The Battle of Prestonpans was the first significant conflict in the second Jacobite Rising. The Jacobite army loyal to James Francis Edward Stuart and led by his son Charles Edward Stuart (Bonnie Prince Charlie) achieved a stunning victory over the redcoat army loyal to the Hanoverian George II led by Sir John Cope

I'm intrigued by the primary school on the island. As far as I can tell, they will have access to Scran. Any Scran users on Canna? Get in touch if you're reading this!

Our new newsletter is now available, and like our previous two newsletters it contains full-colour pictures as well as text.

There are two ways in which you can access our new newsletter.

We've uploaded a copy to a website called Issuu. Issuu hosts lots of magazines and publications. It's free to access the site, and it allows you to click, zoom and turn pages just like a real magazine. If you've used any e-readers, such as a Kindle, iPad or Sony Reader, you'll probably like using Issuu.

I blogged a few years ago on the trials and tribulations of online presentations.  We've just done another couple, one using Elluminate for Jisc in West Scotland (it's aimed at FE/HE users, and you can see it at http://www.rsc-sw-scotland.ac.uk/rsctv/RSCtv.htm#archive- it's at 1st March 2011), and a second, longer one for Glow, the Scottish schools intranet, which used the Marratech system.  The latter is no longer being supported, and will be replaced by Glow with Adobe Connect at some point in the next few months.  The Glow session (on Copyright and the Web) should be online to watch at some point in the near future.

To mark the 50th anniversary of the coming of the British Leyland (formerly BMC) Tractor and Truck plant to Bathgate and the 25th anniversary of its closure in 2011, a range of organisations, including Scran, are working together to collect memories, documents and photographs about the plant and its importance to the people of West Lothian for exhibitions, including an online Scran exhibition, a publication and a permanent archive.

The photographer and stylist Corinne Day died recently from a brain tumour.  She was best known for "discovering" the model Kate Moss, but was an accomplished photographer with many exhibitions to her name.  Her obituary is here. 

Some of her work can be seen on Scran: http://www.scran.ac.uk/s/corinne+day
