University complex - The Madness
The Univerty was new, we were walking on mud, nothing was really finished, it was really ugly but I did like it because it was "my" university.
My four friends and I were always together.
Did you recognize me ?

Queen's Royal Hussars
--------------------------------
The Queen's Royal Hussars was formed by the amalgamation of the Queen's Own Hussars and the Queen's Royal Irish Hussars.Since 1685 the Regiment has obtained the distinguished record of being awarded 172 battle hounours,from it first at Dettingen in 1743 right up to the Gulf War in 1991.
The Regimental Pipes and Drums are a reasonably recent arrival; originating from The Queen's Royal Irish Hussars Pipes and Drums formed in 1973.Since the amalgamation,The Pipes and Drums have gone from strength to strength and now play a large part in Regimental life.They have a rich and varied annual programme under the leadership of Pipe Major Greame Massie.
1st Royal Tank Regiment
-----------------------------------
The Pipes and Drums of the First Royal Tank Regiment were formed on the amalgamation of the First Royal Tank Regiment an Fourth Royal Tank Regiment.The band began performaning as an entity in 1974 as a part of the Fourth Royal Tank Regiment.The Pipes and Drums are not offically established,with the exception of the Pipe Major,as all the bandsmen are fully qualifired tank crewmen who are required to take part in all of the military activities of the Regiment.
The Pipes and Drums are privileged to were the Hunting Tartan of the Rose of Kilravock.The Regiment was the First to serve on tanks in 1916 as a part of the Heavy Branch of the Machine Gun Corps,which became after a number of iterations,the Royal Tank Regiment in 1939.The Regiment has fought with distinction throughout both World Wars and other theaters where the British Army has been involved.Most recently the Regiment was deployed to Cyprus,with the UN United Nations,in 1998.The Regiment is currently re-enroling from being an armoured unit to become the British Army's first Nuclear,Biological and Chemical Reconnaissance Regiment based in Honington,Suffolk,England.The Band is led by Pipe Major R.E.Hunter.
1st Battalion The Highlanders (Seaforth Highlanders,Gordon Highlanders,Cameron Highlanders)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On Saturday September 17,1994 at Dreghorn Barracks,Edinburgh a parade was held to mark the amalgamation of The Queen's Own Highlanders and The Gordon Highlanders.As the Colours were marched off,the newest regiment in the British Army,The Highlanders (Seaforth Highlanders,Gordon Highlanders,Cameron Highlanders),came into being.
The Regiment has its roots in five different regiments that have one thing in common; they were raised in the Highlands of Scotland.The Regiment maintains these linke through its use of the only Gaelic motto in the British Army, "Cuidich"N Righ" (Save the Kng) and by the three different tartans worn by members of the Regiment.The fundamental importance of these old military tartants;MacKenzie of Seaforth Highlanders,Gordon Highlanders,and Cameron Highladers of Erracht,are emphasised in the fact that all members of the Highlanders have the opportunity to were them as part of their uniform.
The Regiment holds over 185 Battlwe Honours inherited from its predecessors including Assaye,Egypt,Waterloo,India,Somme,El Alamein,Burma and The Gulf War.Throughout these and all other battles it was the stirring turns of the Pipes and Drums that encouraged soldiers into battle.This has been immortalised in two of the most famous accounts of Pipers in Battle,that of Piper Kenneth MacKay of Cameron Highlanders at Battle of Waterloo and Piper George Findlater of the Gordon Highlanders at the Hight of Dargai.
The Pipes and Drums are fully trained combat soldiers and are the Battalion's specialist Medium Machine Gun (Sustained Fire) Platoon.They carry out this task when the Battalion goes on operations or exercises,and were an integral part of the Battalion's deployment to Northern Ireland last summer.The Battlon is currently based in Catterick Garrison,North Yorkshire,England where they train for any potenential deployment overseas.For the last six months they have been re-inforcing the Britiash contribution to the multi-national extraction force of OSCE Orgaization for Security Co-operation in Europe monitors in Kosovo.
1st Battlion of The Argyll and Sutheerland Highlanders (Princess Louise's)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In 1794,at the request of King George III of Great Britain ,the Duke of Argyll gave Duncan Campbell of Lochnell the responsiblty of raising a regiment for forein service.Thus in May 1794 the 98th Regiment of Foot was raised at Stirling.The Regimental number was later changed to the 91st while the Regiment was station at the Cape of Good Hope,South Africa.In 1799 His Majesty King George II of Great Britain authorised Major General William Wemyss,a nephew of the late Earl of Suthland,to raise a Regiment of Foot from that country.As a result,the "Sutherland Regiment" was embodied in Inverness in 1800 and was subsequently numbered the 93rd.It was the 93rd Sutherland Regiment that stood firm like a "thin red line tipping with steel" on the field of Balakava in 1854 against the massed Russian Cavalry.The reorganistion of the British Army in 1881,known as Cardwell System,assembled the 91st Argyllshire Highlanders and the 93rd Sutherland Highlanders as the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders.This brought about the double motto of the Regiment,"Ne Obliviscaris" - Do not Forget,and "Sans Peur" - Without Fear.
The Regiment has fought fought at Corunna,Lucknow,Balaklava,Paradeberg,Mons,El Alamein and Korea to name but a few of its one hundred and sixy two Battle Honours.The Argylls were very much in the public eye in Aden,Yemen in 1967 under the famous leadership of Lieuntent Colonel Colin "Mad Mitch" Mitchell.The 1st battalion are currently providing the Edinburgh Castle Guard based in Redford Barracks,Edinburgh having just completed a verry successful two year tour as the Northern Ireland Province Reserve Battalion in South Armagh,North Ireland.The Regimental Headquaters and Regimental Museum are in Stirling Castle,the home of the Regiment.
2nd Battalion of The Royal Gurkha Rifles
------------------------------------------------------
Gurkhas have served the British Crown with distinction since 1815.They have seen active service in India,the World Wars,Malaya and Borneo and more recently in the Falkland Islands War,the Gulf War,and Bosnia.The Royal Gurkha Rifles was formed in 1994 upon the amalgamation of the 2nd Royal Gurkha Rifles,6th Royal Gurkha Rifles,7th Royal Gurkha Rifles,and 10th Royal Gurkha Rifles and now consists of two battalions.
Currently,the 2nd Battalion The Royal Gurkha Rifles are stationed in the oil rich state of Brunei on the Borth cost of Borneo.In September 1998 the Pipes and Drums were involved in the the State Visit of Her Hajesty Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain to Brunei,Borneo.
Royal Gurkha infantry battalions have maintained pipe bands since the 1860s when they were stationed alongside Scottish regiments.The tradition of wearing tartan is also a legacy of their close associations with Scottish regiments.The Pipes and Drums of both battalions were the Douglas tartan which reflects the affiliation of the 7th Royal Gurkha Rifles with The Cameronians (Scottish Rifles).

Royal Air Force Leuchars is situated on the east coast of northeast Fife,approximately 8 miles north of St. Andrews.The station is the home of two Air Defence Squadrons,RAF 43rd Fighter Squadron and RAF 111th Fighter Squadron,who operate Panavia Tornado F3 aircraft.Both squadrons also make up part of the United Kingdom's Rapid Reaction Force,being required to deploy at a moment's notice.
The Voluntary Pipes and Drums of the Royal Air Force Leuchars are one of the oldest Royal Air Force Pipe bands within the Royal Air Force.Band members are not regular bandsmen,but volunteers from all ranks and trades comprising of groundcrew from both RAF 43rd Fighter Squadron and RAF 11st Fighter Squaron,support personnel and small number of civilians.With assistance from the Voluntary Band Instructor,the band endeavours to preserve and encourge the piping and drumming traditions of the Royal Air Force,which can be traced back to the 1920s.
The Royal Air Force Leuchars Pipes and Drums perform at numerous engagements throughout the year both at home and abroad,including Cermonial parades,Affiliation parades,Charity occasions,Highland Games,Golf Open Championships,the Dunhill Cup,The Royal Tournament and a number of competitions.They are also becoming more regularly involved with the Edinburgh Military Tattoo;this year will be their sixth appearance at the would-famous event.The band recently represented the Royal Air Force by performing in Edinburgh for the opening of the Scottish Parliament in July this year.The tartan worn by the band is the Red Macgregor,originally adopted by a former Station Commander sometime in early 1960.
Vancouver Police Pipe Band

The unit is the "Official Band of the City of Vancouver" and serves as the city's premier goodwill ambassadors locally,nationally and internationally.
Its proud heritage dates to 1914,when a few city policemen played their pipes at the offical opening of the Police Department's new headquaters.
The Chief Constable of the day was so pleased (his name,after all was Malcolm Bruce MacLennan !) that he authorised the formation of what is today one of Canada's most enduring police pipe bands.
The unit,which parades in the Royal tartan of Prince Charle Edward Stewart,hos won many awards and accolades.The State of Hawaii in 1963 honoured each band member with a medallion of appreciation, after the unit,on its own initiative,staged in Honolulu's largest park a solemn Retreat Ceremony before thousands of deeply-moved citizens on the evening of the assassination of President John Fitzgerlard Kennedy.
Edinburgh is a "Sisater City" of Vancouver,Canada,and Mayor Philip Owen-on behalf of the City Council the citizens-extends warmest greetings to everyone,as the Vancouver Police Pipe Band makes its first family visit since the Edinburgh Military Tattoo of 1980.
RRS Discover
--------------------
The RRs Discover was the last traditional wooden three-masted ship to be built in Britain.Designed for Antartctic reseach,she was launched in 1901.Her first mission was the British National Antarctic Expendition,carrying Captain Robert Falcon Scott and Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton on their first,successful journey to the Antarctic,known as the Discovery Expedition.She is now the centerpiece of visitor attraction in her home ,Dundee,Scotland.
History
----------
On March 16,1900,in the context of signifcant donation to the approaching expedition by Llewellyn Wood Longstaff and the British government,construction on the RRS Discovery begin in Dundee,Scotland by the Dundee Shipbuilder Company.She was launched into the Firth of Tay on May 21,1901 by Lady Joy Mary Minna Markham ,the wife of Sir Clemet Robert Markham,President of the Royal Geographic Society.
RRS Discovery had a coal-fired auxiliarty steam engines,but had to rely primary on sail because the coal bunkers did not have sufficent capacity to take the ship on long voyages.She was rigged as a Barque Class.According to Sir Ernest Henry Shacklton,the ship was a bad sailer,and carried too much sail aft and not enough foward;while Captain Robert Falcon Scott worried that the design of the ship's hull was unsuitable for work in pack ice.The ship had a massively built wooden hull designed to withstand being frozen into ice.The propeller and rudder could be hoisted out of the way to provent ice damage.Irion-shod bows were severely raked so that when ramming the ice they would ride up over the margin and crush the ice with deadweight.The RRS Discovery rolled badly in the open seawhere the flat shallow hull,built with no protuberances to work in the ice,provided minmal stabilty in heavy seas.The hull was made from five different types of wood to better withstand the compression of the icepack.The keel was made from the truck od a single eucalyptus tree.Ballast in the hull was created from old cannon balls.[RRS Discovery at St.Katherines Dock London,England in 1980 an discussion with the captain of the vessel.]Ship was rigged for scientific studies.The metallic parts of the forward part of the ship was made from bronze(non-metallic) to include the crew bed rails and anchor links.
British National Antarctic Expedition
------------------------------------------------
Five months after setting sail on August 6,1901 from the Isle of Wight,England,she sighted the Antarctic coastline on January 8,1902.During the first month Captain Robert Falcon Scott began charting the coastline.Then in preparation for the winter,he weighed anchor in McMurdo Sound,Antarctica.The ship would remain there,locked in ice,for the next two years;the Expedition had expected to spend the winter there and move on in the spring.Despite this,the Expedition was able to determine that Antarctic was indeed a continent,and they were able to relocate the Southern Magnetic Pole.Captain Robert Falcon Scott,Sir Ernest Henry Shacklton,and Edward Adrian Wilson also achived a Further South of 82 degrees 18 minutes.The ship was wventually freed on Febuary 16,1904 by use of controlled explosive which allowed the ice to move away by butting qand shunting,thus assisting in the breakup of the ice.RRS Discovery finally sailed for home,arriving in Spithead is an area of the Solent and a roadstead of Gilkiker Point in Hampshire,England on September 10,1904.
Cargo Vessel
-------------------
The British National Antarctic Expedition was acclaimed upon its return but was also in serious financial trouble,and so in 1905,RRS Discovery was sold to the Hudson's Bay Company ,who used RRS Discovery as a cargo vessel between London ,England and Hudson Bay ,Anada until the First World War,when RRS Discovery began carrying munitions to Russia.One of RRS Discovery's the mast was removed during RRS Discovery days as a cargo vessel with the Hudson's Bay Compay to make room for more cargo.In 1916,she was loaned to the British Government to rescue Sir Ernest Henry Shacklton's party marooned on Elephant Island of the cast of Antarctic,but thery were rescued before RRS Discovery arrived.In 1917,RRS Discovery carried supples to the White Army of Russia during the Russian Civil War.At the end of the hostilities RRS Discovery was charted by various companies for work in the Atlantic Ocean,but outdated and outclassed by more modern merchant vessels RRS Discovery was soon laid up,spending the early 1920s as the headquaterof the 16th Stepney Districk of London,England Sea Scouts.
Discovery Investigations
----------------------------------
In 1923 RRS Discovery fortunes were revived when the Crown Agents for the Colonies purchased RRS Discovery for further reseach work in the Antarctic.Reregistered to Stanley in the Falkland Islands and designated as a Royal Reseach Ship,RRS Discovery underwent a $183,879 refit before sailing in October 1925 for the South Seas to chart the migration patterns of whale stocks as part of the Discovery Investigations.RRS Discovery role continued when the British Government lent her to BANZRE,the British Australian and New Zealand Antarctic Resarch Expedition.RRS Discovery served in this duty from 1929 until 1931.
Boy Scouts
----------------
Returning to Great Britain,RRS Discovery research days now over,RRS Discovery was laid up until 1936 when RRS Discovery was presented to the Boy Scouts Association of the United Kingdom as a static training ship for Sea Scouts in London,England.During the war RRS Discovery engines and boilers were removed for scrap to help the war effort.Too coastly for the Boy Souts Association of the United Kingdom to maintain RRS Discovery was transferred to the Royal Navy the Admiralty in 1955 for use as a drill ship for the Royal Navy Auxiliary Reserve.As the years passed RRS Discovery condition deteriorated and when no longer of use to the Royal Navy,RRS Discovery was in danger of being scapped.Saved from the breakers yard by the Maritimr Trust,into whose care RRS Discovery passed in 1979,RRS Discovery futher was secured.Berthed on the River Thames and open to the public,the trust spent some 4806,648.00 on essential restoration until RRS Discovery was passed into the ownership of the Dundee Heritage Trust in 1985.
Discovery Point Dundee
---------------------------------
On March 28,1986,RRS Discovery left London,Endland aboard the cargo ship Happy nMariner to make RRS Discover journy home to the city built RRS Discovery.RRS Discovery arrived on the River Tay on April 3,1986 to a tumultuous welcome.Moved to a custom built dock in 1992.RRS Discovery is now the centerpiece of Dundee's visitor attraction Discovery Point.RRS Discovery is displayed in a purpose-built dock,in configuration as near as possible to RRS Discovery 1924 state,when RRS Discovery was refited in the Vosper Yard at Portsmouth,England.RRS Discovery is listed as part of the National Historic Fleet,Core Collection>Discovery Point is a fully accredited museum and has won numerous national awards,well as being a 5 star rated tourst attraction with Vist Scotland.RRS Discovery and the polar collections were named as a Recognised collection of National Significance.
Since the 1990s,Discovery Point Museum has concentrated on interpreting vessel on all of RRS Discovery voyages,with personal items from the shp's crew as well as information on RRS Discovery scientific activities.Items ranged from the games played by the crew on RRS Discovery first expedition to examples of sea fauna.Star objects on display including Captain Robert Falcon Sott's rifle and pipe.RRS Discovery three main voyages,the British National Antarctic Expedition (1901--1904),the Discovery Oceanographic Expedition (1925--1927)and the BANZARE British Australian and New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition (1929--1931)and all explored in the museum through film and photographic evidence whith artefacts from each era represented.The museum also holds other pieces from Captain Robert Falcon Scott's subsequent Terraova Expedition and Sir Ernest Henry Shacklton's Endurance expedition.
Dundee market itself with the strip-line One City,Many Discoveries,in honour of RRS Discovery,the research work of the two univerties in the city,the Ninewells teaching hospital and other creative activities and innovation that take place in the vibrant city.
The ship also features on the crest of the coat of arms of the British Antarctic Territory.
Subsequent Ships
-------------------------
There have been ntwo subsequnent Royal Research Ships named RRS Discovery,RRS Discovery II (1929) and the current RRS Discovery.The present ship is due to replace by a further RRS Discovery,which to be built.
The spaceship Discovery One in Sir Arthur Charles Clarke's book 2001:A Space Odyssey was named by Sir Arthur Charles Clarke after RRS Discovery,Sir Arthur Charles Clarke used to eat his lunch aboard RRS Discovery as RRS Discovery was moored near the office where he worked in London,England.According to Sir Arthur Charles Clarke,he was unaware that RRS Discovery was lanched in 1901,so that fact RRS Discovery was celebrating RRS Discovery centenary in the year of his book is a coincidence.
The Space Shuttle Discovery is named for RRS Discovery

Now under the control of the Desert Studies Consortium, the site used to be the Zzyzx Mineral Springs and Health Spa, run by Curtis Howe Springer from 1944 to 1974 without federal permission. After Springer was ejected, the California State Univerties negotiated usage of the abandoned buildings of the health spa with the Bureau of Land Management, and in 1976, they signed a five-year cooperative management study for the Desert Studies Consortium to manage 1,280 acres (5 km²) at Soda Springs. The consortium continues to manage the site.
Each room with its own little verandah, is still occasionaly occupied by students attending a seminar or workshop hosted by the Desert Studies Consortium, but right mow devoid of anything living, with somewhere a door banging loosely in the wind...
