What is the Current Scottish Legal Aid Policy? Legal aid in Scotland is the responsibility of the Scottish Legal Aid Board (SLAB), an institutional body created by the Legal Aid (Scotland) Act 1986 (Scottish Legal Aid Board, 2016). The actions of SLAB are consistent and stable but the Scottish government decides the aims of legal aid policy and the Scottish Parliament can implement legislative changes to the policy (Edinburgh & Scottish Legal Aid Board, 2016). The Scottish Legal Aid Board…

EasyJet - Stelios Haji-Ioannou, son of a Greek shipping tycoon, launched EasyJet in 1995 with just £5 million, beginning with a headline-grabbing fare of £29 from Luton to Glasgow (the fare is still about the same today).

Over 1,400 years have passed since the legend of the Loch Ness Monster arose in Scotland. The Loch Ness Monster famously known as Nessie is said to inhabit the Scottish Highlands. The legend of Nessie emerged in the book ‘Life of Saint Columba’ by Adomnan written in the sixth century AD. Saint Columba was an Irish Monk who was in the Land of the Picts to visit the Pictish king when he noticed some residents burying a man by the river. Some of the residents who witnessed what happened explained…

Ness Monster was nothing but a tree trunk floating on the loch. Moreover, when studies appeared in his internet searches about fault lines causing unusual wave patterns, his cynicism increased. But, he could not forget what he saw on that day in Inverness, and the more he thought about it, the more he could disprove every theory…

Welcome to the Land of Ogres It was the moment my world stopped. The moment the birds flew away for safety and little kids playing so noisily outside ran home to their beloved mothers. I can remember it clearly. “James, Yvonne. Your dad is very sick, he can’t cope living here anymore, and his mummy and granny have both died. That is why we’re moving to Scotland.” I could feel the hatred both my brother and I had towards my mum for saying something that was beyond our wildest dreams of…

Thomas S. Monson once said, “The power to lead is the power to mislead, and the power to mislead is the power to destroy.” In Shakespeare’s play, MacBeth, the following characters are responsible for MacBeth’s demise. They are the three witches, Lady MacBeth, and MacBeth. “Our fears about Banquo stick deep… (39)”, “Under him my greatness is threatened.” This shows the cold and calculating nature of MacBeth. Therefore, the characters responsible for MacBeth’s downfall are the three witches, Lady…

Usually, it’s the unplanned events that turn out to be an amazing time, and my unexpected holiday definitely was one. It was not a planned surprise nor was it present but a simple coincidence that happened. My Grannie who is alone has always dreamed of traveling to Austria but the fear of going alone had put her off the idea. I on the other hand had never considered Austria as an appealing place mainly due to the fact I had a lack of knowledge on the country, who knew that it was going to turn…

Act 1, Scene 4, Duncan states that “Our eldest, Malcolm, whom we name hereafter / The Prince of Cumberland; which honor must / Not unaccompanied invest him only, / But signs of nobleness, like stars shall shine / On all deservers. From hence to Inverness, / And bind us further to you.” In this particular quote, Duncan says that he will give praise to individuals with duty and virtue. With these good qualities in mind, the individual is going to shine like a star as light is portrayed as good. In…

In contemporary society, the concept of fate is not given much consideration. Rationality and logic are understood to disprove the existence of an ultimate agency responsible for predetermining the course of events. However, prior to the acknowledgement of such erudition, the influence of fate was widely accepted within many societies, including that of Elizabethan England. Despite having lived within this time period, Shakespeare does not seem to have believed in the concept of fate. In Macbeth…

on thy blade and dudgeon gouts of blood, Which was not so before. There's no such thing: It is the bloody business which informs Thus to mine eyes. (2.1.54-57) The “bloody business” is, of course, his plot to murder Duncan while he resides in Inverness, the Macbeths’ castle. His quote explains how before he even commits his crime, his mind is already feeling guilt from his ambition and Lady Macbeth’s prodding and spiteful words. Afterwards, his guilt intensifies to the point where he becomes…
