The excavation yielded two radiocarbon dates derived from destruction layers, which are discussed along with the results of a limited programme of archaeomagnetic dating at the same location. INTRODUCTION ramparts, it also has an entrance so may not be part of the oblong fort series. In addition, The series of oblong, gateless and often there has been significant debate over vitrified forts are one of the iconic type-sites of contradictory sets of dating evidence from the the Scottish Iron Age. Their study echoes the series (Alexander 2002). This article presents development of modern Scottish archaeology, the results and implications of the first new with its origins in the intellectual explosion excavation evidence for over 30 years. of the Scottish enlightenment; indeed, the earliest research (Williams 1777) just predates the founding of the Society of Antiquaries ARCHAEOLOGICAL BACKGROUND of Scotland in 1781.

  • Man in Moray
    10 0 I w! Fig.2.1 Moray. MANIN MORAY 5,000 years of history Ian Keillar Synopsis The extent of Moray is defined and the physical conditions briefly described. Traces of Mesolithic man have been found in the Culbin, and later Neolithic peoples found Moray an attractive place to settle. As metal working became established, trades routes followed and Moray flourished. As the climate deteriorated, so, apparently, did the political situation and defensive sites became necessary. The Romans came and went and the Picts rose and fell. The Vikings did not linger on these shores and MacBeth never met any witches near Forres. The Kings of Scots divided and ruled until they themselves set a pattern, which still continues, that if you want to get on you must go south to London. In distant Moray, brave men like Montrose and foolish men like Prince Charles Edward, fought for their rightful king. The Stuarts, however, ill rewarded their followers. Road makers and bridge builders half tamed the rivers, and the railways com­ pleted the process. With wars came boom years for the farmers, but even feather beds wear out and Moray is once more in apparent decline. However, all declines are relative and the old adage still has relevance: 'Speak wee] o the Hielans but live in the Laich.' Physical The name Moray is now applied to a local authority administrative District extending from west of Forres and the Findhorn to Cullen and stretching down in an irregular triangle into the highlands of the Cairngorms (Fig.2. l ). In Medieval times, Moray reached as far as Lochalsh on the west coast and there has always been some difficulty in defining the bound­ aries of the province.

The Scottish Iron Age provides rich data of international quality to link into broader, European-wide research questions, such as that from wetlands and the well-preserved and deeply-stratified settlement sites of the Atlantic zone, from crannog sites and from burnt-down buildings. The nature of domestic architecture, the movement of people and resources, the spread of ideas and the impact of Rome are examples of topics that can be explored using Scottish evidence. The period is therefore important for understanding later prehistoric society, both in Scotland and across Europe. There is a long tradition of research on which to build, stretching back to antiquarian work, which represents a considerable archival resource.

  • HORSE MUSSEL BEDS Image Map
    PRIORITY MARINE FEATURE (PMF) - FISHERIES MANAGEMENT REVIEW Feature HORSE MUSSEL BEDS Image Map Image: Rob Cook Description Characteristics - Horse mussels (Modiolus modiolus) may occur as isolated individuals or aggregated into beds in the form of scattered clumps, thin layers or dense raised hummocks or mounds, with densities reaching up to 400 individuals per m2 (Lindenbaum et al., 2008). Individuals can grow to lengths >150 mm and live for >45 years (Anwar et al., 1990). The mussels attach to the substratum and to each other using tough threads (known as byssus) to create a distinctive biogenic habitat (or reef) that stabilises seabed sediments and can extend over several hectares. Silt, organic waste and shell material accumulate within the structure and further increase the bed height. In this way, horse mussel beds significantly modify sedimentary habitats and provide substrate, refuge and ecological niches for a wide variety of organisms. The beds increase local biodiversity and may provide settling grounds for commercially important bivalves, such as queen scallops. Fish make use of both the higher production of benthic prey and the added structural complexity (OSPAR, 2009). Definition - Beds are formed from clumps of horse mussels and shells covering more than 30% of the seabed over an area of at least 5 m x 5 m. Live adult horse mussels must be present. The horse mussels may be semi-infaunal (partially embedded within the seabed sediments - with densities of greater than 5 live individuals per m2) or form epifaunal mounds (standing clear of the substrate with more than 10 live individuals per clump) (Morris, 2015).

Recommendation 2.1 Members are asked to agree the recommendation to Grant planning permission as set out in section 11 of the report. 3. PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT 3.1 This application seeks full planning permission for the demolition of an existing toilet block within an existing public car park, and its replacement with a new building to provide toilets, shower facilities and a small space for community use. In addition, the parking area would be reconfigured, although there would be no net increase in the number of spaces provided. Finally, it is proposed to install a chemical waste disposal point for the use of campervans. 3.2 Pre Application Consultation: Positive advice was provided in respect of 20/02746/PREAPP for an essentially similar proposal.

  • Destination Management in Wester Ross Baseline Reports Consultation Exercise Winter, 2019/20
    Destination Management in Wester Ross Baseline Reports Consultation Exercise Winter, 2019/20 Context Upwards of an estimated c.100,000450,000 tourists visit Wester Ross every year, sustaining local communities through their input to the local economy. However, in the current climate we know that there are concerns that a rise in tourism over the past few years coupled with difficulties in infrastructure investment may not be sustainable. We have to accept that mass tourism is not going away, but we don’t have to accept that tourism management in Wester Ross continues to be reactive; instead of proactive. Together we can change that. Instigated by the Wester Ross Biosphere, (a community managed UNESCO designation that exists to connect people and nature to inspire a positive future), a steering group was formed of Public Sector representatives, ourselves and Visit Wester Ross with the intention of developing a community-led Destination Management Plan (DMP). We believe that by working together, across public sector, community and industry we can make small changes so that a culture of managing and planning for tourism development can be fostered. Wester Ross can be a great place to visit and a great place to live. DMPs are as dull as they are exciting. They consider all aspects of the Visitor Experience, from ensuring everyone has access to basic facilities and infrastructure to planning what exciting activities to get up to on holiday. The process is being led by Wester Ross Biosphere with staff resources from an EU Northern Periphery and Arctic Program project called SHAPE (Sustainable Heritage Area, Partnerships for ecotourism).
