire or alluvial land ' or it may be c c mn ec ted with the Saxon word for the ’ léoa a léod people , , or that for a chief, , in which case the term may have been applied to distinguish the Saxon inhabitants of the region from the Celtic tribes among whom they had settled . Whatever its origin the name has had several forms ; the G aels called it Leth ea d ; the S Loth e n e n axons, ; while its Lati form was usually ia Lodon e . Colloquially it was pronounced Lowden , as ’ A ” . S S . in R L tevenson s poem , Lowden abbath Morn Th e name is n ow restricted to the counties of Linlithgow, Edinburgh , and Haddington , which are M id known respectively as West , , and East Lothian . Ecclesiastically, the Synod of Lothian and Tweeddale corresponds roughly to the three civil districts named s with the addition of Peeble shi re and part of Lanarkshire . h a e e a l C a e s . 2 .

One of the points of difference between the bearings of the Royal and Parliamentary Burghs on the one hand and those of the I Police Burghs on the other lies in the fact that the former carry castles and ships to an extent which becomes almost monotonous, while among the latter these bearings are rare. On the other hand, the Police Burghs very frequently assume a charge of which A 079 2 Aberchirder. examples, in the blazonry of the Royal and Parliamentary Burghs, are very rare : this is the cross, derived apparently from the fact that their market-crosses are the most prominent of their ancient monuments.

  • Petitions Committee Response

    Petitions Committee Response

    PE1095/G Franck David Assistant Clerk to the Public Petitions Committee Tower 4, TG.01 The Scottish Parliament Holyrood EH99 1SP Dear Franck David, Public Petitions Committee response. Further to your email of 17th December regarding your request for a response to the petition received by your committee from the Pentland Hills Regional Park. Background information The designation of the Pentland Hills Regional Park was confirmed until September 1986, following the outcome of a public inquiry. The designation was made under section 48(A) of the Countryside (Scotland) Act 1967 .Initially the Pentland Hills Regional Park was operated by Lothian Regional Council who prepared a Subject Local Plan to guide the Pentland Hills Regional Park policies and management. The policies relevant to the Pentland Hills Regional Park contained within the former Lothian Regional Council’s Subject Local Plan were then incorporated into the local plans of the respective three unitary authorities. Pentland Hills Regional Park is currently covered by the City of Edinburgh Council’s Finalised Rural West Edinburgh Local Plan (2003); Midlothian Council’s Adopted Local Plan (2003) and the West Lothian Local Plan Finalised (2005). The aim of Regional Park designation is to cover extensive areas of land, in diverse ownership, where provision for public recreation is given a higher profile by establishing a co-ordinated framework for the integrated management of recreation with traditional land use in close collaboration with local interests. National Planning Policy Guidance (NPPG) 14 (s.21) states that Regional Parks play a valuable role in providing opportunities for urban populations to gain access to attractive areas of countryside for recreation and enjoyment of the natural heritage.

    Scottish Place-Name News No. 34

    No. 34 Spring 2013 The Newsletter of the SCOTTISH PLACE-NAME SOCIETY COMANN AINMEAN-ÀITE NA H-ALBA Defying with a coat of warm pink its sometimes chilly setting nearly 300 metres up on a hillside to the west of upper Lauderdale, is Channelkirk, the parish church for the village of Oxton in north-west Berwickshire. This ‘hidden gem’ of 1817, designed by James Gillespie Graham to replace a much older structure, is not signposted from the main A68 road through Lauderdale. The location was not always so far from the beaten track: it was beside a spring on or very close to Dere Street, the main north-south road built by the Romans and still used long after they had gone. The medieval church was dedicated to St Cuthbert. In a brilliant piece of scholarship in his parish history of 1900, the Rev Archibald Allan disproved notions that the name referred to ‘shingle’ or to ‘children’ (specifically the Holy Innocents). Using a range of sources he showed that of all the wildly variable medieval and later forms Childeschirche was closest to the original sense of ‘church of the cild ’ (youth of high status) Cuðberht ; and the motive for the siting was the belief that this was where the noble-born shepherd lad and future saint had a vision of St Aidan being borne up to heaven by angels after his death on 31 August 651. Oxton is one of those place-names with a treacherously ‘obvious’ explanation. The series Ullfkeliston 1206, Ulkilstoun c1220, Ulkes - 1273, Ugis - 1463 -4, Uxtoun mid 17 th century (Blaeu map) shows that it is based on Ulfkell , a personal name of Scandinavian origin.

EDINBURGH PRINTED FOR THE SOCIETY BY JAMES SKINNER & COMPANY, EDINBURGH ! PRINTED BY JAMES SKINNER AND COMPANY. — 1403857 PREFACE. The various Records, whose contents are indexed in the list now printed, may be divided into three divisions— Genealogies, Birthbriefs and Funeral Escutcheons. The first consists of the Official Register of all Genealogies and Birthbriefs in Scotland, which commences on 3rd Decem- ber 1727. Volume I. ends on 15th January 1796 and Volume TIL begins 1 6th August 1827 and is continued to date. Volume II. is not now in existence, if indeed it ever existed at all. It is not mentioned in an inventory of the Lyon Office Records in 181 9, but several pedigrees, which were intended to be recorded in it, are still preserved in draft in what is called the "Arboretum" or "collection of trees." The names of those as well as others, not now in the Lyon Office though the fees for recording them are entered in the cash book, have been added to the list. These volumes are referred to as G. I., 11. and III. The Birthbriefs and Funeral Escutcheons give the names and in many instances the arms of the parents, grandparents, great-grandparents and great-great-grand- parents, of the person in whose favour they were granted or of the deceased, whose hatchment was, by warrant of the Lord Lyon, painted and placed over the door of his mansion or burial place.

    The Placenames of Midlothian

    THE PLACENAMES OF MIDLOTHIAN ____________ A thesis submitted to the UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH, May 1947, for the degree of Ph.D. by NORMAN DIXON, M.A. (Edin. 1933) ____________ 2 THE PLACENAMES OF MIDLOTHIAN INTRODUCTION The county of Midlothian, formerly called Edinburghshire, resembles in shape an irregular Australian boomerang with its convex side to the north and with its ends turned to the south-east and south-west respectively. It is bounded on the north by the Firth of Forth, on the east by East Lothian, Berwickshire and Roxburgh, on the south by Selkirk, Peebles and Lanarkshire, and on the west by West Lothian. Its limits are partly natural boundaries and partly artificial lines suggested by natural features: the east is bounded by the long ridge of hill-ground commonly called Roman Camp Hill and by the Linn Dean and Brothershiels Burns; the south-east by the fall of the hill- country on either side of the Gala Water; the south by the ranges of the Moorfoots and Southern Pentlands; and the west by the almost continuous water-boundary (broken in the parish of Mid-Calder to include part of Drumshoreland Moor) of the Breich Burn and its parent-stream, the River Almond. The seaboard is about twelve miles in length and the area thus enclosed is roughly 370 square miles. The surface contours of the county show a gradual rise from the coast inland towards the hill-ranges in the south. A coastal plain of a width varying upwards /p. 2/ from three miles in the east is part of a continuous belt of coastal plain stretching through the three Lothians as far west as Stirling, and providing from earliest times one of the chief means of ingress to Lothian and Edinburgh from the south.
