The Story of Calton Jail
Located a short distance from Edinburgh's Princes Street, the castellated design of Calton Hill Prison was often mistaken by 19th-century visitors to the city for Edinburgh Castle. Occupying a prominent site on the rocky slope of Calton Hill, the then largest jail in Scotland was constructed to replace the aging Tolbooth and soon became the region's main correction facility, housing prisoners awaiting trial and those facing execution, including murderers, political agitators, fraudsters, terrorists, and even the notorious body-snatchers Burke and Hare. For the inmates--the first of whom arrived in 1817--life inside the prison was wretched: conditions were squalid and discipline harsh, food was basic, and the cells cold. In this, the first long overdue history of the prison, Malcolm Fife tells the story of Calton Jail's from its earliest days to the present, the staff and prisoners, the escapes and executions, the crimes and punishments, and it's rebuilding and reform. Richly illustrated, it offers an absorbing insight into the Scottish criminal justice system.
RAF Acklington
At the beginning of the Second World War, RAF Acklington was the most important fighter station in northeast England. It started life in 1938 as a training base for RAF aircrew, but after the outbreak of hostilities it was given the role of protecting the skies over Newcastle and its important industrial hinterland. Acklinton's Spitfires and Hurricanes were soon in action against German bombers, as many of the earliest air raids of the war took place over this part of Britain. Due to the importance of this region, with its major ports and industries, it continued to attract the attention of enemy bombers long after the Battle of Britain had been won. By late 1940, most of the attacks took place after dark and RAF Acklington became the host for night fighter squadrons. Unlike many military airfields, it did not close when hostilities ceased, reverting first to its training role, and then becoming the base for fighter aircraft, before closing in the early 1970s.
