County Of City
County of city (or county of a city) was a term used for certain local government areas in Scotland between 1890 and 1975 which performed the functions of both a county council and the town council of a burgh. There were four such areas, covering the cities of Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh and Glasgow. Each area was governed by a city corporation (also known as a town council) and was administered independently of the surrounding county. The counties of cities were abolished by the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973, and were replaced by regions and districts in 1975. Formation When county councils were established under the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1889, the city of Edinburgh was already deemed to be a county of itself, having been given the right to appoint its own sheriff in 1482 making it independent from Midlothian, with the city being described as the "city and county of the city Edinburgh". Glasgow was subsequently designated as the next county of city in 1893. Dund ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

City Of Edinburgh B
A city is a human settlement of notable size.Goodall, B. (1987) ''The Penguin Dictionary of Human Geography''. London: Penguin.Kuper, A. and Kuper, J., eds (1996) ''The Social Science Encyclopedia''. 2nd edition. London: Routledge. It can be defined as a permanent and densely settled place with administratively defined boundaries whose members work primarily on non-agricultural tasks. Cities generally have extensive systems for housing, transportation, sanitation, utilities, land use, production of goods, and communication. Their density facilitates interaction between people, government organisations and businesses, sometimes benefiting different parties in the process, such as improving efficiency of goods and service distribution. Historically, city-dwellers have been a small proportion of humanity overall, but following two centuries of unprecedented and rapid urbanization, more than half of the world population now lives in cities, which has had profound consequences for g ...

City Of Edinburgh Racing Club
The City of Edinburgh Racing Club is a cycling club based in Edinburgh, Scotland. The club is said to be the most successful club in British track cycling; its members having won numerous national and international medals. Formation The club was formed in November 1982 with affiliation to the East of Scotland Cycling Association and the Scottish Cyclists Union. The club was formed by Brian Annable in response to a lack of Scottish success in cycling. Success at the junior level in 1982 had led to the belief that, with specialised coaching, training and competition, success at British and International mince level could be achievable. At the time no such provision was available to Scottish cyclists and the club was formed with the intention of meeting that need. When it formed in 1982 the club constitution set out an objective of winning medals at the British Track Championships. Club colours and logo The team colours are blue, black and white. The racing attire has blue sl ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
