As I have been studying (fairly) ancient Scottish history lately(because I have 3 gt gt gt grandfathers who left Berwickshire in the mid eighteenth century) , runrig was originally like English ridge and furrow- an allocation of both good and poor land to all, in strips or rigs.

Unfortunately, almost no land in Scotland was truly common land......

I hope the day goes well, Rusty, and that you all enjoy the graduation and the celebrations!
What time is the ceremony?
Now, I wonder if you can help me? I am going mad here trying to stop adverts from jumping about all over this site on my Hudl! It has been like this since yesterday and no matter what I do I cannot get rid of them!
I installed Adblock Plus on my Hudl when I bought the tablet, and it has been working well for ages! According to the blurb, it is still enabled......only now the block is not working!
I've tried switching the enable button off and then back on again but to no avail.
It's a major problem for me because the flashing ads give me migraine.
Do you have any ideas, please?
I'm using the desk top to write this......

Hi, Ros!
I wonder if the Rock Group took its name from that then? although I can see no connection between a rock band and a system of land tenure?

Jazzgirl would probably be able to help, elle, send her a personal message on here?

I see no connection between land tenure and bands either, but I expect someone liked the sound of the word.

Good morning, Elle.
Runrig explained the name and what it meant on one of their videos. Most of the band are from Skye and runrig was used there.
Elle, you may have to "configure" your settings for Adblock.
In effect adjust the wi-fi settings.
Or, do what I did and use a different system.
I installed Firefox. Firefox has "add-ons" you can use.
The one I chose is "Ublock" rather than Adblock (which is a Firefox add-on, too).
It is easy to install. Just select it in the add-ons list and that is that. No configurations required.
If you install Firefox.
Go to Settings > Tools>Add-ons>Ublock and select it.
Done!

Another thought, Elle.
Try a "soft" reset of the Hudl.
Hold down the on/off button until the screen goes blank.
Takes about 15 seconds or so.
Then turn on again. May help.
Or uninstalling Adblock and reinstalling it.
But the Firefox system using uBlock works very well.
Good luck!

Elle, the Firefox settings can be found in the top right corner of the screen. A line of three vertical dots.
Click on the dots and you are in Firefox settings.

AbBlockPlus stopped working on my laptop a few weeks ago, so I attempted to reinstall it, but installed a different program - AdBlock - by mistake. I left it as things seemed to be working OK. More recently working online slowed to a crawl, so as one of the things I tried to speed it up again, I uninstalled the AdBlock, AdBlockPlus is once again working fine.

Chris, I have Adblockplus on my laptop and it works very well.
The laptop was very slow and I was ready to bin it.
I downloaded Windows 10, and Edge instead of Internet Explorer, and it has speeded up, a lot. Not quite like a new laptop, but a great improvement on the way it was.

Working OK again now. There were a number of things I changed, so I don't know which (or all?) were causing the problem. I suspect that Windows Update had a lot to do with it (now turned off - yes, I know - so that I'm not forcibly "upgraded" to Windows 10).

I use Chrome.
