  • Transforming Lives Through Learning 1 September 2015 Dear Parent/Carer
    1 September 2015 Dear Parent/Carer Marybank Primary School and Nursery Class Highland Council Recently, as you may know, I inspected your child’s school. During my visit, I talked to parents and children and worked closely with the headteacher and staff. I wanted to find out how well children are learning and achieving and how well the school supports children to do their best. The headteacher shared with me the school’s successes and priorities for improvement. I looked at some particular aspects of the school’s recent work including numeracy and children’s learning profiles. As a result, I was able to find out how good the school is at improving children’s education. How well do children learn and achieve? Marybank Primary School has a positive climate and a caring ethos, where children learn and achieve very well. Children in the nursery are active and inquisitive. Staff support their learning well by asking questions and encouraging them to try new things. Children have an impressive range of learning opportunities in the playroom. These are enhanced by frequent and relevant visits into the local community. Staff involve children fully in discussing and planning themes and learning activities. Children are becoming aware of their own progress. They make books and wall displays about their achievements. At the primary stages, children are friendly, hard working and ambitious. Lessons are interesting and enjoyable. For example, children told me excitedly about a recent Skype conference with a real arctic explorer. Many learning experiences extend beyond the classroom into the school’s grounds and on visits which help make learning more relevant.

  • CHAPTER 4 After the Forfeiture of the Macdonald Lands the Province Of
    CHAPTER 4 BLAR NA PAIRC. THE BATTLE OF THE PARK After the forfeiture of the Macdonald lands the province of Ross came under perpetual invasion from the Isles. The islanders, most of whom were Macdonalds, together with their supporters, violated the province and exercised what they considered to be their right to exploit in a predatory manner, the chief's former possessions and reoccupy them. From the mainland their supporters included the Macdonalds of Moidart and clan Ian of Ardnamurchan. In addition the Lord of the Isles had quite a few scores to settle, not least with that upstart Kenneth Mackenzie, who had insulted his honour and dignity with impunity. With the help of his great steward, Maclean, Macdonald gathered an army of at least 1500 men and according to some sources, as many as 3000. Macdonald advanced through Lochaber into Badenoch, where he was joined by Clan Chattan. This strong army made its way to the Highland capital, Inverness, where they captured the royal fortress replacing the garrison with their own men. Moving across the country they caused havoc and destruction, plundering the lands of the Sheriff of Cromarty, Sir Alexander Urquhart. Next to suffer were the Mackenzie lands of Strathconon. Many of the Mackenzie inhabitants were put to death as revenge for the humiliation of Lady Margaret. The lands of Strathconon had originally been in the hands of the earls of Ross until it became the property of the Mackenzies by royal charter from the king. Macdonald's army gathered at Contin where the terrified population of old men, women and children fled into the church for refuge.

  • Parish Profile Contin Linked with Fodderty and Strathpeffer
    Parish Profile Contin Linked with Fodderty and Strathpeffer Introduction Thank you for taking the time to read this, the profile of our parishes of Contin linked with Fodderty and Strathpeffer. We are two parishes forming part of the Presbytery of Ross, located within the ancient county of Ross-shire, now part of the modern Highland Region. The Communities Contin Parish is one of the largest parishes in Scotland and comprises the Contin and Kinlochluichart churches. There is a church at Strathconon but regular services are no longer held there. In the east of the parish lies the very fertile farmland of the Conon and Blackwater Valley, in which the village of Contin is set, near to the confluence of the Conon and Blackwater Rivers. To the south west, the west and north west, lies the much more rugged and less populous hill and mountain country of Strathconon, Garve, Lochluichart and Achnasheen, Inchbae and Aultguish, which many regards as one of the most beautiful areas of Scotland. Contin village is about 20 miles from Inverness or 8 miles from Dingwall and lies on the popular North Coast 500 tourist route as does Lochluichart. Contin village has a busy shop and at time of writing, the ground had just been broken for the new community hall. There are successful hotels in Contin, Achnasheen and Aultguish. Kinlochluichart church was built by Thomas Telford in 1825 and is a grade II listed building. The church lies about a mile west of Lochluichart village. It is currently being refurbished with good disabled access and toilet facilities, which also provide a comfortable meeting space which can be accessed by the local community.
