Dunblane is a town in the council area of Stirling in central Scotland. It is a commuter town, with many residents making use of good transport links to much of the Central Belt, including Glasgow and Edinburgh. Dunblane is built on the banks of the Allan Water (or River Allan), a tributary of the River Forth. Dunblane Cathedral is its most prominent landmark. Dunblane had a population of 8,114 at the 2001 census which grew to 8,811 at the 2011 census, both figures computed according to the 2010 definition of the locality.
The most popular theory for the derivation of the name Dunblane is that it means fort of Blane, commemorating Saint Blane (or Bláán in Old Irish), an early Christian saint who lived probably in the late 6th century. His main seat was originally Kingarth on the Isle of Bute. He or his followers may have founded a church at Dunblane; the cult of Bláán possibly came there with settlers from what is now Argyll in later centuries. The earliest spellings of the name Dunblane are of the form Dul Blaan, the first element being a Pictish word for 'water meadow, haugh' which was borrowed into Gaelic. There are parallels to Dul Blaan in such Scottish place-names as Dalserf, Dalmarnock and Dalpatrick, all of which commemorate saints.
The earliest evidence for Christianity on the site are two cross-slabs of the 10th to 11th centuries which are preserved in the cathedral. Incorporated into the later medieval building, but originally free-standing, is an 11th-century bell-tower, whose height was increased in the 15th century. The nave and aisleless choir are 13th century. Dunblane did not have a rich or extensive medieval diocese (37 parishes), and the cathedral is relatively modest in scale, but its refined architecture is much admired, as is its setting overlooking the valley of the Allan Water.
After the Reformation, the nave of the cathedral was abandoned and soon became roofless and used for burials. The choir was retained as the parish church. The nave was re-roofed and the cathedral provided with new furnishings by Robert Rowand Anderson between 1889 and 1893. During the boom years of the Hydropathy movement in the 19th century, Dunblane was the location of a successful hydropathic establishment.
Since the early 1970s the town has grown extensively and is now regarded as a highly sought-after commuter town due to its excellent road and rail links and good schools. Dunblane is close to the University of Stirling's campus at Bridge of Allan, and is a popular location for academics. Japanese Wagyu beef is now being raised in Dunblane.
Dunblane currently has two supermarkets, a Tesco (opened in 1996) and a M&S Foodhall (opened in 2009), as well as a local Co-op (opened after the Marks and Spencer). Among other shops, the High Street has two independent butchers and branches of the Bank of Scotland and Royal Bank of Scotland. Over the course of 6 years, a small group of young local boys and their parents raised money to build a skatepark in the Laighills. The skatepark was completed on 23 February 2007 and has already been visited by Death skateboard team and by the Vans UK Tour.

Inside the Brotherhood - 2 of 6 (based on martin short book - Inside the brotherhood)
A firm within a firm
One of the biggest corruption scandals with the the english police. The Scotland yard network that was a firm in a firm. In this Episode there is Interviews with Freemasons policemen that talkes about the corruption.
Freemason and corruption have been a problem for decade. Many aligations involves an outsider that use his freemason bond to a freemason police to drop procesution for cases like carless driving.
In 1969 the English Times Newspaper was contacted with a smal time criminal that was tired of constantly extortion by the police. The reporters tape recorded his next incounter with the corrupt policemen. The police explained how the criminal could buy immunity. The term the police used was that he was a member of a firm within a firm. This later blowed upp in a major corruption scandal. The police that was talking was Freemason police John Simons. Later the police broke the silence and told the truth after served two years in prison.
Ironically by then Freemason Bill moody that was investigated him was convicted to served 12 years in 1977 with commander ken that for taking large sum of bribes.
What was showed in the Porn Squad investigation showed that Moody took 40.000 pund a year. Pornografer Davied was use to create more corrupt relationships. At least three other of the involved was Freemasons.
This is not the first time. Back in 1877 bribes and corrupion was so spread in Scotland yeard that a complete organisation was done. Even then Freemasons was involved.
(14:10)
Policeman John Simmonds hade been a Freemason for 15 years when started in scotland Yard (Former Head of CID) in 1978. Becouse of suspected police corruption he did now expose that he was a Freemason even when other police did use the usual secret secret signs, language and contact to see if was a member of the Brotherhood. But later a detective phil found out that we was one the scuare. This police later told him about hes crime thinking the oaths of silence would make the talk confidencial. Many Freemason take the craft very seriously like a religion according to Simminds but John simmonds acted as a real policmen and taped that 3h talk where detective Phil exposed everything and everyone that was involved in the early bank robberys.
(18:30)
John Simmonds now become a Freemason outcast becouse he betrayd the craft. Simmonds left the Freemasons becouse of the gap between Freemaons high principal and they often shady practice.
In 1979 Gibson was installed as a Worshipful Master after 7 years as a known criminal. Soon after he became a Worshipful Master he did a 4 milon pound silver robbery and was convicted for 10 years. On his realese from prison his lodge welcomed him back. Grand Lodge let him and the other Freemasons that did the robbary stay as Freemasons. Not untill later for some reason Grand Lodge change there mind and trough a debate and vote the criminals was finaly was expelled.
Scotrail Class 365 Happy Trains are being withdrawn, It is the End of the Line...
This is not so happy news for the Happy Trains I hope they won’t be sad.
This week has come with some sad news, ScotRail have announced the withdrawal of Class 365 from its fleet, now more Class 385s are in service.
ScotRail introduced the fleet of 10 Class 365 ‘happy trains’ last summer as a stopgap whilst preparing for the introduction of the brand new Class 385s. Well that was Scotrail’s worlds, however we all know it was down to problems with the fishbowl curved windows that have now been replaced with flat windows amongst other problems.
The Class 365s that are now 23 years old are dubbed as ‘happy trains’ due to their yellow front, windscreen and curved grinning air intake grill that resembling a smiley face.
The Class 365s did a great job provided over 17,000 extra seats per day on the Glasgow Queen Street to Edinburgh via Falkirk High route, as well as additional services on the recently electrified Stirling, Dunblane, and Alloa lines.
The new Class 385s along the Central Belt will deliver faster journeys on more reliable and modern trains.
The Class 365s were introduced as a temporary measure whilst various problems on the new Class 385s were ironed out. One of the faults was the Driver’s windscreen being smaller and of a tighter curvature. This resulting in reports of Drivers being able to see ‘two or three signals’ where only one existed. Other faults included software issues, as well as a critical fault which resulted in the brakes being isolated.
The first of the Class 365s have now been withdrawn, with the remainder to be phased out over the coming week. So if you want to see that happy smiling face of the Happy Train you better be quick.
Great Northern are also withdrawing their fleet of happy trains from service.
So this might be the last chance to see the beautiful smiling Happy Trains, so if you have been fortunate enough to have travelled on them and have some fond memories please leave your experiences in the comments below.
Mine was the time I got on one by accident at Glasgow Queen Street and had the whole happy train to myself from Glasgow to Edinburgh if you would like to see that video I will leave a link after this video and in the description below.
We do hope you enjoyed this video,
