Report format 2.1.2 The report is set out as follows: This introductory section sets out the context for and aims of the study; Section 2 summarises the sources used for Stage 1 of the study; Section 3 draws together the results of the postal survey of local planning authorities and the ancillary sources which have been consulted to assess the overall scale of huts and hut sites across Scotland; Section 4 looks at characteristics of hut sites as revealed by the Planning Department survey, together with information from the map search; Section 5 is concerned with the owners of sites and occupiers of huts in terms of what information has been uncovered by Stage 1 and what may continue to emerge; Section 6 assesses approaches to a possible Stage 2 of the study; Section 7 summarises the situation of huts and hutters at the present day as revealed by the Stage 1 study; Appendix A reproduces the questionnaire used in the survey of Planning Departments; Appendix B gives a description of each of the known sites; Appendix C is a detailed inventory of each site, drawing together the data from the Planning Departments, the Valuation Boards, the RRS trawl and the results of the map search; The context 2.1.3 When driving through Scotland, one occasionally comes across groups of small and rather untidy buildings often painted dark brown or green, on a piece of hillside or other open ground, sometimes arranged in a fairly orderly pattern, others in haphazard fashion. While not beautiful, generally they are not very large groupings and are generally muted in colour so they do not stand out from their setting in the same way as serried ranks of holiday caravans on their sites do. What are these groups? Why are they in certain places and not in others? How did they come to be there? Who owns them and what are they used for? 2.1.4 There is much uncertainty and not a little mythology about the answers to these questions. Most commonly it was seen initially as philanthropic. It was thought that, following the first World War, some Scottish Landowners made land available on lease on which ex-servicemen 8 and other town and city dwellers would be allowed to erect dwellings at their own cost. By so doing they could enjoy the benefits of the countryside and fresh air for holidays and at weekends. These dwellings were not intended for permanent residence, generally being of modest timber construction with few, if any services available to them. Over the years, these ‘dwellings’ have acquired a generic name of ‘huts’ with their occupiers being known as ‘hutters’ and, for simplicity, despite possible variations throughout Scotland, this terminology is used throughout the report. 2.1.5 Towards the end of 1998, in the context of a number of land use and tenure issues, The Scottish Office became aware that huts and hutters might be more common than at first thought but that little was known about them. Following preliminary enquiries about possible information sources, at the beginning of 1999 The Scottish Office’s Central Research Unit invited Research Consultancy Services to develop proposals for a systematic investigation into numbers and locations of hut sites, their origins and characteristics, the purposes for which they are used and by whom. 2.1.6 The RCS proposals were for a two-stage study, the first to concentrate on establishing site numbers and characteristics and the second dealing with direct approaches to site owners and occupiers to explore tenure and use patterns.

  • NBG Report for KCC Meeting 19 Apr 2017
    NBG Report for KCC Meeting 19 Apr 2017 Further progress! The new fibre cabinet at the Killearn exchange is now live, accepting orders, and some residents have already got the service installed and working. Speeds are reported to be as expected at 30Mbps or more. So if you live in “The Trees”, nearby, or in the centre of the village, you should be able to get “super-fast broadband! About 50% of postcodes in the village are now connected to one of the fibre cabinets. Status of your individual connectivity can be checked on either of the WhereandWhen pages of the BT Openreach or Digital Scotland websites or in the tables at the end of this report. This site is also showing a download of the exchange roll-out list, but as this is only at exchange level, it doesn’t help very much. NOTE: Remember the Digital Scotland “Better Broadband Scheme” provides a subsidy to establish a better connection using either satellite or wireless for those currently getting download speeds of less than 2Mbps. See the KCC website for specific links. Balfron has also got more cabinets with 85% of the village now showing as “Accepting Orders”. Strathblane/Blanefield is in a similar position with slightly over 85% of the village covered. Buchlyvie has nearly 90% showing as connected while Croftamie/Drymen is showing nearly 60% Accepting Orders. All this does have to be qualified though as many premises are on long lines, and whilst they will see a significant benefit in speed (double or better), they will not achieve “super-fast” speeds.

  • FORTH and ENDRICK PLOUGHING MATCHES Etc While Researching the Background History of the Buchlyvie Ploughing Matches I Came Acro
    FORTH AND ENDRICK PLOUGHING MATCHES etc While researching the background history of the Buchlyvie Ploughing Matches I came across information that may be worth sharing in the hope of awakening inherent memories otherwise lost in the mists of time. There are gaps and puzzling aspects too and I would welcome any additional information available. 1. Background Early last century and before the Great War the rural population was fairly densely scattered. Local Estates were major employers of country folk as factors, foresters, gamekeepers, gardeners, fencers, dykers, ditchers, drainers, and domestic staff around the Big Houses. The smallish tenant farming units were labour intensive, horse-worked, livestock rearing and dairying enterprises employing resident staff and seasonal casual labour. Additionally occasional tradesmen, rabbit catchers, mole catchers and travelling people were in evidence. The outlying hills were sheep walks and natural deer forest before the conifer re-afforestation was established. The peat bog wilderness areas of Flanders Moss were preserved grouse moors supporting deer, red grouse, black grouse, and white hares; and remained generally treeless then. Some birch and alder fringed the drier old reclamation areas near the perimeter moss fences. Gartmore Estate’s extensive sale of lands and farms in the early 1950s prompted the forestry drainage and conifer afforestation of Garchell Moss and other local moorlands while forestry developments proceeded in the East Flanders Moss areas towards Thornhill as well. Gartmore Estate farms had extended to Garchell and Woodend on the Buchlyvie side, Garchell being in Drymen Parish. 2. Buchlyvie and Gartmore Agricultural Association 1835 onwards to 1938 The Buchlyvie Ploughing Match for 40 years until the inauguration of the Buchlyvie District Ploughing Society in 1891.

  • Place-Names and the Medieval Church in Menteith1
    Place-names and the Medieval Church in Menteith1 Peter McNiven University of Glasgow Introduction Historians and archaeologists of medieval Scotland have long recognised that place-names are an important source for the study of social and landscape history, and are a way of examining aspects of medieval Scottish rural society which are otherwise hidden from view. Place-names have the potential to offer unique information about many aspects of historical and archaeological research. One such aspect concerns the medieval Church. While it is true we know a great deal about how the Church was run in medieval Scotland and who many of the main players were, it is still unclear how the Church interacted with the laity and the land at parish level. Place-names are one way of helping us understand more about that interaction. Archaeologists and historians hoping to understand medieval rural society are often confronted with issues such as the uneven survival of archaeological remains, often due, at least in the Lowlands, to the rearranging of the landscape during the agricultural ‘improvements’ and industrialisation of the 18th and 19th centuries, or sparse documentary evidence, perhaps due to wars, the destruction of monastic libraries at the Reformation, or just plain carelessness. While some areas of Scotland have an abundance of historical material due to being centres of institutions, such as the medieval Church (St Andrews) and crown and government (Edinburgh), other areas have a dearth of such material. One such area is Menteith, that area of central Scotland situated between Stirling and Loch Lomond. It encompasses the towns and villages of Aberfoyle, Callander, Doune and Kippen (for a detailed definition of Menteith, see below and McNiven 2011, 18–26), and is perhaps most famously known for including the Lake of Menteith, the only lake in Scotland (see this volume, pp.
