Monitored sex fiend faces life sentence
Lord Turnbull told [Brian Moffat]: 'You have been convicted of a serious offence and for the second time of an offence of attempted rape.' The judge said there was sufficient material available to consider that there may be a likelihood that Moffat would seriously endanger the lives, physical or psychological well-being of the public if at liberty. He deferred sentence on Moffat for the preparation of the report and remanded him in custody..
Around town: Walking with botanist Brian
BRIAN Moffat, a botanist, will lead a walk over Corstorphine Hill on Sunday.
THE FORAGE RANGERS The pea-size pound-saver that packs a punch Eager to find the holy grail of pain-free dieting, Fiona Houston and Xa Milne dig up some bitter vetch
While the children take off with the plastic trays for some \"frost sledging\", [Brian Moffat] points at the growing area. \"It likes shelter and here it has drainage on the slope where it grows.\" Sir Robert Sibbald, co-founder of the Royal College of Physicians and the Botanic Gardens of Edinburgh, recorded its use by Highlanders \"in times of dearth and scarcity\" in the 1690s and dubbed the plant Herba Scotica Miraculosa. Moffat has traced entries as far back as the Ancient Britons, where consumption of the heath pea (also called karemyle or wood pea) enabled the Highlanders to \"travel and toil\". \"I would say this plant is four years old,\" he says. We look at the tiny bean in awe. Soon, to our great excitement, we find an even bigger one. \"I bet there'll be at least 30 in here,\" says Moffat with satisfaction.
Backing the cause of the workers
In 2001, former steel boss Sir Brian Moffat took an axe to more than 6000 jobs across the country and more than 1000 workers at the Corus sites in Teesside faced bleak futures. After Sir Brian refused to meet MPs to discuss a bail-out package for the under-threat plant, the Sunday Sun believed he had a lot of questions to answer. Sir Brian's office also cancelled a meeting with a 12-strong delegation, including North MPs, because he did not have space in his diary.
IRN-GREW ; Gardener uses fizz on his flowers
GARDENER Brian Moffat has revealed the secret weapon which makes his garden grow - Irn-Bru. Shopper Angela Robertson, 53, said: \"The flowers at the centre always look lovely. I'm surprised to hear they use Irn-Bru. He said: \"It is possible that the sugars, caffeine and citric acids in Irn-Bru are feeding microorganisms in the soil, making it stronger and more nourishing.\"
Medieval archive could be history
The archive, weighing around four tonnes, is the work of archaeo- botanist Dr Brian Moffat, who has spent the past 20 years investigating the work of medieval monks at the former Soutra Hospital site at Soutra Aisle, Midlothian. He said: \"Everyone who sees that video will know about Soutra and the archive and I am expecting a lot of visitors. It is a real shame that we will not be able to open a visitors' centre, especially when we are celebrating our 20th anniversary next year.\" A Midlothian Council spokeswoman said: \"The council and Dr Moffat have had an agreement for the archives of Soutra Hospital to be stored in Fala Primary School since April 2005 at a rent of GBP 100 per month, with agreed termination notice of seven days. This monthly sum has been 100 per cent grant funded by Midlothian Council.
Getting to the roots of Soutra's old cures
Hospitals run by monks or canons were common across much of Europe in the Middle Ages, but Dr Brian Moffat, an archaeo-botanist who has been working on the Soutra site since 1986, says it is one of the best preserved partly because of its now isolated position and partly because the ground is waterlogged clay, perfect for preservation. Ancient botanical evidence unearthed from that thick sticky clay shows the canons treated conditions from depression to cancer. And, Dr Moffat says, the remnants of plants found there also show that the canons helped induce childbirth - which was strictly forbidden to their order - amputated limbs and even tackled the effects of cryptosporidium. As Dr Moffat says, there is much work still to be done as Soutra slowly gives up its medical secrets. \"There is a huge gap in what we know about the history of medical practice. Often the books were just telling people what they weren't to do. And we don't know how typical that 'pharmacist's bucket' is. Was this what they typically threw out every day or not?\"
Warning as deadly hemlock on increase
Pharmacologist Dr Brian Moffat has carried out a survey of the potentially deadly weed, and has discovered more than 850 flowering hemlock plants along the A68 road from Dalkeith. \"We would warn people not to touch hemlock - the problem is that it looks like a lot of other plants and is difficult to identify. People living in the Dalkeith area should be particularly careful. Sometimes people boil leaves for tea, and if they made a mistake and added hemlock to that, it could be deadly. You don't need to take very much for it to be fairly toxic.\" The first modern scientific report of hemlock poisoning happened in Edinburgh in 1845, where a man called Duncan Gow died after he ate hemlock gathered by his children from beneath the Scott Monument.
