  • Caithness County Council
    Caithness County Council RECORDS’ IDENTITY STATEMENT Reference number: CC Alternative reference number: Title: Caithness County Council Dates of creation: 1720-1975 Level of description: Fonds Extent: 10 bays of shelving Format: Mainly paper RECORDS’ CONTEXT Name of creators: Caithness County Council Administrative history: 1889-1930 County Councils were established under the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1889. They assumed the powers of the Commissioners of Supply, and of Parochial Boards, excluding those in Burghs, under the Public Health Acts. The County Councils also assumed the powers of the County Road Trusts, and as a consequence were obliged to appoint County Road Boards. Powers of the former Police Committees of the Commissioners were transferred to Standing Joint Committees, composed of County Councillors, Commissioners and the Sheriff of the county. They acted as the police committee of the counties - the executive bodies for the administration of police. The Act thus entrusted to the new County Councils most existing local government functions outwith the burghs except the poor law, education, mental health and licensing. Each county was divided into districts administered by a District Committee of County Councillors. Funded directly by the County Councils, the District Committees were responsible for roads, housing, water supply and public health. Nucleus: The Nuclear and Caithness Archive 1 Provision was also made for the creation of Special Districts to be responsible for the provision of services including water supply, drainage, lighting and scavenging. 1930-1975 The Local Government Act (Scotland) 1929 abolished the District Committees and Parish Councils and transferred their powers and duties to the County Councils and District Councils (see CC/6).

  • Lady Mary, Countess of Caithness, Interceding with Middleton for Permission to Remove Her Father’S Head
    Lady Mary, Countess of Caithness, interceding with Middleton for permission to remove her Father’s Head. PREFACE In collecting materials for “The Martyrs of the Bass,” published some time ago in a volume entitled “The Bass Rock,” it occurred to the author, from the various notices he met with of Ladies who were distinguished for their patriotic interest or sufferings in the cause of nonconformity, during the period of the Covenant, and particular- ly, during the period of the persecution, that sketches of the most eminent or best known of these ladies would be neither uninteresting nor unedifying. In undertaking such a work at this distance of time, he is aware of the disadvantage under which he labours, from the poverty of the materials at his disposal, compared with the more abundant store from which a contemporary writer might have executed the same task. He, however, flatters him- self that the materials which, with some industry, he has collected, are not unworthy of being brought to light; the more especially as the female biography of the days of the Covenant, and of the persecution, is a field which has been trodden by no preceding writer, and which may, therefore, be presumed to have something of the fresh- ness of novelty. The facts of these Lives have been gathered from a widely-scattered variety of authorities, both manuscript and printed. From the voluminous Manuscript Records of the Privy Council, deposited in her Majesty’s General Register House, Edinburgh, and from the Wodrow MSS., belonging to the Library of the Faculty of Advocates, Edinburgh, the author has derived much assistance.The former of these documents he was obligingly permitted to consult by William Pitt Dundas, Esq., Depute-Clerk of her Majesty’s Register House.

  • CLYDESDALE HORSES by Hunter Adair
    A GUIDE TO THE COUNTRYSIDE: CLYDESDALE HORSES by Hunter Adair Clydesdale Horses There are now many more Clydesdale horses returning to the farms in the north of England and Scotland. Some farmers are buying horses to work, or for breeding, or just to have them as a hobby and for showing. There are a few farmers, throughout the whole country, who have never changed or mechanised their farms over the last fifty years or so. They have continued to work the land with horses of various breeds. Some farmers still only use horses on their farms, a practice that has been going on for centuries. Some farmers partly mechanised their farms when the use of tractors spread on British farms during the first World War, when the Fordson played a major part.The story of the A young boy holding his Father’s tractor started in America in 1889. Clydesdale horse in the farmyard Farmers who kept both tractor and horses, either maintained the horses for breeding or for the less heavier jobs on the farm. It’s a glorious site while travelling through the countryside to see a pair of Clydesdale horses ploughing a stubble field followed by scores of sea gulls hunting for mice and worms. I have many memories helping with the working, feeding and cleaning out of Clydesdale horses and getting to know the temperament of each individual horse on the farm. Like dogs, cattle or sheep, each Clydesdale horse is very different and each have their own characteristics and peculiarities. Can you help me cross this field? A pair of Clydesdale horses should be able to plough about one acre of land a day starting from about 8 o’clock in the morning till about 4 o’clock in the afternoon.

  • 1 Minutes of Conon Bridge Community Council Meeting
    MINUTES OF CONON BRIDGE COMMUNITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD IN THE STAFF ROOM AT BEN WYVIS PRIMARY SCHOOL ON WEDNESDAY 21 JUNE 2017 PRESENT Fiona MacKintosh (FM), Jim Attwood (JA), Alistair MacKintosh (AM), Jane Attwood (IJA), Councillor Margaret Paterson (part attendance), PC Kevin Taylor (Police Scotland) and one member of the public. WELCOME Fiona MacKintosh welcomed everyone to the meeting. 1. Apologies Hazel Bushell and Councillor Alistair MacKinnon. Councillor Graham Mackenzie by email at 19.20 2. Police Report PC Kevin Taylor opened by advising the meeting that he had only been in the area since February 2017 and had been in the police force for the last ten years. He hoped that he would be able to come to future meetings but that depended on operational duties and he would endeavour to meet the expectations of the community. Although he had only been in the area for a few months he could already see that there were two main problems within the local area, these being anti-social behaviour and neighbour disputes. Two offences had been reported to the Procurator Fiscal this month and PC Taylor hoped that these would be dealt with robustly. He is working very closely with the housing associations and The Highland Council in trying to resolve the ongoing neighbour situations. Also of note were various incidents involving vandalism and one instance of shoplifting by a child. This has been reported to the Scottish Children’s Reporter Administration (SCRA). Currently the Conon Bridge area is seeing an increase in the level of reported anti-social behaviour by youths.

  • How Board Could Meet Savings Target a BROAD Outline of How NHS Lion Were Required
    THE NHS HIGHLAND STAFF NEWSPAPER June 2016 HighNOVEMBERlights 2015 LONELINESS Four pupils of Drakies Primary School, Inverness, provided the highlight of the most recent meeting of NHS Highland’s board, when they gave a talk on the school’s recently launched community café and on how it is helping to address the wider issue of loneliness and social isolation. The pupils, who were accompanied by headteacher Michelle Taylor, were asked to give the presentation after the school’s participation in the launch of NHS Highland’s ‘Reach Out’ campaign, which is encouraging people to “make a difference for someone who’s lonely”. As well as giving a short speech, the pupils an- swered questions by members of the board, and also asked questions about the Reach Out campaign. For more on Reach Out, see pages 6 and 7.

  • Report of a Project to Survey the Site of Kinbeachie Castle, Cullicudden on the Black Isle
    Report of a project to survey the site of Kinbeachie Castle, Cullicudden on the Black Isle st by members of NOSAS - 1 March 2017 Introduction The small estate of Kinbeachie, amounting to “a half davoch”, is located in the northwest part of the Black Isle overlooking the Cromarty Firth. Today the area is productive arable land but in the 16th century there are references to “the King (James VI) hunting in the woodland along the Kinbeakie Burn”. The archaeological site known as Kinbeachie Castle comprises a collection of grassy humps and bumps covering an area of approximately 70m x 60m in the corner of a field. The 1st edition OS map of 1876 (right) has a cluster of roofed buildings which is annotated “Kinbeachie Castle” and the date 1546; the OS name book of the same year reports that “the name applies to the ruins of an old castle, formerly the seat of the proprietor of Kinbeachie. The southern gable is the only portion of the building which stands in its entirety, the rest having only a foot or so above ground…….a stone with the date 1546 still remains in the standing gable just over the place where the fireplace has been”. There are two entries on the archaeological databases for the site: • Canmore ID 13705 (HER ID MHG8193) – Castle (Medieval) at GR NH 6343 6218 • Canmore ID 13700 (HER ID MHG8198) – Farmstead at GR NH 6339 6218 The gable noted in 1876 was still standing in 1959 when the RCAHMS photographed the building (see photo below) but it was demolished soon afterwards for safety reasons.

  • Remembering Knockbain Parish Heritage
    Remembering Knockbain Parish Heritage In 2014 people met to explore the heritage of Knockbain Parish on the Black Isle through courses, fieldtrips and sharing memories. In a short period of time, a great deal of information was collected about places in this often overlooked area of the Black Isle. The information in this document was collected during indoor sessions drawing on old maps and photographs, during walks to Munlochy, Kilmuir, Easter Suddie and Belmaduthy, and on visits to Highland Archives and Groam House Museum. Many of the sites are long forgotten, and some are deteriorating. The information has also been submitted to the Highland Council Historical Environment Record (the HER; her.highland.gov.uk), the database of all known heritage in the Highlands, and will lead to the creation of 70 new records. Later it will be submitted to Canmore, the Scottish database of heritage (canmore.rcahms.gov.uk). The group has also produced a walking leaflet for Munlochy Village, available locally. There is still more to learn, and further research and sessions to collect memories would expand this picture. The project was organised by Knockbain Community Council with funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund and Highland Council. Courses and fieldtrips were led by Susan Kruse of ARCH (Archaeology for Communities in the Highlands). We would also like to thank the Highland Archives, Groam House Museum and the Taylor family. But most of all, thanks to the many people who contributed information, either during the sessions or even as we were passing their houses. Archaeology for Communities in the Highlands (ARCH) is a registered Scottish Charity, No.
