The 2014 Referendum on Scottish independence raised many issues about the future of Scotland. It also produced an innovation as regards the electoral process by making 16 years the minimum age of participation. This article examines issues surrounding the voting age and draws on a schools-based study, which shed light on teacher and pupil opinion about this lower than usual threshold for voting. It is also concerned with how schools cover the teaching of politics and prepared students for the Referendum debate within a context of expected neutrality on a highly divisive matter. Some implications of extending the lower voting age for future elections are discussed.

This article provides an overview of Reel to Real, a Moving Image Education project undertaken with groups of young people who require More Choices, More Chances, the overarching policy context in Scotland which aims to provide support for those young people aged 16–19 years who have completed compulsory education but find themselves not in employment, education or training. Supported by Skills Development Scotland, Scottish Screen (now Creative Scotland) and Urban Learning Space, Reel to Realaimed to promote learning with and through digital media. The overall project evaluation was to determine the benefits of learning and preparation for work in such a project as well as the experiences of the participants. This article focuses specifically on the perceptions and experiences of the young people involved in the project in order to understand what they felt they had gained from the project and how they perceived this may have helped them as they prepare to embark on employment. Data were gathered through observation and focus group interviews with groups of young people aged 16–19 years undertaking the Reel to Realproject.

Under the term carotinemia, Hess and Myers1 described the occurrence of a peculiar yellow discoloration of the skin of the body with the presence of carotin, the characteristic pigment of carrots, in the blood of children fed on a diet containing carrots. We wish to report a similar occurrence in an adult, a case in which we were able to establish the casual relationship between diet and pigmentation, and to identify the offending pigment chemically, in a relatively large amount, in the blood.The yellow pigment carotin is not confined to carrots. It is included with xanthophylls under the general term carotinoids. They are widely distributed in nature, often in close association, and can be separated from each other on the basis of solubility. The yellow color of milk fats, corpus luteum and egg yolk, is due to carotinoids which are sometimes called lipochromes and again, lutein. Among human vegetable
