Old Photographs Of Pencaitland East Lothian Scotland
Tour Scotland wee video of old photographs of Pencaitland, a village in East Lothian, about 12 miles south east of Edinburgh, 5 miles south west of Haddington, and 1 mile east of Ormiston. The land where the village lies is said to have been granted by William the Lion to Calum Cormack in 1169, who gave the church, with the tithes and other property belonging to it, to the monks of Kelso, in whose possession it remained till a short time prior to the accession of King Robert Bruce. The land subsequently became the property of a younger branch of the Maxwell family, who granted the advowson and tithes to the monks of Dryburgh Abbey, who held them until the Reformation. The Seton family were granted lands in East Lothian, including Winton, by King David I of Scotland in 1150. In the ensuing years the estate has passed through the hands of several eminent families. The origins of the winton house date from 1480 when George, 4th Lord Seton, commenced the building of Wintoun Castle, a tower standing 4 stories high, surrounded by a defensive curtain wall. During the War of the Rough Wooing in 1544, Edward Seymour, Earl of Hertford, all but destroyed the original Wintoun Castle after bombardment and burning. The Pencaitland parish Church of Scotland, at Easter Pencaitland, is apparently of the 16th or early 17th century, but probably standing on medieval foundations. Reverend Angus Makellar DD, was minister of Pencaitland and Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland in 1840 during his term as minister.

Old Photographs Of Ormiston East Lothian Scotland
Tour Scotland wee video of old photographs of Ormiston, a village in East Lothian, near Tranent, Humbie, Pencaitland and Cranston, located on the north bank of the River Tyne. This Scottish village was the first planned village in Scotland, founded in 1735 by John Cockburn, born 1685, died 1758, one of the initiators of the Agricultural Revolution. William Begg, Robert Burns's nephew became the parish schoolmaster at Ormiston. The whole Begg family moved to live with him at Ormiston's schoolhouse. Isabella Begg nee Burns also ran a school here. The family later moved to nearby Tranent in 1834 when William resigned his post and emigrated to America. The word Ormiston is derived from a half mythical Anglian settler called Ormr, meaning serpent or snake . Ormres family had possession of the land during the 12th and 13th centuries. Ormiston or Ormistoun is not an uncommon surname, and Ormr also survives in some English placenames such as Ormskirk and Ormesby. The latter part of the name, formerly spelt toun , is likely to descend from its Northumbrian Old English and later Scots meaning as farmstead or farm and outbuildings rather than the meaning town . Robert Moffat, born 21 December 1795, died 9 August 1883, was a Scottish Congregationalist missionary to Africa, father in law of David Livingstone, and first translator of the Bible into Setswana. Moffat was born of humble parentage in Ormiston. To find employment, he moved south to Cheshire in England as a gardener. In 1814, whilst employed at West Hall, High Legh in Cheshire he experienced difficulties with his employer due to his Methodist sympathies. For a short period, after having applied successfully to the London Missionary Society to become an overseas missionary, he took an interim post as a farmer, at Plantation Farm in Dukinfield, where he first met his future wife. The job had been found for him by William Roby, who took Moffat under his wing for a year. In September 1816, he was formally commissioned at Surrey Chapel in London as a missionary, and was sent out to South Africa. His fiancée Mary Smith, born 1795, died 1870, was able to join him three years later, after he returned to Cape Town from Namaqualand. In 1820 Moffat and his wife left the Cape and proceeded to Griquatown, where their daughter Mary, who was later to marry David Livingstone, was born. The family later settled at Kuruman, to the north of the Vaal River, among the Batswana people. Robert and Mary Moffat had ten children: Mary, Ann, Robert, who died as an infant, Robert, who died at the age of 36, leaving an uncompleted, but published, work on the Setswana language, Helen, Elizabeth, who also died as an infant, James, John, Elizabeth and Jean. Their son John Smith Moffat became a missionary and took over the running of the mission at Kuruman before entering colonial service. Their grandson Howard Unwin Moffat became a prime minister of Southern Rhodesia. Mary preceded Robert in death in 1870, at home in England where they had returned because of failing health. For the last twelve years of his life, Robert spoke throughout England, seeking to raise interest in the mission work. He was presented to Queen Victoria twice at her request and was presented with a Doctor of Divinity degree from Edinburgh University. Robert Moffat died at Leigh, near Tunbridge Wells, on 9 August 1883, and is buried at West Norwood Cemetery. A memorial monument, paid for by public subscription, was erected at his birthplace in 1885.

Edinburgh's Western General Hospital Doubles Up With Hybrid Scanners (Winton Fairburn)
Watch Winton Fairburn, Superintendent Radiographer at the Western General as he talks about the project.
Video transcript:
In the past, with only the nuclear medicine side, it would mean that any abnormality on the scan would need to be investigated further, either by a CT or an MRI which can add another week to ten days to the result being available, which will delay any treatment if required but the combination of both and having the study done on the same day will speed up this part for the patient.
For the patient, this means coming along and having an examination on one day, which would take between 30 minutes and an hour. In the past, they would have to go to another department, either on the same day or on another day, not necessarily within the same week, thus prolonging any report.
For you as a patient, with the combination of the nuclear medicine component which is low resolution but highly sensitive, along with the CT which is a high resolution test; combining the two means that you will get a more accurate result and quicker resolution and treatment.

A Brief Tour of the Great Yew of Ormiston, East Lothian, Scotland by Paul W Greenwood
This yew tree is one of the rarest yew trees in the world because it has become what a yew tree is supposed to be when unhindered by humans and allowed to fulfil itself as nature intends it to be. It is a grove of yew formed by one tree and such places are mentioned in Classical history, myth and legend but often are considered to be a product of over fertile imagination. Ormiston proves the ancient records were true. This yew covers an acre in ground area (roughly half a football pitch)' having layered branches into the ground over many centuries to create a woodland of stems around itself - and create what feels akin to a cathedral like space. Even though this is a female yew because it produces the red fruits called arils, one stem is male, which produces flowers and pollen. The Forestry Commission believe this yew is 'as much as 1,000 years old'. However it could be older as Ormiston is named after a semi-mythical Dark Ages (c.500 - 950 AD) Northumbrian Angle called Ormes, a name meaning 'snake' or 'serpent' and Ormiston means the 'toun' (farmstead) of Ormes. Yews were often planted by settlers who built farmhouses to ''ward off evil''and there are hundreds of examples of this throughout Britain. It is also said that John Knox. a leader of the Scottish Reformation preached under this yew in the 16th century. Not the best quality video but I'm sure you will get the picture of his truly magnificent and mesmerising ancient living being which has witnessed a millenium of history here and perhaps even before Scotland itself was seeded as a nation. What tales it must have to tell......Thank you for watching :-)

Dr. Dixon Discusses Advances in Breast Cancer Treatment
J. Michael Dixon, MBChB, MD, Professor of Surgery and Consultant Surgeon of the University of Edinburgh; and Clinical Director of the Edinburgh Breast Unit at the Western General Hospital in Edinburgh, Scotland, discusses how breast cancer treatments have advanced in the past few years.
Dixon explains that because of better screening and increased patient education breast cancer is being caught at an earlier stage, which is improving treatment. Surgical improvements have also lead to better outcomes. The use of breast conserving surgery has greatly improved, which in turn improves the quality-of-life of breast cancer survivors.
