Happy Birthday Kenneth Campbell "Ken" Stott, born on October 19th 1954 in Edinburgh.

One of my favourite actors, as hard-drinking Detective hero of Ian Rankin's popular book he was Inspector John Rebus to me. Ken's Father was Scottish and a teacher, his mum a Sicilian, he went to the famous George Herriots school before going onto to Mountview Theatre School, where the distinguished actor Sir John Mills was president. Fellow Scot Douglas Henshall was also a student of the school. Before leaving Edinburgh Stott had been in a band called Keyhole some of the members of the group would later join the Bay City Rollers.

Ken went on to work with the Royal Shakespeare Company but the pay was poor and he subsidised his earnings by selling double glazing. His first TV role was in Secret Army for the BBC, parts in TV shows throughout his career have included, Taggart (of course) The Singing Detective, London's Burning, Your Cheatin' Heart and Silent Witness. He was insome good films too, The Debt Collector (with Billy Connolly) , Shallow Grave, (with Ewen MacGregor) and Plunkett & Macleane (with Robert Carlyle).

My favourite shows of Ken's have been the brilliant BBC Scotland series, Takin' Over the Asylum in which starred as Double Glazing salesman, but aspiring disc jockey

with David Tennant and Angus Macfadyen,The ITV series The Vice was also a cracking series where he played DI Pat Chappel and The BBC show Messiah, where again he played a cop, DCI Red Metcalfe where he learned sign language for scenes with his screen wife,and Rebus of course, when the show was resurrected in 2006, Stott was a first choice for many as D.I John Rebus, John Hannah had the role in the first incarnation, mainly due to it being made by his own production company.

On film Ken is probably best known for his role as the Dwarf, Balin in The Hobbit trilogy. He is a popular choice for voice work, as narrator for series such as Trawlermen, a documentary following North Sea trawlers, and Send in the Dogs, following the work of Police Officers and their canine partners.

One of my favourite stories about Ken Stott echoes the no nonsense approach of Rebus, on stage during Arthur Miller's A View From The Bridge, he halted the play when a group of teenage schoolkids were misbehaving and disturbing the show, switching from his stage American to his native Scots accent he told the teacher responsible for the children to remove them, or the play would not go on.

The house lights were switched on and there was then a 15-minute stand-off as discussions took place with the offending youngsters.

The audience took the side of Stott and even resorted to chanting 'out, out, out' in extraordinary scenes. Eventually the three culprits and an embarrassed teacher was forced to creep away before the play resumed at the Duke of York's Theatre.

Of his recent stuff check out The Dig,, it a decent film and based on a true story of an archaeologist embarks on the historically important excavation of Sutton Hoo in 1938.

I can't see anything happening on Ken's IMDb page, but there is a third series of the Irvine Welsh show Crime in development, so I expect he will reappear in that.

This is historical not etymological but Scotclans and clan.com are incredible boredom killers so I wanted to join in.

Nathan MacKinnon is from Clan MacKinnon (originally in gaelic it's MacFhionghuin) which claims to be descended from the royal family of Kenneth MacAlpine. The clan slogan of “Cumnich Bas Alpin” or “Remember the death of Alpin” refers to the great-grandson of Kenneth, who was slain by Bruch, King of the Picts, in 837. His son Fingon, or “fair-born” is hailed as the progenitor of the clan. The 2 most important parts of clan history are that they fucking hate the MacLeans (neighbouring clan) and they supported the Stewart dynasty, having provided shelter to a 70 year Charles Edward Stewart.

Mason McTavish is a part of clan MacTavish; the Mc instead of Mac usually signifies having settled/been pushed into the Ulster region of Ireland and is common to find amongst highland clans and the MacTavish's are from the west Highlands since the 12th century. The name MacTavish is derived from the phoenetic pronunciation of MacTamhais which means “Son of Tammais” (Son of Thomas). It is likely that this changed in the 17th century as Gaelic was forcibly removed, this would be when Thompson became used as a variation. There's some claim that it's an offshoot of clan Campbell and for some reason some associate it with the moniker "The Children of the Mist" which is from clan MacGregor but anyways the motto is "Non Oblitus" which means forget not.

The Scottish clan websites that I've checked are confident that (Kurtis) MacDermid is a part of Clan Campbell (in Gaelic Caimbeul) and the list of associated names is so fucking long I don't understand it but they have been super influential since the mid 1400s onward. The first occurrence of the name Cambel (how it was originally spelt) found in surviving records owned land near Stirling in 1263. For a Cambel in Argyll the first records date from 1293 for Duncan Dubh, a landowner from Kintyre. Written records for Cambels in Lochawe date from 1296 where it is documented that Sir Cailein was killed after being attacked by Clan Dougall. The clan mythology is that in the 11th or 12th century either Smevie or Mervvn, son of Arthur (yes, that Arthur), became known as "the Wildman of the Woods" used a variation of the name OR that the first of the Campbell's who came to Argyll and married the heiress of the O’Duibne tribe, a lady called Eva, daughter of Paul an Sporran and that they lived near Lochawe. It was under King David (son of Robert the Bruce) introducing more efficient administration that it changed from Cambel to Campbell, the originally most likely came from Sir Cailein Mor Campbell’s grandfather Dugald on Lochawe who was nicknamed "Cam Beul" (curved mouth in Gaelic). I don't know why it got so many variations, like MacDermid, Gibson, Ure, Burns, Loudoun, Kissack, and Malcolm (and more!) all seem so unrelated but whatever.

Anyways you can find this for most Scottish names and Anglicized Irish names (or ones that start with Mc) and it's very fun, some, like the MacCallum's, have stupid (mythological) origin stories.

love name etymology. tkachuk means "weaver." ovechkin means "shepherd" or "sheep." bergeron also means "sheperd." i don't have anywhere to go from here i don't know what the point of this post is. symbolism lives within us all i guess

Recently Ken was in the TV series Devils playing professor Wade in the show. Look out for The Dig, a decent Netflix film about an archaeologist dig in England in 1938 also starring Ralph Fiennes.

Ken reprised his role as Chief Superintendent Bob Toal in the second series of Irvine Welsh's Edinburgh set cop show Crime.

Nominated for many awards, he was lifted two Scottish Baftas and a Laurence Olivier Award.

“Toronto Broker Gets Prison Term,” Windsor Star. February 27, 1942. Page 18.   ---- BELLEVILLE, Feb. 27. - Richard Hughes, investment broker of Toronto, was sentenced to three years in Kingston Penitentiary by Judge E. Madden here yesterday after a trial of one week. Archibald J. Butler, also of Toronto, was sentenced to two years less a day in the Ontario Reformatory. 

It was charged they conspired to defraud Kenneth J. Mackenzie, Walkerton. by obtaining from him monies or valuable securities by means of representations in connection with the Huchmar Gold Mines Limited for shares of the said company.

[AL: Hughes, as a man with some money (he claimed to the prison authorities he was making $100 a week as a broker), launched an immediate appeal, though his attempt to lessen his sentence was dismissed in June 1942. 52, married with two children, Hughes had come to Canada in 1910 from Scotland, and was living on MacLean avenue in Toronto. At Kingston Penitentiary, he was convict #6967, and worked as a cleaner. In September 1942 he was transferred to Collin’s Bay penitentiary and was released on parole from there in October 1943.]

A Taste of Honey Lyrics

A taste of honey... tasting much sweeter than wine

I dream of your first kiss, and then

I feel upon my lips again

A taste of honey... tasting much sweeter than wine

I will return, yes I will return

I'll come back for the honey and you

Yours was the kiss that awoke my heart

There lingers still, 'though we're far apart

That taste of honey... tasting much sweeter than wine

I will return, yes I will return

I'll come back (he'll come back) for the honey (for the honey) and you

"A Taste Of Honey"

Winds may blow o'er the icy sea

I'll take with me the warmth of thee

A taste of honey

Honey much sweeter than wine

I will return

I'll return

I'll come back for the honey and you

I'll leave behind my heart to wear

And may it e'er remind you of

A taste of honey

Honey much sweeter than wine

I will return

I'll return

I'll come back for the honey and you

He ne'er came back to his love so fair

And so she died dreaming of his kiss

His kiss was honey

Honey much sweeter than wine

I will return

I'll return

I'll come back for the honey and you

I'll come back for the honey and you

"A Taste Of Honey"

A taste of honey... tasting much sweeter than wine.

I dream of your first kiss, and then,

I feel upon my lips again,

A taste of honey... tasting much sweeter than wine.

I will return, yes I will return,

I'll come back for the honey and you.

Yours was the kiss that awoke my heart,

There lingers still, 'though we're far apart,

That taste of honey... tasting much sweeter than wine.

I will return, yes I will return,

I'll come back (he'll come back) for the honey (for the honey) and you.

Roger Whittaker Lyrics

Roger Henry Brough Whittaker is a British singer-songwriter

John Royce "Johnny" Mathis

The Shadow of Your Smile

Johnny Mathis

The shadow of your smile

When you are gone

Will color all my dreams

And light the dawn

Look into my eyes, my love, and see

All the lovely things, you are to me

Our wishful little star

Was far, too high

A teardrop kissed your lips

And so did I

Now when I remember spring

All the joys that love can bring

I will be remembering

The shadow of your smile

A teardrop kissed your lips

And so did I

Now when I remember spring

All the joy that love can bring

I will be remembering

The shadow of your smile

(End)

A taste of honey... tasting much sweeter than wine.

I dream of your first kiss, and then,

I feel upon my lips again,

A taste of honey... tasting much sweeter than wine.

I will return, yes I will return,

I'll come back for the honey and you.

Yours was the kiss that awoke my heart,

There lingers still, 'though we're far apart,

That taste of honey... tasting much sweeter than wine.

I will return, yes I will return,

I'll come back (he'll come back) for the honey (for the honey) and you.

The Beatles

A taste of honey

Tasting much sweeter than wine

Do do do

Do do do

I dream of your first kiss, and then

I feel upon my lips again

A taste of honey (a taste of honey)

Tasting much sweeter than wine

Oh, I will return, yes, I will return

I'll come back for the honey and you

Do do do

Do do do

Yours was the kiss that awoke my heart

There lingers still, though we're far apart

That taste of honey, a taste of honey

Tasting much sweeter than wine

Oh, I will return, yes, I will return

I'll come back (he'll come back)

For the honey (for the honey)

And you

12 50/60

Letter from M- 3 pages (dated Lawton put in at Congleton) to say she cannot come now, and asks me to say by return of post “which plan will be most advisable, to risk getting leave by and by for a few days, or to meet you at Northwich” - Came upstairs at 10 35/60 and wrote 3 pages and the ends, pretty small and close, to choose her former proposition, saying I had some reasons against her meeting us at Northwich which it was needless to name now, but which made me think it best to give up the thought of this at all events - In fact, it would not look quite as I should wish - M-’s going (riding over) to sleep at an Inn (a very bad one I suppose) in that way without C- is not the thing; and, tho’ it is a bitter business to me, I cannot consent to her doing (even to give me the greatest possible pleasure) what my judgement does not quite approve - our cards are awkward ones to play - we must manage them carefully and with scrupulous regard to appearances - sent my letter to M- (Lawton) a few minutes after one by William Green - asked her to write by next Friday Saturday or Sunday without fail - wish her to send me twenty pounds if she can and to say what more she can spare before I go I have mentioned the subject so that no one could suppose I alluded to anything but a debt owing from her to me the being obliged to express myself in this sort of way clear enough to her but to mislead others makes me longer about it than I should otherwise be -

Letter also the longest I have ever had from her from Miss Maclean (Quinish, Tobermory, dated June 21st or 22nd with the Glasgow postmark of 5 July) - 3 pages the ends, and the 3 pages crossed - account of her journey - a pretty good account of herself tho’ very thin and a little cough - “I have fortunately gained a very great deal of strength since you saw me, but I am miserably thin, my clothes would contain 2 of my present size, I am quite well, except a very trifling cough - we have very fine weather, but the wind being continually north, I feel it very cold, but it has not injured my throat” - she has for some time washed her throat (I advised it in my last) with vinegar and water she also uses it for her eyes and finds it of use - “My father’s cows sold at from six to fourteen pounds each”, at his sale of agricultural stock in Coll last May - think old Coll’s cattle sold better in Coll than my father’s at Low Grange farm near Market Weighton - Miss McL- left Edinburgh 13 June - spent several days at Benhill (en I think) on the 18th she embarked in the Inverary Castle Steam vessel 200 passengers but “landed and took in many on the way as we stopt for 1/4 hour at Dumbarton, Denon’s? Port Glasgow, Greenock,.....Rothsay - next stopt at Tarbert? and then took leave of the Inverary Castle I cannot make out where - got into a cart went to a little Inn - roused the next morning at 5 to embark in the Highlander (steam vessel which took her luggage from Glasgow I suppose) at 7 about seven miles lower down the canal - “at least a hundred passengers, all on their way to Staffa and Iona - French, English, Irish, and Scotch” - they got out of the canal by 8 and passed the gulf of “Corry vrechcan”? “this dangerous spot is between the Isles of Jura and Scarba - no boat dare venture thro’, except during a half hour at high water - as the contrary tides that meet there instantly sink any vessel that unfortunately is drawn into the whirlpool - we kept close to the shore as far from it as possible, after stopping at Craignish, Blackmill bay, Esdale - Oban - Achanacraig, Artornish, Aros, we entered the harbour of Tobermorry “or ory” about seven in the evening” 10 miles by land and 16 by sea from Quinish - they then embarked in her father’s new sloop the Aros castle after a salute of 3 cannon and a blast of the shrill pipe of Duncan Mac...... “which echoed from rock to rock - this salutation surprised the strangers on board”... “after a good deal of tacking against wind and tide, we landed safely” (from the Aros Castle) “a hundred yards from the house”. - They saluted with their 3 cannon before before landing and were answered from the house by the servants......By the way the letter began with wonder at my asking Lady Seaforth’s age - after rallying me on the subject of curiosity she says, “her eldest daughter is upwards of 40, so you may guess the mother’s age ** Her eldest and only son then died six years since” - poor dear fellow no I never was deceived in an ownfamiliar friend many I have found different from what I had at first judged them to be but I never had time to search for friendships so much occupied from early life in domestic concerns - mine is not a twice but a twenty times told tale and you know how delightful it is to fill sheet after sheet with the same subject - she long afterwards expresses great indifference to prolonged life - She mentions having finished her despatches for York - which she adds I suppose will end my correspondence with the citizens I believe she likes me little time as I have I think of keeping a copy of my answer to this letter -

Wrote all the above of today which took me till 2 1/2 - I did not tell M- I had heard from Miss McL- I had neither much time nor paper, and thought it did not signify much - ** the Scotch Earldom of Seaforth was attainted and forfeited by the Mackenzies in 1715, but the title was restored as an Irish Earldom in 1771 to Kenneth MacKenzie who died in 1782 being then colonel (he had the regiment) of the 72nd - It seems he left a son who died only 6 years ago - this son must have been Earl of Seaforth, but my uncle has found no mention of him-

Britain Moves to Regulate Its Art Trade. Bring Your ID.

LONDON — Britain’s embattled art trade, already rattled by the potential fallout from Brexit, is bracing for new rules intended to tackle money laundering and terrorism financing that some fear could further hamstring dealers in the country.As of Friday, “art market participants” in Britain are subject to the regulations when conducting transactions worth more than 10,000 euros, or about $11,100. Under the rules, they have to register with the government’s tax agency, and dealers and auctioneers must establish the identity of the “ultimate beneficial owner” — meaning both seller and buyer — before entering into a transaction.The legislation, ratified last month by the British Parliament, introduces largely without modification a European Union directive that is at various stages of implementation in other countries in the bloc.“This is very serious. It could potentially change commonly accepted market practices,” said Kenneth Mullen, a partner at the London-based law firm Withers. “Due diligence is going to be fundamental. It does seem to mark a shift toward a more regulated industry.”The international art market is generally an exclusive, often secretive business that has thrived in part thanks to the ability of buyers and sellers to maintain their anonymity. According to Withers, legally certified photographic ID with a date of birth, as well as recent proof of the client’s residential address, will be required to conform with the British regulations, and the name should then be checked against relevant watch or sanction lists.In 2018, the global art market turned over an estimated $67.4 billion in sales, according to last year’s Art Basel and UBS global report on the sector.Britain, with London as its hub, is the second-biggest art trading nation after the United States, with 21 percent of global auction and dealer sales in 2018, according to the report. But will the new regulatory framework put British-based dealers and auction houses at a competitive disadvantage?“It’s going to be difficult for the first year or two,” said Christopher Battiscombe, the director general of the Society of London Art Dealers. “But people will get used to being more open and supplying documents.” “There are wild rumors about London being the money laundering capital of the world,” he added. “We have to be seen to be taking it seriously.”Isabella Chase, a research analyst at the Center for Financial Crime and Security Studies at the Royal United Services Institute in London, said it was impossible to estimate how much criminal money was being spent on art in the British capital.“But it’s well known London has a money laundering problem,” she said. “We’re an attractive jurisdiction for the proceeds of crime and corruption and we’re an attractive place to spend it.”In the absence of a rigorous regulatory framework, money laundering has been difficult to detect in the British art market, with the exception of some high-profile cases. In 2018, for example, the Mayfair-based dealer Matthew Green was charged with helping to launder money through a $9.2 million Picasso painting.Image

The businessman Jho Low spent as much as $200 million of looted public funds on big-ticket artworks.Credit...Scott Roth/Invision, via Associated PressTwo years earlier, the flamboyant Malaysian businessman Jho Low was revealed to have spent as much as $200 million of looted public funds on big-ticket works by artists including van Gogh, Picasso and Basquiat at Christie’s and Sotheby’s auctions. Most of the pictures were bought in New York, but in 2014, Mr. Low spent $57.5 million on a Monet “Nympheas” canvas at a London auction.Martin Wilson, the chief legal counsel at the auction house Phillips, said, “At the heart of the new legislation is a requirement that art market participants must carry out due diligence in relation to the identity of their customers and be able to answer the important question, ‘Who am I really dealing with?’”Mr. Low (who is said to be in hiding) was a well-known figure, but hundreds of British dealers regularly do business with intermediaries whose livelihoods depend on not revealing the identity of an artwork’s “ultimate beneficial owner.” The legislation could make art advisers in the United States, who are currently not subject to such industrywide regulation, more reluctant to transact with British galleries.Art traders in Britain have also expressed concern that a requirement to reveal the identity of a third party could affect smaller participants. “A dealer might represent one really good collector, and if the name has to be revealed, that collector could be could be taken by a bigger dealer,” said Nicholas Maclean, a partner at Eykyn Maclean, a dealership based in London and New York.There are also practical implications for auction houses and dealers in administering the new legislation.“It’s going to add 30 minutes to an hour of work every day,” said Alon Zakaim, a gallerist in modern and contemporary art based in Mayfair, central London. Mr. Zakaim added that he was nervous about having to comply with the legislation when he takes part in the European Fine Art Fair, or TEFAF, in the Netherlands in March.“If I don’t know someone, I’m going to have to ask them all these questions,” he said. “They could well feel it’s an invasion of privacy,” he added. “I could lose a client.” Read the full article

I started this newsletter at the beginning of 2018 and have been creating it consistently for two years now. It’s been nice to look back each month and take stock of the things I’ve accomplished. It’s also created a sense of structure to my creative work and helped me manage and maintain goals.

My creative goals at the beginning of 2019 were to create zines of my art every month and to work on my writing more seriously and get more fiction published. I didn’t get any fiction published this year but I did join a few writing groups and wrote a lot. This year has been more about learning to better edit my own work and getting a wide range of critique. I hope to write and submit even more in 2020.

My artwork was featured at two group shows, Blueberries and The Night of One Thousand Cocks, both at Public Pool Gallery in Hamtramck, MI

Here are my top nine posts on instagram this year.

Happy Birthday Kenneth Campbell “Ken” Stott, born on October 19th 1954 in Edinburgh.

Born in 1955 in Edinburgh he was educated at George Heriot’s School where his father was the Head of the English Department, his mum worked as an Italian literature professor at nearby Edinburgh University. The couple frequently hosted actors, singers, musicians and other creative types as part of their involvement with the Scots Italian Circle, a cultural exchange organization that his dad was president of.

Before leaving Edinburgh Stott had been in a band called Keyhole some of the members of the group would later join the Bay City Rollers.

Ken went on to work with the Royal Shakespeare Company but the pay was poor and he subsidised his earnings by selling double glazing. His first TV role was in Secret Army for the BBC, parts in TV shows throughout his career have included, Taggart (of course) The Singing Detective, London’s Burning, Your Cheatin’ Heart and Silent Witness. He was insome good films too, The Debt Collector (with Billy Connolly) , Shallow Grave, (with Ewen MacGregor) and Plunkett & Macleane (with Robert Carlyle).

My favourite shows of Ken’s have been the brilliant BBC Scotland series, Takin’ Over the Asylum in which starred as Double Glazing salesman, but aspiring disc jockey with David Tennant and Angus Macfadyen,The ITV series The Vice was also a cracking series where he played DI Pat Chappel and The BBC show Messiah, where again he played a cop, DCI Red Metcalfe where he learned sign language for scenes with his screen wife, and Rebus of course, when the show was resurrected in 2006, Stott was a first choice for many as D.I John Rebus, John Hannah had the role in the first incarnation.

On film Ken is probably best known for his role as the Dwarf, Balin in The Hobbit trilogy. He is a popular choice for voice work, as narrator for series such as Trawlermen, a documentary following North Sea trawlers, and Send in the Dogs, following the work of Police Officers and their canine partners. Ken’s last movie was the Netflix film, The Dig, a true story based on an archaeological dig in Suffolk in 1938, it is a charming gentle film and a joy to watch, Stott plays  archaeologist  Charles Phillips.

One of my favourite stories about Ken Stott echos the no nonsense approach of Rebus, on stage during Arthur Miller’s A View From The Bridge, he halted the play when a group of teenage schoolkids were misbehaving and disturbing the show, switching from his stage American to his native Scots accent he told the teacher responsible for the children to remove them, or the play would not go on. The house lights were switched on and there was then a 15-minute stand-off as discussions took place with the offending youngsters.

The audience took the side of Stott and even resorted to chanting ‘out, out, out’ in extraordinary scenes. Eventually the three culprits and an embarrassed teacher was forced to creep away before the play resumed at the Duke of York’s Theatre.

Stott was recently in the Scottish police  drama, Crime, along with fellow Scots’ Joanna Vanderham,  Dougray Scott,  Allison McKenzie, and the excellent  Jamie Sives from the BBC series Guilt.  Ken is signed up to return to as Detective Chief Superintendent Bob Toal in Crime, but has been on our screens in the Sky drama series Devils, appearing in 7 episodes as  Professor Philip Wade.

Top Ten Tuesday: Best Dads in Literature

Top Ten Tuesday: Best Dads in Literature

Top Ten Tuesday is a meme started by The Broke and the Bookish. Today’s topic is best dads in literature. Janet Several best dads on my list aren’t biological fathers, but exemplary guardians, mentors, and father-figures. Hyperlinked names lead to reviews; hyperlinked titles lead to the actual text.
