Hi all, the wonderful world of Scottish history, culture and current happenings.. I particularly like the debate surrounding the naming of second crossing bridge on the Forth River "Strong Feelings on Bridge Name", I love one of the very odd suggestions, see below, maybe some of you have ideas for its name, have a go !! What would we do without ultra-sound in modern medicine, obstetrics and midwifery - to think a Scot invented it, publishing his research in 1958. Lastly, have a squizz a the last item, an offering of that great Highland philosopher, Lachlan McLachlan with a link to the rest of his musings.

The government-backed council predicts that > shortage of labour will drive up wages, make our exports less > competitive, and wreck the economy. To counteract this and save the > economy from collapse, it is argued that Scotland needs to attract > 20,000 immigrants a year. Their estimates are more pessimistic than > those published recently by the Registrar General for Scotland. These > estimated that the current population of 5.12 million would rise to > 5.37 million by 2031, with births peaking then at 57,600. But the ESRC > report suggests that the recent annual increase in population (which > the Registrar uses to estimate future population) may be a blip on the > long-term population decline which has prevailed for several decades. > The report examines the reasons why Scottish birth rates are the > lowest in the UK. It points out that Scotland is becoming a nation of > small families, because of the demands of work or worries about their > finances and living conditions. They are most likely to stop when they > have two children, compared with English women, more of whom go on to > have three or four. > Strong Feelings on Bridge Name > When the original bridge across the river Forth at Kincardine-on-Forth > in Fife was opened in 1936, there was probably no dispute about > calling it the Kincardine Bridge. The second crossing, a short > distance further up-river, is proving to be more problematic. After a > lot of lobbying, the new bridge makes its northern landfall in > Clackmannanshire, the smallest county in Scotland. The local council > there naturally believe that the crossing should be named the > "Clackmannan Bridge". Meantime, Fife councillors want it named after > their area as "Kingdom Bridge". The county is often referred to as the > "Kingdom of Fife" as it was at one time a Pictish Kingdom. Of course, > Falkirk Council at the southern end of the bridge has had to enter the > fray too. So the Transport Minister in Edinburgh is inviting people in > the three counties to make their own suggestions. Already, some odd > names have been put forward, such as "Bridge at Jones Diary" (If you > don't know the book and "Bridget Jones's Diary" that one will go right > over your head). Once names have been suggested, it will be up to the > Transport Minister to use the judgement of Solomon (or political > expediency) to make a decision. The new bridge won't be open till late > 2008, so he has plenty of time. > Vital Spark Returns to River Clyde > The Clyde "puffers" were small steam-powered vessels that provided > vital services to the towns and villages along Scotland's west coast > in the 19th and 20th centuries. They were originally designed to fit > the locks of the Forth & Clyde canal between Glasgow and Edinburgh and > the Crinan canal across the Mull of Kintyre peninsula. They were > nicknamed "puffer" because of the distinctive puffing sound from their > non-condensing steam engines. They became legendary after being > immortalised in a series of books by Neil Munro about Para Handy, the > captain of the puffer "Vital Spark". So there was a special interest > this week when one of the last surviving vessels - carrying the name > "Vital Spark" - arrived at Bowling on the river Clyde to mark the > 150th anniversary of the launch of the first of its kind. The first > puffer - named "Glasgow" - was built at Kelvin Dock, Maryhill, on the > Forth & Clyde canal, in 1857. The present "Vital Spark" is one of the > last surviving Clyde puffers. It was previously named "Eilean > Eisdeal," and is normally berthed at the Inveraray Maritime Museum in > Argyll. > HISTORICAL AFFAIRS - Topical Items Relating to Scotland's Past > Arbroath Bid for Return of Treasure > Many of Scotland's historical artefacts are displayed in national > museums or galleries in Edinburgh. In some cases, they have strong > local connections and in recent years efforts are sometimes being made > for their return from the Capital. The latest such attempt is by the > Angus County Council member for Arbroath who has written to the > National Museum of Scotland and Historic Scotland in a bid to bring > the 800-year-old Monymusk Reliquary back to Arbroath. King William the > Lion entrusted the rectangular casket to the Abbot of Arbroath in > 1211. The reliquary was to be kept available to bless the royal army > before battle - and was said to have been used to good effect before > the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314. The casket is made of wood, covered > with thin sheets of copper and silver and is decorated in a > characteristically Pictish manner with animals against a stippled > background. It was said to have at one time housed a bone relic of St > Columba, who brought Christianity to Scotland in the 6th century. It > is unlikely that the National Museum would allow the casket to be > displayed permanently in Arbroath, so the aim would be to have it > displayed there for short periods. It is argued that moving the casket > and providing safe keeping would be far easier than for that other > historic item associated with the town - the Declaration of Arbroath > which is a delicate parchment. > SCOTTISH INVENTIONS > With a relatively small population, Scots have been responsible for > many inventions over the centuries - something that we take great > pride in telling anyone who will listen! There are many well-known > Scottish inventors and inventions (like Alexander Graham Bell who was > the first to patent the telephone and Alexander Fleming's discovery of > penicillin) but some are less well known: > Use of Ultrasound in Obstetrics - Ian Donald (1910-1987) > Ian Donald served with distinction as a medical officer in the RAF > during the war and it was a conjunction of experience of radar and > echo-sounding, a visit to the research department of engineering firm > Babcock and Wilcox and what he described as "a continuing childish > interest in machines, electronic and otherwise" that led him to > develop ultrasound devices to scan internal organs. Prior to this they > had been used in such areas as detecting flaws in metal. As Regius > Professor of Midwifery at the University of Glasgow it was natural for > him to use the devices to scan unborn babies. Early experiments were > disappointing, but after diagnosing an ovarian cyst, there was no > turning back. Donald's article "Investigation of Abdominal Masses by > Pulsed Ultrasound", published June 7, 1958 in the medical journal The > Lancet, was one of the defining publications in the field.

Rev. Thomas HAMER- Daily Southern Cross 14 November 1851 Page 3 (From the Sydney Morning Herald Wesleyan College. By the American 'ship Architect,' which arrived yesterday Wesleyan College. - The Annual Examination of the pupils at this Institution cook place on the 11th inst. We regret that the pressure of other duties prevented me being personally present, but we have received from several distinct and disinterested sources accounts of the proceedings which are of the most satisfactory character. There was a large assembly of the friends of Education, including the Colonial Secretary, the Colonial Treasurer, the Attorney-General, Captain Cockraft, (Private Secretary), V Gisborne, Esq., W. Young, Esq., and other gentlemen, with a considerable number of ladies. The examination of the pupils was conducted chiefly by the Rev. J. H. Fletcher (Principal of the Seminary), the Rev. J. Inglis also taking part. The answering, we are informed, was generally so prompt and correct as to afford the fullest evidence of the care and ability with which the scholars had been instructed, and of their understanding of what they had learned. The crotchet netting, and general fancy work executed by the young ladies under the superintendence of Miss Fletcher was - as we are assured on authority which we dare not dispute on such a matter - really beautiful, while we are informed that the useful tasks of the needle, as distinguished from what is merely chiefly ornamental, which, valuable every where, are of especial importance in colonial life, had also been diligently and successfully attended to;- and the whole passed off in a manner highly cheering to those who desire the educational advancement of the colony. The Rev. Mr. Hamer (Independent Minister lately arrived in this town) delivered a brief but appropriate address to the pupils, and the Rev. A. Macdonald concluded the proceedings with prayer. - New Zealander, Nov. 12.
