Appendix 9.1 Site Gazetteer Appendix 9.1 Site Gazetteer RIGGHILL WIND FARM i APPENDIX 9.1 This page is intentionally blank. RIGGHILL WIND FARM ii APPENDIX 9.1 Appendix 9.1 Site Gazetteer Site Number 1 Site Name Thom's Water Cuts, aqueduct and dam, Little Barone to Kirk Dam Type of Site Industrial: bridge, viaduct, aqueduct; inland water; weir/dam/sluice NRHE Number SM7112 Status Scheduled Monument Easting 208095 Northing 663810 Parish North Bute Council Argyll And Bute Description Description The monument comprises an aqueduct and dam. The aqueduct measures about 1000m in length. It varies in width from 5m along its western stretch, where it canalises two unnamed burns rising respectively from east of Little Barone Farm and in Craigberoch Wood, to 20m along its eastern stretch, where it is carried in an embankment to the Kirk Dam reservoir. The monument includes all the stretch of aqueduct in water, together with the following structures: (1) the clapper-bridge immediately west of the Loch Fad road; (2) the arched bridge with clapper extension at its west side under the Loch Fad road; (3) the dam at the north end of the Kirk Dam reservoir including the drainage tunnel with its upper sluice, and the overflow, and (4) the bottom stretch of the Foley Cut as it enters the Kirk Dam reservoir. The area to be scheduled includes the aqueduct plus all of the above structures, together with an area around them in which traces of activities associated with their construction and use may survive, as marked in red on the accompanying map extract. The area to be scheduled is very irregular in plan, with a total length in the order of 1200m, extending from S of Barone Road by way of Cnoc na h-Ulaidhe (where it widens out from 15m to 25m at the start of the embanked section) and the NW end of Kirk Dam, where it widens again to include the dam and its associated features, reaching a maximum width of 70m before narrowing to 15m again for its final stretch which terminates at a small bridge approximately 100m WNW of St Mary's Well. Statement of National Importance The monument is of national importance because it forms part of a series of aqueducts, or water-cuts, designed by the distinguished Scots engineer, Robert Thom. He died, and was buired, in Rothesay. The aqueducts and dam were constructed between 1811 and 1822 to provide a workable water-supply to Thom's cotton mills in Rothesay, and the ingenius way in which he wrung every last drop of water from off the landscape of central Bute is physically demonstrated by these remains and a lasting testimony to one of Scotland's notable engineers and inventors.

The length of this stretch is approximately 1000m and extends by a sinuous route from the Stravannan Burn on the west to the west edge of the Moor Road beside Reservoir Wood. The aqueduct, now largely dry, measures up to 10m in width. The area to be scheduled includes the aqueduct as described and an area on either side in which traces of activities associated with its construction and use may survive, measuring 20m across and very approximately 1000m in length, extending from its start beside the Stravannan Burn to the W edge of Moor Road, as marked in red on the accompanying map extract.

Description from: http://portal.historicenvironment.scot/designation/SM7117 (accessed on 12.06.2019) Site Number 3 Site Name Craigmarloch Wood, fort RIGGHILL WIND FARM 2 APPENDIX 9.1 Appendix 9.1 Site Gazetteer Site Name Craigmarloch Wood, fort Type of Site Prehistoric domestic and defensive: fort (includes hill fort and promontory fort) NRHE Number SM4379 Status Scheduled Monument Easting 234444 Northing 671854 Parish Kilmacolm Council Inverclyde Description Description The site consists of a palisaded enclosure (not visible on the surface), within which a dense artifact rich occupation layer was found. This was superseded by a timber laced fort. The area enclosed by the palisade and rampart (and by two annexes, to the SW and NE, of unknown but probably Iron Age date) lies on top of a craggy hill at the 500' contour. An area 90m E-W and 80m N-S on the hill is proposed for scheduling. Visible on the surface are the main fort and enclosure and the annexes. The fort measures approximately 52m E-W and 30m N-S. Excavation has shown that the wall is 3m thick, with roughly built faces of undressed blocks; much information on the timber-lacing of the wall was recovered. Below, and therefore predating the wall, was discovered a dense occupation layer, which produced large quantities of pottery and other finds. Outside the wall of the fort, at the NW end, a palisade bedding trench was discovered; this is a defensive feature enclosing the occupation layer. The complete course of the palisade is not known, but it is assumed that it enclosed an area similar to the fort. To the SW and NE of the main enclosure are two walled annexes of irregular shape. The walls of both were sectioned. The SW wall proved to be of massive construction; the NE one showed construction techniques similar to the main wall. Both annexes are almost certainly associated with the fort. Statement of National Importance The site is nationally important as a fine example of a lowland vitrified fort. It is important for the archaeological evidence sampled in the strictly limited 1960s excavations: the sequence of palisade to fort, the early and late dates, the large mass of well contexted Iron Age finds, and the details of rampart construction techniques. The bulk of the fort remains undug and modern excavation may reveal much more information. The site is important to the themes of prehistoric vitrified forts and palisaded settlements, prehistoric settlement and defence and prehistoric technology. References RCAHMS record the site as NS 37 SW 8. Description from: http://portal.historicenvironment.scot/designation/SM4379 (accessed on 12.06.2019) Site Number 4 Site Name Duchal Castle Type of Site Secular: castle NRHE Number SM5522 Status Scheduled Monument Easting 233460 RIGGHILL WIND FARM 3 APPENDIX 9.1 Appendix 9.1 Site Gazetteer Easting 233460 Northing 668518 Parish Kilmacolm Council Inverclyde Description Description The monument consists of the remains of Duchal Castle, an extensive 13th century fortified site. The castle is naturally well defended on a piece of ground cut off steeply on the N and S by the confluence of the Green Water and the Blackwater burn. The site was originally surrounded by a massive enceinte wall, several portions of which survive on the N and E. It is made of random rubble and is approximately 5m high on the E. The wall varies in thickness from 1.5 to 2.5m. In the NE section of wall there is a deep chute dropping to the river which may have been a well or garderobe. In the SE portion on a rock outcrop 5-6m high are the footings of a Keep, 9m square over walls 1-1.5m thick. In the W portion there was a substantial ditch which meant that the site was almost detached from the surrounding land mass. Much of this ditch has been filled in to accommodate the road and a passing place. The area to be scheduled is irregular and measures a maximum of 90m NW-SE by 40m NE-SW, to include the castle, as shown in red on the accompanying map. Statement of National Importance The monument is of national importance because it was a 13th-century fortress of substantial proportions. Although the remains are somewhat diminished in strength, the site preserves evidence for defensive architecture and domestic occupation. Its importance is further enhanced by the historic evidence for its siege by James IV in 1489 when it was held by the Earl of Lennox.

  • Cardiff 19Th Century Gameboard Instructions
    Cardiff 19th Century Timeline Game education resource This resource aims to: • engage pupils in local history • stimulate class discussion • focus an investigation into changes to people’s daily lives in Cardiff and south east Wales during the nineteenth century. Introduction Playing the Cardiff C19th timeline game will raise pupil awareness of historical figures, buildings, transport and events in the locality. After playing the game, pupils can discuss which of the ‘facts’ they found interesting, and which they would like to explore and research further. This resource contains a series of factsheets with further information to accompany each game board ‘fact’, which also provide information about sources of more detailed information related to the topic. For every ‘fact’ in the game, pupils could explore: People – Historic figures and ordinary population Buildings – Public and private buildings in the Cardiff locality Transport – Roads, canals, railways, docks Links to Castell Coch – every piece of information in the game is linked to Castell Coch in some way – pupils could investigate those links and what they tell us about changes to people’s daily lives in the nineteenth century. Curriculum Links KS2 Literacy Framework – oracy across the curriculum – developing and presenting information and ideas – collaboration and discussion KS2 History – skills – chronological awareness – Pupils should be given opportunities to use timelines to sequence events.

    Flood Risk Management (Scotland) Act 2009: Clyde and Loch Lomond Local Plan District Local Flood Risk Management Plan June 2016 Published by: Glasgow City Council Delivering sustainable flood risk management is important for Scotland’s continued economic success and well-being. It is essential that we avoid and reduce the risk of flooding, and prepare and protect ourselves and our communities. This is first local flood risk management plan for the Clyde and Loch Lomond Local Plan District, describing the actions which will make a real difference to managing the risk of flooding and recovering from any future flood events. The task now for us – local authorities, Scottish Water, the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA), the Scottish Government and all other responsible authorities and public bodies – is to turn our plan into action.

Having satisfied ourselves that the authority’s consultation and engagement exercises conformed with their participation statement, our examination of the plan commenced on 01 January 2014. We have completed the examination, and now submit our report, enclosing one bound and one unbound copy. Before carrying out the examination into the issues raised in representations we carried out an assessment of the council’s conformity with its participation statement under Section 19(4) of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997 (as amended). We concluded that the council’s actions with regard to consultation and involvement of the public at large as respects the proposed plan had conformed with its statement. In our examination we considered the 27 issues arising from over 300 unresolved representations, which were identified by the authority. In each case we have taken account of the summaries of the representations and the responses, as prepared by the authority, the representations themselves and responses to further information requests. We have set out our conclusions and recommendations in relation to each issue in our report.

  • Library Architecture: Some Observations
    LIBER QUARTERLY, ISSN 1435-5205 LIBER 2002. All rights reserved K.G. Saur, Munich. Printed in Germany Library Architecture: Some Observations by BERNHARD FABIAN I To begin with, I am not a librarian, and I am not an expert on library archi- tecture. For the past two decades my role (assigned to me by various libra- rians) has been that of the token user. And it is as a user that I am supposed to speak to you on a subject on which there appears to be more disagreement than one would initially expect. Can the user be helpful as a commentator on the architecture of libraries? Perhaps, perhaps not. As we all know, the „user” comprises a spectrum of readers, all intent on making use of books (or other text-related media) but otherwise dissimilar in their practices and their pursuits. There are occasional users, habitual users and professional users. They may be skilled or incompe- tent, dull or sensitive, naive or sophisticated. In short, the variety is infinite. You will be aware that all of them are selfish creatures. Whatever the dif- ferences between them, users are united by certain expectations. They expect the library to have all the books they require, and they expect the library to make the books they demand instantly available. These expectations cannot be directly related to a specific architectural design or pattern. Reduced to bare essentials, they seem to presuppose no more than a large, technically well-equipped „container”. Users who do their reading in the library (in contrast to those who merely borrow their books from it) have additional expectations.
