This resulted in the removal of the single battalion Regiments and the forming of The Royal Regiment of Scotland and last year, at Holyrood Park, our old Colours were marched off parade in the presence of Her Majesty the Queen. On 23 June 2012 the final military act in the life of the Regiment was executed. The Laying Up of Colours Parade and Service which took place in Perth brought to a close 267 years of history and it was fitting that the final parade should be held on the banks of the River Tay 272 years after the first muster at Aberfeldy. As well as the Colours of the 1st Battalion The Black Watch (Royal Highland Regiment), those of 1st Battalion 51st Highland Volunteers were also Laid Up. The latter Battalion was originally formed from the famous Black Watch Territorial Battalions, the 4th (City of Dundee), 5th (Angus), 6th (Perthshire) and 7th (Fife) as well as from other Highland Regiments. Led by a massed Pipes and Drums, the parade numbered well over 450 marching person- nel and between 800 and 1000 people attended the Church Service which was held beside the 51st Highland Division Memorial on the North Inch. The Regimental Family turned out in force and the whole day was carried out with great dignity and style. The occa- sion was greatly enhanced by the presence of a strong detachment of The Black Watch of Canada, including the Honorary Colonel, Colonel Daniel O’Connor and the Commanding Officer, Lieutenant Colonel Bruno Plourde. They all looked resplendent in No1 Dress The Chronicle of and reminded us of better days. A full report and copies of the sermon and speeches are The Black Watch recorded in this Edition. (Royal Highland Regiment) The parade and service were followed by the launch of Volume 1 of the new its successor Regimental History, “The Highland Furies”. Victoria Schofield the author gave a short The Black Watch, 3rd Battalion talk and was on hand to sign copies of this most well written and researched history. We now look forward to 2015 and the publication of the second and final volume. At the The Royal Regiment of Scotland same event Colonel O’Connor presented a picture to the Museum. It celebrated the The Affiliated Regiments 150th anniversary of the formation of The Black Watch of Canada. Running and concurrently with the Book Launch, a very successful Reunion was held in the Bells’ The Black Watch Association Sports Centre. It was so successful that the bar had to be re-stocked on no less than three occasions!

  • The Birth of BBC Radio 4'S Analysis

    The Birth of BBC Radio 4'S Analysis

    The Birth of BBC Radio 4’s Analysis Hugh Chignell Hugh Chignell (Ph.D., Bournemouth University, 2005) is a Senior Lecturer in the Bournemouth Media School, Bournemouth University, United Kingdom. His research interests include broadcasting history with special reference to radio and radio archives. He is Chair of the (UK) Southern Broadcasting History Group. BBC Radio 4’s ‘Analysis’ was first broadcast in 1970 and represented a striking departure from the tendency to combine news and comment in radio current affairs. It was created by a small network of broadcasters who believed that current affairs was distinct from radio journalism. The publication of the controversial document ‘Broadcasting in the Seventies’ in 1969 and the outcry which followed it gave this group their opportunity to produce an elite form of radio. INTRODUCTION This article attempts to answer a series of very specific questions. Why was the flag ship BBC radio current affairs program, Analysis created when it was? What specific interpretation of ‘current affairs radio’ did it embody and what made its birth possible? And finally, who created it? Drawing mainly on interview evidence and memoirs of former BBC staff it is possible to answer these questions with some precision and to show the broadcasting context (the BBC in the 1960s) in which the conception of Analysis took place. It is not the intention here to describe the specific nature of the program’s account of current affairs or its decidedly right-leaning politics. This is a case study of how two men, George Fischer and Ian McIntyre, saw their opportunity to buck the populist trend in radio and impose their conservative and Reithian broadcasting values in this elitist experiment in current affairs radio.

    1 The 42nd Royal Highlanders America’s premier band of pipes, fifes, and drums Annual Newsletter 2013 XLII Greetings from the 42nd! -This year’s newsletter will focus on the band’s recently-completed Tour of Scot- land from June 19-27. This was truly a trip of a lifetime and we hope to tell all about the lead-in to the trip and what all the band accomplished during the tour. Yours Aye, Preston Smith President Tour of Scotland For decades, while performing all around the United States, the 42nd band has dreamed of traveling to and performing in Scotland. In the years leading up to and following the release of “No Matter What the Season”, the band’s marching and musicianship had improved to the point where, in 2011 - following the sale of the Griffin House and creation of the Griffin Endowment - the men of the 42nd set a goal to finally reach Scotland in 2013. Scotland Tour Group, Edinburgh Castle Since setting our sights on Scotland, the band has redoubled its efforts in many areas: maintaining and improving uniforms, acquiring matched chanters to improve the sound of the pipes, repaint- ing drums, upgrading the Regimental Colors (thanks to fifer Josh Rose for the painting of the regimental device!), Arranging new sets of music, working on marching, drill, and deportment, and developing a fundraising plan to make it all possible - primarily centered around playing for the public as much as possible. In the year before leaving for Scotland, the band traveled from the Straits of Mackinaw to the Gulf Coast, and put on nearly 30 perfor- mances.

    Diocese in Europe Prayer Diary, July to December 2011

    DIOCESE IN EUROPE PRAYER DIARY, JULY TO DECEMBER 2011 This calendar has been compiled to help us to pray together for one another and for our common concerns. Each chaplaincy, with the communities it serves, is remembered in prayer once a year, according to the following pattern: Eastern Archdeaconry - January, February Archdeaconry of France - March, April Archdeaconry of Gibraltar - May, June Diocesan Staff - July Italy & Malta Archdeaconry - July Archdeaconry of North West Europe - August, September Archdeaconry of Germany and Northern Europe Nordic and Baltic Deanery - September, October Germany - November Swiss Archdeaconry - November, December Each Archdeaconry, with its Archdeacon, is remembered on a Sunday. On the other Sundays, we pray for subjects which affect all of us (e.g. reconciliation, on Remembrance Sunday), or which have local applications for most of us (e.g. the local cathedral or cathedrals). Some chaplains might like to include prayers for the other chaplaincies in their deanery. We also include the Anglican Cycle of Prayer (daily, www.aco.org), the World Council of Churches prayer cycle (weekly, www.oikoumene.org, prayer resources on site), the Porvoo Cycle (weekly, www.porvoochurches.org), and festivals and commemorations from the Common Worship Lectionary (www.churchofengland.org/prayer-worship/worship/texts.aspx). Sundays and Festivals, printed in bold type, have special readings in the Common Worship Lectionary. Lesser Festivals, printed in normal type, have collects in the Common Worship Lectionary. Commemorations, printed in italics, may have collects in Exciting Holiness, and additional, non- biblical, readings for all of these may be found in Celebrating the Saints (both SCM-Canterbury Press).
