Lake Of Menteith
Lake of Menteith, also known as Loch Inchmahome (Scottish Gaelic: ''Loch Innis Mo Cholmaig''), is a loch in Scotland located on the Carse of Stirling (the flood plain of the upper reaches of the rivers Forth and Teith, upstream from Stirling). Name Until the early 19th century, the loch was more commonly known by the Scottish name, “Loch of Menteith”, although, on the 1654 map, ''Blaeu Atlas of Scotland'', it is identified as “Loch Inche Mahumo”. The only settlement of any size on the Loch of Menteith is the Port of Menteith. Geography There are a number of small islands in the loch.

After 1788 diseases such as smallpox and the loss of their hunting grounds caused huge reductions in their numbers and they moved further inland. Since European settlement the foreshores of Blackwattle Bay and Rozelle Bay have developed a unique maritime, industrial and residential character - a character which continues to evolve as areas which were originally residential estates, then industrial areas, are redeveloped for residential units and parklands. The first formal grant in the Glebe area was a grant to Rev. Richard Johnson, the colony's first chaplain, in 1789. The Glebe (la ...

Monteith And Rand
Monteith and Rand were a comedy team who had their own Broadway show at the Booth Theater in 1979, produced by James Lipton, after a successful off-Broadway run. "They are highly talented comedians, quick on their feet and resourceful," according to ''The New York Times''. "They have an engaging, good‐natured charm which is useful for the thinner parts of their material. But they have more: An exuberance that leaps at bubbles and sometimes catches them; an instant, poetry of wit." "Monteith and Rand are funny," said ''The Washington Post'' in 1982. "They are usually very funny, even as they take risks in the Arena that haven't been seen since the days of Roman gladiators. This is a daredevil business, with death always in the balance, and it's exhilarating when they escape without a scratch." Suzanne Rand and John Monteith met in the early 1970s at The Proposition, a Boston improvisational theatre. Rand was working for T Second City and Monteith had emerged from the Boston Univ ...
