INTRODUCTION In 1984, three corn-drying kilns were excavate Scottise th y db h Central Excavation t Unita e ,on Abercairny, Perthshire (now Tayside Region Capot a o ,tw 224 ) 4 Kincardineshir d (NG90 ) an N RN e (now Grampian Region) (NO 626 675) (illus 1).

A letter written in the 17th century by James, Lord Drummond, mentions foundations being dug for round kilns (Fraser 1825, 130). Such documentation and the absence of earlier dating evidence have prompted the conclusion that these structure post-medievae sar daten li . However result e excavatione th , th f so t sa Capo and Abercairny, coupled with the recent excavations of similar corn-driers at Chapelton, Tayside (Pollock 1985, 367), indicate that these round kiln 13te th h s n werei centur e factn us i , n yi , and before.

In the Northern Isles up to the beginning of this century, and on mainland Scotland before the introduction of agricultural improvements over the course of the 18th century, almost every farm had its own kiln (SAS, V18, Kilsyth, 309). Much of the previous research on corn-drying kilns has been based on extant examples in Orkney and Shetland where two basic types survive: four-sided kilns and "Central Excavation Unit, HBM, 9 Melville St, Edinburgh 3 220 SOCIET ANTIQUARIEF YO SCOTLANDF SO , 1988 rounded kilns, both being integral parts of longhouses or barns.

  • Perth and Kinross Council Development Management Committee – 11 May 2016 Report of Handling by Development Quality Manager
    Report No. 16/95 Perth and Kinross Council Development Management Committee – 11 May 2016 Report of Handling by Development Quality Manager Erection of a wind farm comprising 14 turbines (6 within Perth and Kinross and 8 within Angus), access track, borrow pits, anemometer mast and ancillary works known as Saddlehill Windfarm, Land at Black Hill, Glen Isla Ref. No: 14/01993/FLM Ward No: 3 - Blairgowrie and Glens Summary This report recommends refusal of the application for the erection of six turbines and associated infrastructure, on land within Perth and Kinross Council’s administrative area, as the location, prominence, scale and layout of the proposed windfarm would have unacceptable adverse landscape impacts. Including cumulative landscape impacts on the immediate landscape character as well as the wider landscape setting and the Highland Boundary Fault. Additionally the windfarm has significant and unacceptable visual impacts, including cumulative landscape impacts on residential, recreational and tourist receptors. In light if the above and the adverse impact on the setting of scheduled ancient monuments it is considered that the magnitude of the adverse effects associated with the development are significant and environmentally unacceptable. The proposal is not considered to comply with the overriding thrust of the development plan and there are no material considerations of sufficient weight which would justify departing from the development plan. Accordingly the application should be refused. It should be noted that Angus Council has refused the application for the eight turbines within their administrative Area. PROPOSAL 1 The windfarm application site straddles the administrative boundaries of Perth and Kinross Council and Angus Council.

Accounts for the year ending 31st March 2017 An oversight had led to the Annual Subscriptions not being demanded prior to 31st March 2017. The subscription demands had since gone out and thanks were expressed to those who had paid quickly. Consequently no 2016 subscriptions are included in the 2016/2017 accounts income, which is largely made up of the Deer Management Plan Levy and Scottish Natural Heritage funding towards the Deer Management Plan. Expenditure comprised payment for the Deer Management Plan and the ADMG subscription, with chairman’s and secretarial expenses being held over until subscriptions had been collected.

This study questions long-held assumptions regarding this relationship, asserting that the ‘Auld Alliance’ continued throughout the period, despite the widely held belief that it ended in 1560. Such assumptions have led scholars largely to ignore the continuing commercial relationship between Scotland and France in the long seventeenth century, focusing instead on the ‘golden age’ of the Auld Alliance or the British relationship with France in the eighteenth century. Such assumptions have been fostered by the methodological approaches used in the study of economic history to date. While I acknowledge the relevance of traditional quantitative approaches to economic history, such as those pioneered by T. C. Smout and which continue to be followed by historians such as Philipp Rössner, I follow alternative methods that have been recently employed by scholars such as Henriette de Bruyn Kops, Sheryllynne Haggerty, Xabier Lamikiz, Allan Macinnes and Steve Murdoch.

  • Abercairny's Salute
    Abercairny's Salute There are settings of this tune in the following manuscript sources: – MacArthur/MacGregor MS, ff.35-37; – David Glen MS, ff.200-202; and in the following published sources: – Angus MacKay, Collection of Ancient Piobaireachd, pp.76-8; – C. S. Thomason, Ceol Mor, pp. 145-6; – Frans Buisman and Andrew Wright, eds., The MacArthur-MacGregor Manuscript of Piobaireachd (1820), p.140. The MacArthur/MacGregor MS, the earliest of the scores, sets the tune like this: Dr. William Donaldson's 2014 Set Tunes Series pipes|drums Magazine Dr. William Donaldson's 2014 Set Tunes Series pipes|drums Magazine Dr. William Donaldson's 2014 Set Tunes Series pipes|drums Magazine In the MacArthur/MacGregor MS the tune is developed as follows: ground (a little more heavily cadenced than Angus MacKay's), and single siubhal, taorluath fosgailte and crunluath variations with the ground returning at the end of the taorluath fosgailte and again at the end of the tune. The ground is divided into three lines of twelve, twelve and eight bars and this arrangement is reflected consistently throughout the piece. Angus MacKay sets the tune like this: Dr. William Donaldson's 2014 Set Tunes Series pipes|drums Magazine Dr. William Donaldson's 2014 Set Tunes Series pipes|drums Magazine Dr. William Donaldson's 2014 Set Tunes Series pipes|drums Magazine There are significant differences between the MacArthur-MacGregor MS and the published score of Angus MacKay which suggest that the latter derived his account from more than one source. The tune receives much fuller development in MacKay, with singlings and doublings of all the variations from the siubhal onwards: players will have their own views on the wisdom of so extended a development of a tune of this character.
