South Lanarkshire | Inspiring Enterprise Challenge | 2018
Aspiring young business tycoons from South Lanarkshire have participated in an entrepreneurial programme thanks to funding from UK Steel Enterprise.
The ‘Inspiring Enterprise Challenge’, supported by Bright Yellow Thinking and South Lanarkshire Council’s Planning & Economic Development Services, received £5,000 from UKSE.
The programme is aimed at 15 to 17-year-old school pupils across the area and was established six years ago to promote enterprise and business start-up. Based on the BBC programme, The Apprentice, the participants work on challenges set by local businesses.
Throughout the two-week long programme, the young people are awarded points for creativity, teamworking, decision making and so on. This year’s tasks included designing a new product for local biscuit manufacturer Border Biscuits, a fundraising challenge for Kilbryde Hospice and an entrepreneurial challenge set in the board rooms of Scottish Gas. Winners will be announced at an awards dinner to be held next week in Bothwell Castle Golf Club.
UKSE’s funding helped support participants’ transport to business venues, laptops to work on and prizes for the winners.
The challenge runs during the school summer holidays, and through working with experienced business people and successful organisations, students gain knowledge of how businesses work and develop the essential skills that are required in the workplace.
Anne Clyde, regional manager at UKSE said: “It’s fantastic to see the Inspiring Enterprise Challenge enter another year. It’s a great initiative that prepares young people to enter the world of business, teaching them the skills that they may not have the chance to learn at school.
“UKSE is proud to support such an entrepreneurial programme, and hope it continues in the future. We’d like to wish the participants the best of luck at the upcoming awards ceremony.”
Helen Salt, director of Bright Yellow Thinking said: “We are very proud of our Inspiring Enterprise Challenge, and are thrilled to see it go ahead for another year, thanks to the funding UKSE has provided.
“The programme allows young people to develop their business skills, learn how to negotiate and understand how businesses can grow. It’s had enormous success, with one candidate starting an interior design company, following her success in an earlier programme.”
SCOTLAND DUNNOTER CASTLE Nr Stonehave.
This is Dunnoter Castle.
Dunnottar Castle (Scottish Gaelic: Dùn Fhoithear, fort on the shelving slope) is a ruined medieval fortress located upon a rocky headland on the north-east coast of Scotland, about 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) south of Stonehaven. The surviving buildings are largely of the 15th and 16th centuries, but the site is believed to have been fortified in the Early Middle Ages. Dunnottar has played a prominent role in the history of Scotland through to the 18th-century Jacobite risings because of its strategic location and the strength of its situation. Dunnottar is best known as the place where the Honours of Scotland, the Scottish crown jewels, were hidden from Oliver Cromwell's invading army in the 17th century. The property of the Keiths from the 14th century, and the seat of the Earl Marischal, Dunnottar declined after the last Earl forfeited his titles by taking part in the Jacobite rebellion of 1715. The castle was restored in the 20th century and is now open to the public.
The ruins of the castle are spread over 1.4 hectares (3.5 acres), surrounded by steep cliffs that drop to the North Sea, 50 metres (160 ft) below. A narrow strip of land joins the headland to the mainland, along which a steep path leads up to the gatehouse. The various buildings within the castle include the 14th-century tower house as well as the 16th-century palace. Dunnottar Castle is a scheduled monument, and twelve structures on the site are listed buildings.
Charles II and was crowned at Scone Palace on 1 January 1651, at which the Honours of Scotland (the regalia of crown, sword and sceptre) were used. However, with Cromwell's troops in Lothian, the honours could not be returned to Edinburgh. The Earl Marischal, as Marischal of Scotland, had formal responsibility for the honours, and in June the Privy Council duly decided to place them at Dunnottar. They were brought to the castle by Katherine Drummond, hidden in sacks of wool. Sir George Ogilvie (or Ogilvy) of Barras was appointed lieutenant-governor of the castle, and given responsibility for its defence.
In November 1651 Cromwell's troops called on Ogilvie to surrender, but he refused. During the subsequent blockade of the castle, the removal of the Honours of Scotland was planned by Elizabeth Douglas, wife of Sir George Ogilvie, and Christian Fletcher, wife of James Granger, minister of Kinneff Parish Church. The king's papers were first removed from the castle by Anne Lindsay, a kinswoman of Elizabeth Douglas, who walked through the besieging force with the papers sewn into her clothes. Two stories exist regarding the removal of the honours themselves. Fletcher stated in 1664 that over the course of three visits to the castle in February and March 1652, she carried away the crown, sceptre, sword and sword-case hidden amongst sacks of goods. Another account, given in the 18th century by a tutor to the Earl Marischal, records that the honours were lowered from the castle onto the beach, where they were collected by Fletcher's servant and carried off in a creel (basket) of seaweed. Having smuggled the honours from the castle, Fletcher and her husband buried them under the floor of the Old Kirk at Kinneff.
Meanwhile, by May 1652 the commander of the blockade, Colonel Thomas Morgan, had taken delivery of the artillery necessary for the reduction of Dunnottar. Ogilvie surrendered on 24 May, on condition that the garrison could go free. Finding the honours gone, the Cromwellians imprisoned Ogilvie and his wife in the castle until the following year, when a false story was put about suggesting that the honours had been taken overseas.[ Much of the castle property was removed, including twenty-one brass cannons, and Marischal was required to sell further lands and possessions to pay fines imposed by Cromwell's government.
At the Restoration of Charles II in 1660, the honours were removed from Kinneff Church and returned to the king. Ogilvie quarrelled with Marischal's mother over who would take credit for saving the honours, though he was eventually rewarded with a baronetcy. Fletcher was awarded 2,000 merks by Parliament but the sum was never paid.

Visiting Hermitage Castle
Situated on a key route into Scotland, Hermitage Castle has been described as the 'guardhouse of the bloodiest valley in Britain'. Originally built by a Norman settler it was taken by the English during the Wars of Independence, seized by the Douglas clan and was the scene of a Royal scandal between Mary Queen of Scots and the Earl of Bothwell.

I hope you enjoy the visit.

Castle Campbell Clackmannanshire Scotland
Tour Scotland video of photographs of Castle Campbell and gardens located above Dollar in Clackmannanshire. This was the seat of the earls and dukes of Argyll, chiefs of Clan Campbell, and was visited by Mary, Queen of Scots, in the 16th century. The tower house was built in the early 15th century and was known as Castle Gloom. The castle was originally a property of the Clan Stuart but passed by marriage to Colin Campbell, 1st Earl of Argyll and Lord Chancellor of Scotland. He had the name of the castle changed to Castle Campbell by an Act of Parliament in 1489. A small selection of my personal photographs shot on small group tours of Scotland.
