Currie (Scottish Gaelic: Currach) is a suburb of Edinburgh, Scotland, situated 7 miles south west of the city centre. A former village within the County of Midlothian, it lies to the south west of the city, between Juniper Green (NE) and Balerno (SW) on the Lanark Road. Administratively, Currie falls within the jurisdiction of the City of Edinburgh Council. It gives its name to a civil parish.
In 2001 the population of Currie was 8,550 and it contained 3,454 houses.
There is no accepted derivation of the name Currie but it is possibly from the Scottish Gaelic word curagh/curragh, a wet or boggy plain, or from the Brythonic word curi, a dell or hollow. The neighbouring suburb of Balerno derives its name from Scottish Gaelic, whilst the nearby Pentland Hills derive their name from Brythonic, so either is possible.
The earliest record of a settlement in the Currie area is a Bronze Age razor (1800 BC) found at Kinleith Mill and the stone cists (500 BC) at Duncan's Belt and Blinkbonny. There are a few mentions of this area in mediaeval and early modern documents. One of the first is when Robert of Kildeleith became Chancellor of Scotland in 1249. Kildeleith means Chapel by the Leith, and survives today as Kinleith. Robert the Bruce gave Riccarton as a wedding present in 1315 and in 1392 the land passed to the family of Bishop Wardlaw. In 1612 the land went to Ludovic Craig, a Senator of the College of Justice. In 1818 it passed to the female line and became the property of the Gibson-Craigs.
The Currie Cup tournament (also known as the ABSA Currie Cup for sponsorship reasons) is South Africa's premier domestic rugby union competition, played each winter and spring (June to October), featuring teams representing either entire provinces or substantial regions within provinces. Although it is the premier domestic competition, South African teams also compete in the international Super Rugby competition.
Steeped in history and tradition, the Currie Cup dates back to 1889. The tournament is regarded as the cornerstone of South Africa's rugby heritage, and the coveted gold trophy remains the most prestigious prize in South African domestic rugby.
Alan Ferguson Rodger, Baron Rodger of Earlsferry FRSE FBA PC (18 September 1944 – 26 June 2011) was a Scottish lawyer and Justice of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom.
He served as Lord Advocate, the senior Law Officer of Scotland, before becoming Lord Justice General and Lord President of the Court of Session, the head of the country's judiciary. He was then appointed a Lord of Appeal in Ordinary (Law Lord) and became a Justice of the Supreme Court when the judicial functions of the House of Lords were transferred to that Court.
Alan Rodger was born on 18 September 1944 in Glasgow, to Professor T Ferguson Rodger, Professor of Psychological Medicine at the University of Glasgow, and Jean Margaret Smith Chalmers, and educated at the independent Kelvinside Academy in the city. He studied at the University of Glasgow, graduating with an MA, and at the University's School of Law, taking an LLB. He then studied at New College, Oxford—under David Daube, Regius Professor of Civil Law—where he graduated with an MA (by decree) and DPhil, and was Dyke Junior Research Fellow at Balliol College, Oxford, from 1969 to 1970 and a Fellow of New College from 1970 to 1972.
A driving test (also known as a driving exam, driver's test, or road test) is a procedure designed to test a person's ability to drive a motor vehicle. It exists in various forms worldwide, and is often a requirement to obtain a driver's license. A driving test generally consists of one or two parts: the practical test, called a road test, used to assess a person's driving ability under normal operating conditions, and/or a written or oral test (theory test) to confirm a person's knowledge of driving and relevant rules and laws.
The world's first mandatory national driver's test was introduced in France in 1899.
To make the test fair, written driving tests are normally standardized tests, meaning that everyone takes the same test under the same conditions. In many places the test can be done by computer, and typically consists of questions related to road signs and traffic laws of the respective country, but may also include questions related to road safety best practices or technical questions regarding vehicle operation and maintenance. In many countries passing a written driving test is required for admission to the practical test.

A pupil passing her driving test without any recorded faults. Her first attempt (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ne-PSbfab4k) resulted in one Serious Fault for driving in a bus lane. The examiner said "Just come back soon" and this proves that he was correct that she didn't need to change much. I've put a few tips in the captions. Only around 0.6% of driving tests in Edinburgh result in 0 Driving Fault Clean Sheets. That's around 45 tests across the 2 Test Centres in Currie and Musselburgh. For my own pupils, the results are much better with over 10% getting a clean sheet since 01/08/14 (correct as of 24/09/16). For lessons and help with your test you can contact me through https://www.facebook.com/EHdrive/
Showing a real driving test taken from the Edinburgh (Currie) Test Centre. The drive was mostly great, but one of the bus lanes was in operation and so the only possible result was a Serious Fault resulting in a fail. The examiner did compliment the drive and genuinely believes that the candidate will pass on the next attempt. The bus lane that caused the problem is just after 15:30 on the video. Update: The pupil was successful just a couple of weeks later, passing with zero faults recorded, which is an outstanding result. The second test is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xd4T36E2CGI This video is not published for people to try and learn test routes as that is not a good way to prepare for tests or for driving after gaining a full licence.

Hey guys, this time I’m continuing my companion guide series with Curie, who has been one of the most highly requested companions.

Her name “Curie” is an acronym for “Contagions Vulnerability Robotic Infirmary Engineer”.

Dr. Collins programmed her personality to be...

Mark explores his journey as a filmmaker and storyteller trying to tell the story of London. But how do you paint a portrait of a city that is home to over 8 million people, 300 languages and stretching over 600 square miles? In 2001 Mark founded Chocolate Films, a South London-based film production company, with Rachel Wang. Last year, Mark and Rachel launched 1000 Londoners - the biggest documentary portrait of a city ever attempted. The project aims to capture the lives of at the widest cross-section of Londoners through 1000 short documentaries. The films are being produced both by London’s professional filmmakers and by people who have never made films before, including homeless charities, youth groups and adults recovering from addiction issues. The films are made without an agen...
