Mr Lothian followed in his father’s footsteps by carrying on the business founded by him, and expanded both the circulation and influence of the "Advertiser," as well as the general business of printing. Mr Lothian was an elder in the congregation now known as the West U.F. Church, with which the family are still connected. In 1841 he started a paper – a very small sheet, – first in monthly form, then fortnightly, then permanently as a weekly – the "Alloa Advertiser." We are glad to mention that Mr Lothian lived to see his ventures in a prosperous condition under the management of his son, James. He therefore resumed school teaching, but through time the printing increased so that he discontinued teaching, and devoted all his attention to printing, and thus became the first printer in Alloa.

A Scarborough hotel owner has been fined for food hygiene offences after an outbreak of Campylobacter.

• It was beautifully furnished and there was plenty of crockery, tableware and cooking utensils.

It was opened by Dr Eadie, preaching from a text he often used in opening churches – "And I will make the place of my feet glorious." Dr Eadie was one of the great ministers of the period. He was a gifted and attractive preacher, and in the year following his settlement here the congregation resolved to take down their old church, and erect the fine church which now adorns the site of the old. It was then under the ministry of the Rev. William Fraser, who came from Crail to Alloa in 1810, and continued his ministry for the long period of 43 years, and died in 1853, aged 74 years.

"From when we walked up the beautiful garden into the front door it felt like home from home."

The Glass Works was then in full swing, and carried on a large trade, foreign competition having as yet not made its appearance to hamper our home industries. We must not forget the blacksmith and mechanic business in the East Vennel carried on by the late Mr Allan Drysdale (whom we will notice further on). The Mills Brewery, long carried on by the late Mr McLay until vacated by him in favour of the late Mr Robert Henderson of Nether Carsebridge, who was joined by his sons, Messrs Thomas and George Henderson, who now carry on the business. The firm was founded by a George Younger about the middle of the 18th century, who was succeeded by his son James, after him was his son George, and he in turn was succeeded by his son James, the father of the two gentlemen who control and manage the business now – Messrs George and James Younger.

What foods are popular at the Winchester Christmas Market?

With the exception of the Noble House of Erskine, represented in our Lord of the Manor, there is none, so far as we know, who can trace their connection with the town so far back as the family of Younger, as their ancestors can be traced back to the sixteenth century. Mr Wingate invented and made up several handy implements for farm work, which found a ready sale in the county. He managed the business himself for many years, before taking in a partner (Mr James Lowe). About 1837 he acquired the business in Mill Street still identified with his name as Wingate & Lowe. He was of a nice, amiable disposition, but unfortunately died in 1874, while still comparatively young when the farm of Longcarse passed out of the family who had held it so long.

The hotel’s location offers easy access to nearby attractions such as Pickering, Scarborough, Malton, Bridlington, and Bempton Cliffs. The hotel has increased accessibility, making it a good choice for guests with mobility concerns. While the hotel offers evening entertainment, some guests found it to be disruptive, especially when trying to sleep. The Wi-Fi signal was noted to be intermittent by some guests. Some guests found the rooms to be a bit cramped, especially when traveling with pets.

By no means; if any difference exists it is all in advancement of those days. At this period, especially in the seventies, the Alloa Musical Association was in the very zenith of its fame and popularity. They acquired an old property in the middle of High Street, and very central, and thereon built the Corn Exchange, which was opened in 1862. There were beautiful catchy melodies, the chorus being given with telling effect by the whole company. Dr Mark paid at least three visits, and was so much impressed with the need of a new hall that he offered to give the proceeds of one night’s drawings if there was a new hall started before his next visit, – an offer which lapsed on account of no beginning having been made by the time he returned. As there was always plenty of snow in winter, there were many fierce battles between the schools; one school would come in force and attack another.

Continuing our account of the first Board, Dr McGowan, owing to failing health, resigned his seat at the Board and office of Senior Magistrate in August, 1855, whereupon Mr James Moir, banker, was elected Senior Magistrate, and he held the post for the long period of eight years. On the night of the 18th October, 1906, before the officials had left the building for the day, it was discovered that the roof was on fire, through the fusing of the electric fittings, and before it was extinguished the whole of the upper storey was destroyed, and the lower flat damaged by water. These were the days of party feeling, which unfortunately made itself visible in the day’s proceedings. It may be noted here that the Commissioners secured a self-contained house in Candle Street, at the corner of Meiklejohn’s Vennel, as premises for transacting municipal business.

Tried pizza night on many occasions and it’s my favourite but they also do Greek night too. People can walk in or park at the pre-barrier car parking spots. These are perfect for downe arms castleton outdoor dining.

Although a business venture, the Estate never forgot the local drinker and Tucker’s Bar (named in honour of Tucker Shepherdson, a regular pubgoer from Ruston) provides a public bar for Wykeham locals.

Although Mr Paton’s family were generally long lived, it was not his lot to be so. The business enterprise, mechanical skill, and integrity of character which Mr Paton brought to bear on the work at Kilncraigs greatly enhanced its prosperity, and under his guidance made the first forward step which has since been followed up by marvellous extensions. Mr Alexander Paton succeeded his father as proprietor and master of Kilncraigs Factory. He had one son who died while a youth, and had also three daughters, – thus ending in the male line this branch of the family. Little is known of his characteristics generally, but for his great piety and exemplary life he was an esteemed member of the "Auld Kirk ower the Burn," and also when the congregation removed to the first church that was built at the Townhead, now Moncrieff Church. Mr Paton carried on the work of dyer until advancing years compelled him to desist.

There was Alexander Wingate, who had the stationer’s shop at the west end of Mill Street (now carried on by Mr Thorburn). Mr Wingate, besides the Alloa business, was engaged in other mercantile and shipping interests, and in all his business transactions he proved himself to be a man of the strictest integrity and honour. Mr Wingate was a younger brother of William Wingate of Longcarse, was born at the Dovecot Farm in 1787, and began business in Alloa as far back as 1810, – his partner in business being Mr William Dawson. Their forebears had been in Dovecot Farm, beyond Tullibody, for a long period in the eighteenth century, and Mr William Wingate was born there, and also Mr Alexander Wingate, his brother.

The combination of dryness as generated by Target and Challenger hops, is balanced by sweetness created by the generous use of prime malting barley providing the perfect accompaniment to a wide variety of food flavours as found in a Ploughman’s lunch for instance. When we went into the bar to pay it was full of people in hunting attire having a drink. “The Duke of Wellington is a family run pub, cask ales, great food, beer gardens, fires, all welcome!
