Is there anyone in Singapore who could help me retrieve a 1955 death certificate?
I could repay with visiting Kew and or the British Library...
Many thanks in advance

Massacre at Monzievaird Church 1490
I'm trying to locate the site of the Massacre at Monzievaird. Apparently it took place at the Kirk of Monzievaird, Perthshire. I think the building may have been in Hosh. Am I correct? Does this building or it's foundations still exist? I think this church may have been closed, and absorbed into the...

Re: North Berwick - The Little Bass and Catherine Watson

You can see it clearly on the map of 1832. http://maps.nls.uk/view/74491922 It's a landmark because of its similar...

Idiom: Hunching at the bit
I was watching an interesting movie by James McAvoy recently; Trance (2013). When he was interviewed about why he took the part, James says: "I was hunching at the bit, as we say in Scotland... It just means I was desperate...I was hungry to play this part." http://www.npr.org/2013/03/30/175709286/w...

The stone cross shown is Caedmon's Cross in the graveyard of St. Mary's Church in Whitby; the film Whitby Prays For Fishermen 1948.
