Oor Doddie
A new landmark was unveiled at BT Murrayfield today . . . and it’s already raising a smile with visitors to the home of Scottish Rugby.
A statue of “Oor Doddie” – the 61-times capped former Scotland lock Doddie Weir – was produced during the summer as part of the Oor Wullie bucket trail around Scotland.
The statue was auctioned for charity – the Archie Foundation – in Dundee in the Autumn and Graham and Fiona Burke from Edzell and John and Fiona Scott from Fearn made a winning bid of £11,500 for the statue.
The two couples wanted Oor Doddie to be on display at BT Murrayfield and today the official handover took place with the man himself, Doddie Weir, on hand to accept the statue, which will act as a focal point to continue Scottish Rugby’s support for the My Name’5 Doddie Foundation, which aims to find a cure and support research into Motor Neurone Disease. It’s also a great spot for a fun picture!

Elizabeth Lumsden Miller Memorial Window Carriden Parish Church Bo'ness Scotland
Tour Scotland video of the Elizabeth Lumsden Miller Memorial stained glass window in Carriden Parish Church in Bo'ness, West Lothian. Recorded in several spellings including Lumsden, Lumsdaine, and Lumsdon, this is a Scottish locational surname. which originates from a place called Lumsden in the parish of Coldingham, Berwickshire. The name derives from the Olde English pre 7th century lumm meaning a pool, plus denu a valley. In an early Calendar of Documents relating to Scotland, reference is made to an Adam de Lummesdene of Berwickshire who rendered homage in 1296. In the early half of the 14th century a branch of the Lumsden family acquired land in Fife and in Aberdeenshire, near Aberdeen to which they gave their family name, whilst John de Lummysden witnessed a charter by Duncan, earl of Fife in 1335. An interesting name bearer was Sir Harry Burnett Lumsden, born 1821, died 1896, lieutenant general of the British army, and who served for many years in India. He introduced the khaki uniform into the Indian army, and it was subsequently adopted throughout the forces at the end of the 19th century. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Gillem de Lumisden. this was dated circa 1166, when he witnessed a charter by the earl of Dunbar to the Priory of Coldingham. This was during the reign of King William, the Lion, of Scotland.
Montrose, Angus
Montrose is a coastal resort town and former royal burgh in Angus, Scotland. It is situated 38 miles north of Dundee between the mouths of the North and South Esk rivers. It is the northernmost coastal town in Angus and developed at a natural harbour that traded in skins, hides and cured salmon in medieval times.
With a population of approximately 12,000, the town functions as a port, but the major employer is GlaxoSmithKline, which was saved from closure in 2006. The skyline of Montrose is dominated by the 220-foot steeple, designed by James Gillespie Graham and built between 1832 and 1834.

Scottish Claymore Sword by Marto of Toledo Spain SFMA751S
Scottish Claymore Sword by Marto of Toledo Spain SFMA751S
The Scottish Claymore Sword was the typical weapon of the Highland warriors since the late Middle Age, 15th to 17th century. This large two-handed broad sword, (from the Gaelic Claideah-more=great sword), was considered a rough tool, although effective, as the users. It was King Jacob I's effective use of the Claymore sword that made it one of the symbols of national Scottish pride. The Claymore sword, feared because of its size and strength, was used in the constant clan wars as well as against the English as late as the Rebellion of 1745.
Jacob I (1394-1437), King of Scotland, was crowned in 1424 in Scone. After overwhelming the Albany clan because of the conspiracies against him when he was a child, he decreased the power of the feudal lords. Under his rule, the Scottish laws were codified and a system of weights and measures was instituted. Assassinated by Sir Robert Graham in a conspiracy, he was brave in battle and had a strong hand in ruling his country. He was called the Lion of Scotland.
The Scottish Claymore Sword by Marto of Toledo Spain is 57 inches in length , has a double edged blade made of the finest tempered stainless steel , ornamented with 24K Gold engravings on the upper part. The hilt is made in burnished cast metal with decorations in gold and silver plated metal. The spheric pommel is also in cast metal, whilst the long tapered handgrip is in wood. As is typical of the high Marto quality and craftsmanship standards, this Claymore sword reproduction is without comparison.
