Mourners line the streets ahead of Corporal Hoole's funeral - Daily Mail
Mourners lined the streets in Corporal Hoole's home village of Ecclefechan as a piper led the hearse to the Crichton Memorial Church in nearby Dumfries. Corporal Hoole, of The Rifles regiment, was on a training exercise when he collapsed during a run in the Brecon Beacons on July 19. His coffin was carried by a military bearer party which included his brother, Tyrone (bottom right), who is also a soldier. Carrying a handkerchief, his fiancée Rachel McKie (top right), who the soldier was due to marry next year, wore the regimental badge to the church service.

SUNNYSIDE ROYAL HOSPITAL. HILLSIDE. MONTROSE. ANGUS. SCOTLAND.
SUNNYSIDE ROYAL HOSPITAL. HILLSIDE. MONTROSE. ANGUS. SCOTLAND. September 2015.
Sunnyside Royal Hospital was a psychiatric hospital located in Hillside, north of Montrose, Scotland. The hospital was originally founded in 1781 by Susan Carnegie as the Montrose Lunatic Asylum, Infirmary & Dispensary and obtained a Royal Charter in 1810. The original building was situated on the Montrose Links on a site bounded by Barrack Road, Ferry Road and Garrison Road.
In 1834, the Governors of the asylum, carrying out the wishes of Mrs Carnegie (who had strongly advocated the appointment of a medical specialist in insanity) appointed the phrenologist William A.F. Browne as medical superintendent. Browne was to prove an inspired choice and an energetic and resourceful leader. He regarded public education as part of his duties, and gave a series of lectures which became enormously popular and influential. In 1837, five lectures were published together under the title What Asylums Were, Are and Ought To Be; this book came to the attention of the Dumfries philanthropist Elizabeth Crichton. She travelled to Montrose, interviewed Browne and offered him the equivalent post at the Crichton Royal in Dumfries. Crichton offered Browne a raise from £150 to £350 per annum. Browne was succeeded at Montrose by Richard Poole, an early psychiatric historian, and, later, by Dr James Howden, who identified cases of pellagra in the asylum.
In 1858, a new improved asylum was completed to the north of Montrose in the village of Hillside on lands of the farm of Sunnyside and the old site was vacated. This site was further developed with the construction of a new facility for private patients called Carnegie House in 1899. Despite this addition, overcrowding was a problem, as the asylum's patient numbers had grown to 670 by 1900. This situation required additional building work to be undertaken. Consequently, two new buildings - Howden Villa (1901) and Northesk Villa (1904)- were added to the facility. Additional staff were required to care for the additional patients and the Westmount Cottages were built in 1905 to house them. In 1911 the lease of Sunnyside Farm finally expired and over 52 acres were purchased for the sum of £4500. A further development was the addition of Angus House, which was built in 1939 to accommodate elderly patients suffering from dementia.
In 1948, the National Health Service 1946 (Scotland) Act brought the hospital under control of the Eastern Regional Hospital Board. Its name was changed from the Royal Asylum of Montrose to the Royal Mental Hospital of Montrose. In 1962 it became Sunnyside Royal Hospital and came under the jurisdiction of new management. During the 1950s and 1960s, the introduction of new drugs lessened the need for prolonged admission of patients. In addition, the Mental Health (Scotland) Act of 1960 also significantly altered legislation in respect of mental illness and reduced the grounds on which someone could be detained in a mental hospital.
The archives of the hospital are held by Archive Services, University of Dundee as part of the NHS Tayside archive.
The site was officially closed in late 2011 and most patients were sent to a new £20 million build at Stracathro Hospital, (also in Angus)- the Susan Carnegie Centre. Others were placed in the community. Sunnyside was open for 230 years before it closure, and was the oldest psychiatric hospital in Scotland.

Inch Abbey graveyard Mausoleums
I'm back down at Inch Abbey outside Downpatrick. This time I'm in the adjoining graveyard to look at the examples of mausoleums found there.
The graveyard at Inch abbey is marked out by a walled enclosure to the north of the old abbey. The abbey is about half a mile south of the new road from Crossgar to Downpatrick across a new Quoile bridge It is in the townland and parish of Inch. The word means an island and it was one in the Quoile marshes until modern times The site is very beautiful overlooking the river and Downpatrick Cathedral. A Celtic monastery existed here of which little is known but in 1180 John de Courcy established a Cisterican abbey. the nave of which was completed about 1200 The abbey church fell into ruins in the fifteenth century and a new parish church was built in 1610 in the centre of the present grave- yard (Lewis) A stone from this church or earlier is over the Maxwell vault and a crucifixion scene of this period is in the modern church The ruins of the church were pulled down to make way for the Maxwell vault, which dominates the graveyard Two old stones of 1662 have been built into the approach to this and are the oldest extant in the graveyard though one to Melville of 1628 formerly existed in the abbey. The graveyard Is in very good order but the Gray stone had to be pieced together from about 30 fragments,.The present Inch Parish Church is 1 miles to the north and was built in 1730 with a tower added in 1784 and an aisle In 1826 One memorial tablet from it has been included below There is no graveyard round this church The Parish registers are preserved in parochial custody, baptisms from 1767, marriages from 1764 and burials from 1788 Two inscriptions from the graveyard are included in Memorials of the Dead, XI, 26 In the Linen Hall Library (Blackwood Collection) is a typed volume entitled 'Gossiping about the Parish of Inch' by T W Hanna, dated 1861.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The University of Glasgow (Scottish Gaelic: Oilthigh Ghlaschu; Latin: Universitas Glasguensis; abbreviated as Glas. in post-nominals) is the fourth-oldest university in the English-speaking world and one of Scotland's four ancient universities. It was founded in 1451. Along with the universities of Edinburgh, Aberdeen, and St. Andrews, the University was part of the Scottish Enlightenment during the 18th century. It is currently a member of Universitas 21, the Russell Group and The Guild of European Research-Intensive Universities.
In common with universities of the pre-modern era, Glasgow originally educated students primarily from wealthy backgrounds, however, it became a pioneer in British higher education in the 19th century by also providing for the needs of students from the growing urban and commercial middle class. Glasgow University served all of these students by preparing them for professions: the law, medicine, civil service, teaching, and the church. It also trained smaller but growing numbers for careers in science and engineering. The annual income of the institution for 2016–17 was £607.5 million of which £179.8 million was from research grants and contracts, with an expenditure of £565.9 million.The University was originally located in the city's High Street; since 1870, its main campus has been at Gilmorehill in the West End of the city. Additionally, a number of university buildings are located elsewhere, such as the Veterinary School in Bearsden, and the Crichton Campus in Dumfries.Alumni or former staff of the University include James Wilson (a founding father of the United States), philosopher Francis Hutcheson, engineer James Watt, philosopher and economist Adam Smith, physicist Lord Kelvin, surgeon Joseph Lister, seven Nobel laureates, and three British Prime Ministers.
87 Year Old Man Died After Ambulance Lost Keys
An 87-year-old man died after an East Midlands Ambulance Service crew lost their keys, an NHS report has revealed.
The crew was unable to transport the man, who suffered a cardiac arrest at a Derbyshire golf pavilion and died at the scene despite receiving treatment.
It is one of eight EMAS incidents mentioned in an NHS England report.
The report does not say whether losing the keys contributed to the man's death. EMAS has declined to comment but told NHS England it planned to improve.
Senior management from EMAS were summoned to an emergency risk summit with NHS England over concerns about poor response times to emergency calls, patient safety and eight serious incidents which happened in October.
The report does not go into any further detail about exactly where or when the incident involving the lost keys happened.
In another incident mentioned in the report, a Lincolnshire woman who fell down a flight of stairs was told by paramedics she had bruised her back.
'Unable to handle'
She was in so much pain she called 999 for a second time and, after being taken to hospital, it was found she had a double fracture to her lower spine.
EMAS also recorded one day when it was unable to handle its most serious 999 calls.
The organisation says its improvement plan includes looking at its poor response times to emergency calls, patient safety and the handling of complaints.
In May, EMAS was fined £3.5m because it missed response time targets for a third successive year.
A follow-up meeting with NHS England is due to be held in January - EMAS is holding a public board meeting on 25 November, where performance issues and its improvement plan will be discussed/acted upon.
