The Scottish Police College, based at Tulliallan Castle, in Kincardine-on-Forth, provides basic training to all new recruits to the Scottish Police Forces. • • The College also provides further training in various specialist areas, such as Road Policing, Criminal Investigation, and also training for officers who have been promoted. • • The motto of the college is, BI GLIC - BI GLIC, which is the cry of the Oystercatcher which translates from Gaelic as ' Be Wise, Be Circumspect '.[1] Oystercatchers can be found throughout the grounds of the college. The College Crest depicts two Oystercatchers surrounding the crest of the Scottish Police Service which is in itself surrounded by two books to signify learning. • • Tulliallan Castle, a 160 year old mixture of Gothic and Italian style architecture set amid some 90 acres (360,000 m2) of parkland just north of where the Kincardine Bridge spans the River Forth, is the home of the Scottish Police College.[1] • • The Castle was built for George Keith Elphinstone (Admiral Lord Keith, one time senior officer of Lord Nelson), from money received from prize ships. Construction was carried out by a labour force said to include French prisoners of war. • • During the Second World War Tulliallan Castle was used by the Free Polish Army as their headquarters in Scotland.[1] • • Prior to the Second World War there was no central training for police officers in Scotland, but immediately thereafter it was decided that probationer Constables from all forces should be trained centrally and that some training for more senior officers should also be provided. The result was Tulliallan, purchased in 1950 by the then Scottish Home Department for £9,100. The building was modernised and renovated and the first courses for inspectors and sergeants began in 1954.[1] • • The Scottish Police Memorial, a memorial to all Scottish police officers to have lost their lives in the line of duty, is located within the grounds of the College, near to the entrance of the College and faces the main buildings. It is sheltered by established trees and is beautifully landscaped, affording both presence and privacy. • • The memorial comprises three large marble stones, which carry the names of all Scottish police officers to have lost their lives in the line of duty • • The stones sit in an area that has been transformed into a landscaped garden, with seating and shrubbery, affording privacy to visitors. A flagpole at the entrance to the area adjoins the main road through the college, and flies the specially commissioned memorial flag. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottish...
