A New Miscellany-at-Law
Should horses in Charleston be required to wear diapers? Does the hotchpot rule apply when dividing a testator's 17 residuary elephants? Which verse in the Old Testament was the life-saving 'neck' verse? May sexual intercourse be conducted on a without prejudice basis? These questions and many others like them are raised but not always fully answered in A New Miscellany-at-Law. This follows the same style as its two predecessors but consists of entirely new material, some of it suggested by the readers of the first two volumes. Like them, it collects accounts of strange and remarkable cases, striking court-room exchanges, wise and witty utterances from the Bench, and much else that illumines...

The Rob Roy Way
This book, fully updated in 2018, describes a popular week-long walk running for 79 miles (127 km) along some of Scotland's finest lochs and glens, using historic footpaths, a cycle route, forest tracks and some minor roads. Many places are linked with Scotland's most famous outlaw, Rob Roy MacGregor (1671-1734). The Rob Roy Way offers superb scenery, and gets you away from the crowds following the West Highland Way.

Pension Schemes and Pension Funds in the United Kingdom
Dr Blake provides an up-to-date analysis of the historical development of pensions, the characteristics of current pension schemes, and the investment behaviour and performance of pension funds. He explains how the government has influenced the development of private schemes, and examines thefull range of pension schemes operating in the UK today. Some important public policy issues facing pension schemes are investigated: the demographic time-bomb, the future of tax benefits enjoyed by schemes, the ownership of pension assets and surpluses, and the differential treatment of men and women. The author explores the consequences of pension fundbehaviour and performance for capital markets. Developments taking place in Europe and the US are also examined.

The Arran Coastal Way
The Arran Coastal Way is perhaps Scotland's finest circular long-distance trail, running 65 miles (105 km) around the Isle of Arran in a memorable week-long hike from Brodick. It's accessible from near Glasgow by the Ardrossan ferry. Famous as`Scotland in miniature', Arran is rich in scenery, castles, caves and standing stones. The walking is varied, from mountain paths to deserted beaches, from minor road-walking to boulder-hopping, and in places it is refreshingly rugged. Arran's wildlife is uniquely approachable, and its residents welcoming. Our second edition was thoroughly updated during 2017 with many route changes and extra options.A project funded by the Coastal Communities Fund has ...

The text offers a student focused approach providing a clearly written and accessible guide to this most fascinating area of law while equally providing the critical rigour and referencing expected from academics in the field. The Principle of Equity and Trusts promises to be a new classic in the field of equity and trusts textbook; one which is admired by lecturers and students alike.
The Intricacies of Dicta and Dissent
Common-law judgments tend to be more than merely judgments, for judges often make pronouncements that they need not have made had they kept strictly to the task in hand. Why do they do this? The Intricacies of Dicta and Dissent examines two such types of pronouncement, obiter dicta and dissenting opinions, primarily as aspects of English case law. Neil Duxbury shows that both of these phenomena have complex histories, have been put to a variety of uses, and are not amenable to being straightforwardly categorized as secondary sources of law. This innovative and unusual study casts new light on – and will prompt lawyers to pose fresh questions about – the common law tradition and the nature of judicial decision-making.
