A future with hope
This article presents the findings of a comprehensive study that sought to explore the nature and contributions of, and challenges faced by ethnic diaspora Christian congregations in Scotland. The objective of this project was to gain a deeper understanding of the experiences and dynamics of diaspora Christian congregations in Scotland, shedding light on their current and future roles within the broader Scottish religious landscape
Religion in Scotland’s Census 2001–2022
This piece presents the results from Scotland’s Census 2022, comparing them with results from the Censuses of 2001 and 2011. Noting a considerable rise in those of “no religion” and a fall in those belonging to the Church of Scotland, geographical patterns and an age breakdown are discussed. These figures indicate the scale of the challenge facing Scotland’s denominations
Appian’s Characterisation of Scipio Aemilianus
Volaterrae and the Gens Caecina
The Lex Licinia Mucia and the Bellum Italicum
In a fragment of the Pro Cornelio preserved in Asconius, Cicero condemns the Lex Licinia Mucia of 95 as inutilis and perniciosa to the Republic. The nature of this law and the impact it had on Roman relationships with the allied communities in the tense years before the outbreak of the Bellum Italicum are of central interest to this study. This chapter re-examines the Lex Licinia Mucia in the political context of the 90s BC and restores a widely …
Caenum aut caelum
This article explores the legislative programme of M. Livius Drusus in 91 BC with particular attention to his plans for land distribution. This aspect of his legislation is often overlooked. I will argue that it was central to his plans for the year and that it was of the greatest importance in determining the response of the Italian allies to his programme. Land had been a friction point in Rome’s relations with the allied communities since the …
Talkin' Jockney’? Variation and change in Glaswegian accent 1
This paper presents an analysis of language variation and change in a socially stratified corpus of Glaswegian collected in 1997. Eight consonantal variables in read and spontaneous speech from 32 speakers were analysed separately and then together using multivariate analysis. Our results show that middle‐class speakers, with weaker network ties and more opportunities for mobility and contact with English English speakers, are maintaining traditi…
Conservation and innovation in a traditional dialect
Johnston (1997) suggests that, if defined in terms of phonology, Scots as a traditional dialect in Britain has a “rosy future”. Glaswegian is known to continue Scots L‐vocalization in words such as ball and all . L‐vocalization of a different type, similar to that found in Cockney, is one feature which has been observed to be diffusing rapidly across accents of English. This paper considers the evidence for these two distinct processes of L‐vocal…
