  • KINLOCHBERVIE COMMUNITY COUNCIL Minutes of Meeting 29Th October 2019 at the Harbour Offices
    KINLOCHBERVIE COMMUNITY COUNCIL Minutes of Meeting 29th October 2019 at The Harbour Offices PRESENT: Graham Wild (Chair), Kirsty Holland, Christine MacKenzie, Margaret Meek, Murdo Macpherson, Sandra Armes-Harris, Mairi Eastcroft, Maaike Silcock (Minutes), 1. APOLOGIES: Andrea Boyes 2. MINUTES of the 24th September 2019 Two amendments were made to the minutes of the meeting held on the 24th September 2019. Item 3.5, Alexander Munro’s application for a café is still being considered. Planning has NOT been approved. Item 3.12, one of the gritter lorry drivers is NOT retiring, he has taken up the position as Assistant Harbour Master. The minutes were proposed by Graham and seconded by Christine. The minutes were approved. 3. MATTERS ARISING FROM THE MINUTES OF THE 24th September 2019 3.1 Having discussed the potential problems with having the electric hook-up at the Village Hall, Sandra was happy for it to be located by the public toilets at the Harbour. 3.2 The Pavements, overgrown with Gorse and Brambles need to be cut back. Graham will speak to Hugh to see when this might be done. 3.3 Graham will contact Hugh to find out who the new Area Manager at Highland Council is to replace Joanne Sutherland. Murdo will then re-send a letter to them, asking for a barrier to be placed along the edge of Big Brae to prevent further accidents. 1 3.4 Graham and Murdo will bolt the picnic benches at Loch Clash to the concrete slab. This will hopefully prevent campervans from monopolising the picnic area, preventing others from using it for what it was intended; having a picnic.

  • Population Change in Caithness and Sutherland 2001 to 2011
    THE HIGHLAND COUNCIL Agenda 4. Item CAITHNESS AND SUTHERLAND AREA COMMITTEE Report CS/2/14 No 11TH FEBRUARY 2014 POPULATION CHANGE IN CAITHNESS AND SUTHERLAND 2001 TO 2011 Report by Director of Planning and Development Summary This report looks at the early results from the 2011 Census, giving local information on the number and ages of people living within Highland. It compares these figures with those from 2001 to show that the Highland population has “aged”, and that a large number of people are close to retirement age. The population of Caithness and Sutherland has grown by 3.3% (compared to the Highland average of 11.1%) with an increase in four out of six Wards, and at a local level in 34 out of 58 data zones. Local population growth is strongly linked to the building of new homes. 1. Background 1.1. Publication of the results from the 2011 Census began in December 2012, and the most recent published in November and December 2013 gave the first detailed results for “census output areas”, the smallest areas for which results are published. These detailed results have enabled us to prepare the first 2011 Census profiles and these are available for Wards, Associated School Groups, Community Councils and Settlement Zones on our website at: link to census profiles 1.2. This report returns to some earlier results and looks at how the age profile of the Caithness and Sutherland population and the total numbers have changed at a local level (datazones). These changes are summarised in Briefing Note 57 which is attached at Appendix 1.

  • Pilkinton and Son Were in Dundas Street, Spelled As Pilkinson in the Street Director
    1856y Pilkinton and Son were in Dundas Street, spelled as Pilkinson in the street director. T Davies was at 14 South Saint Andrew Street. J A Bell 6 was at 9 York Place. Frederick Thomas Pilkinton came 12th in the Second Class Honours for Mathematics under Professor Philip Kelland, and shared First Honours for Logic and Metaphysics under W Hamilton, Bart. (Caledonian Mercury, Sat. 10th May 1856) Sam Bough, possibly Pilkington’s closest friend to be, moved to Edinburgh from Glasgow in this year, and stayed at 5 Malta Terrace in Stockbridge. He travelled to London that year, and “visited an old acquaintance, John Philip”, whom he had first met in the company of James Cassie, both very close friends of William Brodie. Bough exchanged some of his works, which Philip admired, for a portrait by Philip of Bough. Bough thought it “as large as life….”. “It’s very like me, and an awful bla’guard I look” (Hitchons) In fact, the portrait establishes Bough’s commanding height and broad frame, and his handsome authority. He looks rather distinguished in fact. Bough was a fascinatingly controversial figure, and continued to fascinate long after his death. As late as 1897, many years after hs death, The Evening Telegraph, in a piece taken from "Good Words" entitled "Sam Bough and His Friends", attempted to present the ambiguity of Bough's personality. "Sam Bough could be rude in both manner and speech, and his acquaintances were habituated to sarcasm and brusquerie. He had, in consequence, many friends but a multitude of enemies, who passed into currency many stories of his wild conduct.

  • Promoting Paradise: Utopianism And
    New Zealand Journal of History, 42, 1 (2008) Promoting Paradise UTOPIANISM AND NATIONAL IDENTITY IN NEW ZEALAND, 1870–1930 A NUMBER OF COMMENTATORS have identified a correlation between aspects of utopianism and New Zealand’s past. Miles Fairburn, for example, has emphasized the power of an arcadian myth in nineteenth-century New Zealand.1 James Belich entitled the second volume of his history of New Zealand Paradise Reforged.2 And Lucy Sargisson and Lyman Tower Sargent’s work on intentional communities (or communes) argued that New Zealand ‘has a special place in the history of utopianism’.3 As Sargisson and Sargent note, though, there has not been any extended discussion of the association between utopianism and New Zealand’s national identity. Fairburn’s work comes closest, but the ‘governing category’ of his landmark study was ‘the colony’s social organisation’ rather than arcadian myths.4 Furthermore, Fairburn’s work stops in the 1890s, ignores ideal visions of cities and towns, disregards utopian fiction, and does not take into account ‘race’ and politics and the impact which these had on images of arcadia. While ‘race’ and politics are central to Belich’s work his study remains first and foremost a general history. The use of the descriptor ‘paradise’, like his term ‘recolonization’ (which is used to signify New Zealand’s apparent return to the British imperial fold), works primarily as ‘a heuristic device … to give pattern’.5 Belich also overlooks utopian and science fiction (SF) literature, focuses on the printed word and skips over ‘booster’ sources, namely those civic and commercial publications produced locally to promote settlement and investment.
