I have no doubt that many of you are hoping that I shall be able to say something definite about how the Corps is likely to be affected by the reductions everyone expects, but I am afraid I shall have to disappoint you. The Government is hoping to announce next month their plans for the future size and shape of the Armed Forces, and I cannot anticipate that. However, I do not think that the cuts will be very great in the case of the Royal Engineers and we should hardly be going ahead with the formation of a new field squadron, which was planned some time ago, if we expected any quick and violent reversal. That is as far as I can go to reassure you, but there is no doubt that there will be some cuts in due time. Secondly, you are no doubt wondering about the effect of all this on morale. Of course, this uncertainty has a bad effect, especially among middle-piece officers, but I think that in the Corps it is to some extent mitigated by the fact that the Sapper usually finds himself relatively well placed when seeking a job outside, and also by the constructive and rewarding sort of life we lead.

  • Evanton Wartime Remains: Sites and Features
    Evanton Wartime Remains: sites and features During the first half of 2013 a group gathered at the Cornerstone Cafe on Wednesday evenings to remember and research the wartime remains in Evanton – buildings, sites, or monuments which were new, modified or no longer there. Using old maps, photographs (some over 90 years old), aerial photographs from the wartime and later, military archives and plans, memories spanning over 70 years and details gleaned by walking over the area, information about over 160 sites was gathered. Some pupils from the Kiltearn Primary school, Inverness Young Archaeologists Club and Dingwall Academy joined us as well, recording remains and learning about the wartime and later activities in Evanton. This report summarises the results of this research. Most of the recorded sites relate to wartime remains, but a few other unrecorded sites were also noted. The details and more photos will also be forwarded to the Highland Council Historic Environment Record (HER) (http://her.highland.gov.uk), the RCAHMS Canmore database (http://www.rcahms.gov.uk/canmore.html), and the SCAPE/SCH@RP coastal sites at risk database (http://scharp.co.uk/) where they will provide valuable new information about Evanton’s past. It is clear that this is not the last word, and we hope this report will encourage others to share any other memories and photographs they might have. The sessions were organised by ARCH which provides opportunities for people interested in learning about and helping to preserve their heritage. Evanton Wartime Remains was funded by the European Community Highland LEADER 2007-2013 Programme, Kiltearn Community Council’s Novar Windfarm funding (supported by RWEnpower renewables), The Highland Council, the Co- operative Membership Community Fund and the Robert Kiln Trust.

The building is presently unoccupied and is about to be demolished. 1.2 The building recording was carried out on 21st March 2017 in accordance with a Level 1 survey as detailed in the English Heritage publication ‘Understanding Historic Buildings: A Guide to Good Recording Practice’ (2016). The Chartered Institute of Field Archaeologists Standard and Guidance for the archaeological investigation and recording of standing buildings or structures (2017) and the KCC Historic Building Recording Requirements Part C. This is essentially a visual record. Historic England guidelines suggest that written information should be the minimum to identify the building’s location, age, type, materials, use and when and whom compiled the report. General photographs of the exterior as well as any specific architectural or historic features (both internal and external) should be taken. 1.3 In summary the work consists of a basic descriptive report accompanied by digital photographs.
