Albany, Australia

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Albany is a city of approximately 30 000 people in the south-west corner of Western Australia. It was founded three years before the state capital of Perth, in 1826, and was initially a colony for convicts arriving from the United Kingdom's criminal system. Until the construction of Fremantle Port in 1897, it was also home to the only deepwater port in WA. The city is nestled between three large hills, Mount Clarence, Mount Melville and Mount Adelaide, facing King George III Sound.

Albany was the port chosen for the ANZAC fleet to gather prior to its departure for Europe in 1914; a memorial to this has been established on top of Mount Clarence.

The main industries of Albany consist of tourism, fishing and agriculture, although before the 1950s whaling was one of the major sources of income and employment for the population.

Since that time, Albany has become popular with retirees, with inhabitants enjoying the fresh air, clean beaches, and fine views over the Southern Ocean, while still proving a thriving regional centre.

Duke of Albany

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

The Duke of Albany is a peerage title ocassionally bestowed on the youngers sons in the Scottish and later the British Royal Family, particularly the Houses of Stuart and Hanover. The dukedom of Albany was first bestowed in 1398 by King Robert III of Scotland on his brother, Robert Stewart. Albany was a territorial term representing the eastern part of the Scottish highlands, roughly the former Kingdom of the Picts. The 1398 creation of the title (along with the Dukedom of Rothesay the first Dukedom created in Scotland) was forfeited in 1425 due to the supposed treason of the second Duke. There were several other creations by various Stewart (or Stuart) kings of Scotland and later of Great Britain. The Hanoverian kings, George I, George II, and George III, each bestowed the title of "Duke of York and Albany" on junior members of their families (see Duke of York). In each case, the holder of the title died without a legitimate male heir. The last creation of a dukedom of Albany was in 1881.
