Democracy for Scotland: The Referendum Experience was launched at the Stirling Smith Art Gallery and Museum on 27th April, 2012.
The exhibition was formally opened by MSP Linda Fabiani and the launch was attended by many of the interviewees who contributed their recollections of the 1979 and 1997 devolution campaigns to the Devolution Referendums Oral History Collection at the Scottish Political Archive
Democracy for Scotland focuses on the campaign for a Scottish Parliament in the second half of the twentieth century. In particular it chronicles the history behind the two devolution referendums of 1979 and 1997 and explores the nature of the Yes and No campaigns for both referendums, their results and the re-establishment of a Scottish Parliament.
The exhibition draws largely on the collections of the Scottish Political Archive (SPA). SPA is based at the University of Stirling and is dedicated to collecting oral and other material relating to the political history of Scotland in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The exhibition features referendum campaign materials including leaflets, pamphlets, posters and badges deriving from all the major political parties and umbrella groups. It also offers visitors the opportunity to hear the voices of politicians and campaigners discussing their experiences of the referendums of ’79 and ‘97, the intervening period and the establishment of a Scottish Parliament.

Marshall is also noted for the European Recovery Program in which the United States gave tens of billions of dollars in economic support, starting in 1948, to help rebuild European economies following the devastation of World War II. The plan became known as 'The Marshall Plan.' His post war work earned him the Nobel Peace Prize in 1953. Marshall originally hailed from Pennsylvania; when he retired from military and public service, he and his wife settled in Pinehurst, N.C. The Fort Bragg headquarters of U.S. Army Forces Command is named Marshall Hall in honor of Gen. Marshall. Gen. Mark A. Milley, FORSCOM commanding general, Maj. Gen.

In the latter half of the 19th century, Sigmund Freud failed in his efforts to study, reconstruct, and understand the human brain. And for over a century man’s attempts have all been for naught in this endeavor, until there was George Hart. George Hart may look to be a geometric sculptor, but he’s actually the only person ever to reconstruct accurate models of the living human brain. You’ll see all the intricacies and facets of the mind in each and every represenation. This makes his work incredibly rare and ultra-valuable. Only a select few will ever be fortunate enough to see these marvels in real-life, consider yourself lucky. Find out more at www.creativetempest.com

Overlooking the Niagara River, Fort George was built between 1796 and 1802. This fortification served as the headquarters for the Centre Division of the British Army during the War of 1812, and played a pivotal role in the defence of Upper Canada. Fort George saw action during the Battle of Queenston Heights, was destroyed and captured by the Americans during the Battle of Fort George, and was reclaimed by the British seven months later.
History of the 41st Regiment of Foot Fife & Drum Corps
The young men who served the English Crown during the 18th and 19th century as fifers and drummers were disciplined, courageous and held positions of responsibility. Sons of soldiers, they were old enough to take on a role in the regiment and its daily functions. It was up to these professional musicians to act as a communication system and as musical entertainment for the army. They played music to inspire the men, remind them of home, and to help them deal with the hardships of military life.
As duty drummers (a name used both for fifers and drummers), they took turns on a 24-hour guard shift and were expected to know and be able to beat play any Order at any time. Incompetence was not tolerated. They beat performed their duty calls every day, starting with Reveille to wake the garrison, and ending with the Taptoo to warn that the gates of the garrison were to close for the night.
41st Regiment of Foot Band of Music s a unique musical program , which focuses on the more popular, social music of the 18th and early 19th centuries. A Band of Music could be made up of officers, soldiers or civilian musicians, who provided entertainment for the upper classes through concerts, plays and dances. This music was quite different from the repertoire of the Fife and Drum Corps, whose main purpose was to act as a form of communication on the battlefields.

Although we didn't ride the K&K railway excursion (a timing issue, mostly), a few days later we boarded a train in Titusville and rode along the Oil Creek valley (PDF). This is a truly historic area--the petroleum industry was born here--and the tour did a decent job of introducing that history. It's rather like a mining area's saga, with boom towns and speculators and colorful characters. Now mostly wilderness, and ruins.
George Bissell, after whom the car is named, was an oil industry pioneer. The photo was taken, I believe, at the tour's Petroleum Centre stop.

George Wheler (1650-1723) was born in the Netherlands to a royalist English family that had fled Cromwellian England. He fathered eighteen children. In 1675-1676 he travelled in Greece and Asia Minor with J. Spon. As he believed that sharing the perils and expenses of a journey meant sharing also the scientific results, he published this chronicle. However, it is but a mediocre copy of Spon's work.
The two travellers started out from Venice, called in at Zante (Zacynthos) and Cerigo (Cythera), then visited Delos and ended up in Constantinople. After passing through Bursa and Thyateira, Wheler and Spon spent some time in Smyrna. On their second trip, they travelled to Zacynthos, Patras and thence to Delphi. Then they made their way to Athens, from where they toured Attica. In contrast to his travelling companion, Wheler was motivated by curiosity rather than an inclination towards ancient scholarship.
During his journey, Wheler collected more than a thousand plants, which he donated to Oxford University, together with the antiquities he had acquired (sculptures, inscriptions and coins). The Greek and Latin manuscripts were given to Lincoln College. After his voyage, Wheler was ordained and followed an clerical career. In 1689, he published a treatise on early Christian churches.
His chronicle was published in 1682 and never republished again. It describes Zakynthos, Delos, Istanbul, Bursa, Thyateira, Ephesus, Delphi, Corinth and Athens. The chapters on Athens and Attica contain references to Herodotus and Pausanias and drawings of ancient monuments and inscriptions. They speak of the modern city, the climate, administration, local customs and the situation of the Church as well as local products and commerce. Wheler, like Spon, also makes commentaries on language In spite of its inexactitudes, Wheler's book came to be the major text of reference on Athenian monuments up until the publication of James Stuart's and Nicholas Revett's work. His description of Athens (plagiarism notwithstanding), his map of Attica (that he calls “Achaia”), drawn in his particular technique, and his observations on botany constitute his work into a model text of British travel literature.

İngiliz kökenli George Wheler (1650-1723) krallık rejimi taraftarı olması nedeniyle Cromwell iktidarındaki İngiltere'den uzakta sürgün yaşayan bir aile içinde Hollanda'da doğdu. Yaşamı boyunca 18 çocuğu oldu. Kent ve Oxford'da öğrenim gördükten sonra 1673 yılında Fransa, İsviçre ve İtalya'yı kapsayan bir yolculuğa çıkar. İtalya seyahati sırasında Venedik'teyken Jacob Spon'la tanışır ve birlikte Doğu'ya seyahat etmeyi kararlaştırırlar. J. Spon ile 1675-1676 yıllarında yaptığı Yunanistan ve Anadolu (Ege Bölgesi) yolculuğundan sonra, Wheler, bir seyahatin tehlike ve masraflarının ortaklaşa paylaşılmasının "bilimsel sonuçlarının da paylaşılması" anlamına geldiğini sayıp 1682'de seyahatnamesini yayınlar ancak bu yayın Spon'ın 1678'de yayınladığı yapıtının vasat bir kopyası olmaktan ileri gitmez.
Venedik'ten yola çıkarak Zakynthos (Zante adası) ve Kithira'ya (Çuha adası) uğradılar, daha sonra Delos adasından geçerek İstanbul'a vardılar. Yolculuklarının devamında Bursa ve Akhisar (Thyateira)'dan geçerek İzmir'e varıp bir süre burada kaldılar. Yaptıkları ikinci yolculukta ise Zakynthos'dan Patras'a geçip Delfi'ye geldiler, oradan Atina'ya gidip buraları ve tüm Attika'yı gezdiler. Yolculuk arkadaşının tersine Wheler'in esas amacı arkeolojik bilgilerini derinleştirmekten çok bu yerlerle ilgili merakını gidermekti.
Wheler yolculuğu sırasında derlediği binden fazla bitkiyi ve heykel, yazıt, sikke gibi arkeolojik nesneyi Oxford Üniversitesine armağan ader; sahip olduğu yunanca ve latince elyazmaları ise Lincoln College'e verilir. Seyahatten döndükten sonra papaz olup kilise kariyeri yapar. Wheler 1689 yılında ilk hıristiyan kiliseleriyle ilgili bir kitap daha yayınlar.
1682'de yayınlanan ve bir daha basılmayan seyahatnamesinde Zante, Delos adaları, İstanbul, Bursa, Thyateira (Akhisar), Efes, Delfi, Korint ve Atina betimlenmekte. Atina'ya ayrılmış bölümler Herodot ve Pausanias'a yapılan göndermeler yanısıra eski anıtlardan eskizler, yazıtlar ve çağdaş şehir hakkında, iklim, yönetim, insanların alışkanlıkları, kilisenin durumu, ürünler ve ticaret hayatıyla ilgili ayrıntılı bilgiler içermekte. Kitapta ayrıca Spon'ın metninde de görüldüğü gibi dil konusuna da çeşitli yorumlara yer verilmekte. Wheler'in Akropolis üzerinde bulunan anıtlar hakkında anlattıkları, tutarsızlıklarına rağmen, J. Stuart ve N. Revett'in kitabının yayımına dek bu konuda esas betimleyici metin olarak kabul edilmişti. Telif hırsızlığına rağmen Atina şehri betimlemesi, Achaia olarak adlandırdığı Attika yarımadası haritası ve botanolojik gözlemleri sayesinde Wheler'in yapıtı ingiliz gezi edebiyatının örnek yapıtları arasında yer almaktadır.

This is the Royal George pub on Eversholt Street in London. It is near Euston Station.
The pub is linked to the station. One of the places to go before or after getting a train (or the tube).
It dates from 1939 - 40 and is a Grade II listed building. Designed by A E Sewell. It replaced a public house of the same name on Drummond Street.
