Lothian

Especially, 'cause I guess this is an actual tournament.

It's a Lothi- Lothians Amateur Championship.

Yeah.

So it is the sort of champ-

...

Lothians, is that the word I was looking for?

They're in Lothians.

So you're thinking, right, then there are suggestions about... amalgamating merging councils.

So you've got the Lothians, the three Tay sides here have had the same sort of suggestion.

So all we're hearing about is things becoming much, much larger.

And that puts all the alarm bells ringing.

Un portavoz de la Polika afirma que la información proporcionada por la familia y los amigos de Amy fue crucial para esclarecer los delitos cometidos por Malcolm.

Tras un juicio en el que participaron cincuenta y seis testigos, Malcolm, de treinta y siete años, fue declarado culpable de delitos contra cuatro mujeres en las localidades escocesas de Lothian y Moray, entre ellas Amy, que se remontan a 2008, cuando aún era adolescente.

After a trial involving fifty-six witnesses, Malcolm, thirty-seven, was found guilty of offenses against four women in the Scottish towns of Lothian and Moray, including Amy, dating back to 2008, when she was still a teenager.

She was a teenager.

Recientemente present-- una apelación contra su condena a dieciséis años.

He recently filed an appeal against his sixteen-year sentence os.

And Jesus, what does He say? He says, "I want you to go into the Earth that's mine, and I want you to go and make disciples.

I want you to rescue people from the clutches of Satan." You know, when I was 21, when I was 21, nearly 30 years ago, I caught the heart of God for the city of Edinburgh and the Lothians.

I caught the heart of God for this territory.

And hey, if, if I hadn't followed that lead, we wouldn't be talking today.

Scotland's identity at that point was tied to more than just land.

It was rooted in a sense of self-governance that predated James, dating back to the early medieval parliaments of the Lothian shires.

The Scottish legal system, heritable chieftains, and customary law was still very much alive when James tried to impose his own laws on the lowlands.

This clash of systems is why later historians note how uncomfortable it was for both sides to sit in a single council chamber.

Some who have made a superficial acquaintance with this remarkable phase of border life have rushed to the conclusion that the great border chiefs and those over whom they exercised a kind of patriarchal authority must have been dowered with a double dose of original sin.

In proof of this it is pointed out that a widely different state of affairs prevailed in other parts of the country, for example in Fife and the Lothians, and generally speaking throughout the whole of the west of Scotland, and consequently the only way in which they can account for the singular condition of the borders is by predicating an essentially lower moral type.

We do not believe that this theory, plausible though it may appear, will bear a moment's serious consideration.

No doubt among the broken men of the debatable land and in some parts of Littlesdale you will find a considerable number of disreputable characters whose only law was the length of their own swords.

After the time of Queen Margaret, whose influence in certain directions was almost marvelously potent, the great religious houses of the borders rose in rapid succession, such as Melrose, Kelso, and Jedburgh, each a center and source of religious and social well-being.

The moral life of the people, notwithstanding the existence of such beneficent institutions, may have been of an indifferent character, but what the state of matters might have been had those places and what they represented never been in existence at all, it is impossible to conceive.

It was a true instinct which led the people to regard the Abbey of Haddington as the, quote, "lamp of the Lothians," end quote, and the same designation might have been applied with equal appropriateness to every abbey in the country.

Those places for many generations represented all that was highest and best in the thought and life of medievalism.

My name's Craig.

So I'm the Director of Finance at NHS Lothian.

Oh, where does it start? So I left high school at fifth year, so usually 10th, Stephen, for six years.

I left at fifth year because I didn't want to do any more studying.

But it's a very small world.

So colleagues need to remember that when you're working with people.

So I ended up in Lothian.

I was the last director of finance at St John's Hospital before that was wind up and brought back into NHS Lothian board.

The neighbours alleged that he had sold himself to old Nick.

He would spill blood as if it was water, and he and his white steed, Nogo, were well known all over Fife and the Lothians.

He was held to be a freebooter, a wizard, and a warlock, a highwayman, a pirate, and a general desperado.

He had slain many men in mortal combat, and was found invulnerable.

Okay, so first, the North Berwick Witch Trials were the trials in 1590.

So it predates Salem Witch Trials, which was a number of people from East Lothian, I believe is how you say it, Scotland, accused of witchcraft in the St. Andrew's Ald Kirk in North Berwick.

And this happened on Halloween night.

Mm-hmm.

Agnes Sampson, the eldest witch of them all, dwelling in Hannington.

Agnes Thompson of Edinburgh, which back then they spelled differently than they do now.

Dr. Theon, alias John Cunningham, master of the school at Southpans in Lothian.

of whose life and strange acts you shall hear more largely in the end of this discourse.
