  • The Cairngorm Club Journal 103, 1994
    143 PROCEEDINGS OF THE CLUB GENERAL MEETINGS The 1991 Annual General Meeting was held on November 27. Gillian Shirreffs was elected President in succession to Eddie Martin, and Peter Bellarby was elected to the vacant position of Vice-President. AH of the other office-bearers appointed the previous year were re-appointed. The 1992 Annual General Meeting took place on November 25. Fiona Cameron was elected to the vacant position of Vice-President and all of the other office-bearers re- appointed. A Special General Meeting was held immediately before the 1992 Annual General Meeting, its purpose being to consider resolutions put forward in the name of the committee for a number of changes to the constitution. The main changes proposed were: (a) Amendments to the rights of Associate Members - that up to two Associate Members could serve as Ordinary Members of the committee, although not as office- bearers. (b) An amendment to the objects clause - that the mention of encouragement of hillwalking and climbing was related more to standards than to actual engagement in the pursuit. (c) Increases in the numbers needed for requisitions, quorum etc., in line with the general increase in the size of the Club. (d) An adjustment to the provision about committee rotation - that the number retiring in any year did not have to be made up to three if fewer than three had served the normal three-year term. The proposed changes were all approved, with minor amendments in the case of the objects clause, and the constitution was amended, reprinted and copied to all members in March, 1993.

National Archive of Scotland Ref: nil, but photocopy of Mather photostats deposited in Highland Council Archives, Inverness. Tel. 01463 220 330 ref: HCA/D670. View by appointment. Location of Original: thought to be Lovat Estate Office, Beauly, Inverness-shire. Adams described this plan, as well as six others of Lovat lands, as ‘wanting’, in his 1979 publication, but apparently no attempt has since been made to trace them. Surveyor, Date and Purpose: Peter May, 1757 (as per Adams 1979); compiled as a requirement of Annexation to the Crown for the Commissioner to the Forfeited Estates, following the Jacobite Rebellion of 1745. Associated References: Mather, Alexander S., 1970, ‘Pre-1745 Land Use and Conservation in a Highland Glen: An Example from Glen Strathfarrar, North Inverness-shire’, Scottish Geographical Magazine 86 (3), 159-69.

Mather, now (’04) Head of Dept., Geography Dept., Aberdeen University, for his article in Scottish Geographical Magazine 86 (3) (1970), on land use. Working copy is a photocopy of these, although Mather’s original photostats were needed to check certain letters (not indicated here). Thirteen overlapping A3 photocopies make up this map. Professor Mather’s numbering scheme has been adopted - i.e. from west to east they are 1a/1b, 2a/2b etc, with ‘a’ the upper part of the map, and ‘b’ the lower part.

    Nor’ West News The NeWSletter of the Nor’ West Sgurramblers Issue No. 140 – October 2009 www.sgurramblers.org.uk breaking news WHEN IS MUNRO NOT A MUNRO ? As widely reported in the Press and on numerous websites, the Munro Society has undertaken new measurements (using the most modern technology) of a number of Scottish hills whose heights had previously been measured as on the borderline between Munro and Corbett status. The results announced recently are that: Sgurr a' Choire-bheithe 913.32m remains a Corbett Ben Vane 915.76m remains a Munro Beinn Teallach 914.60m remains a Munro Sgurr nan Ceannaichean 913.43m is now a Corbett These measurements are understood to have been endorsed by Ordnance Survey and the Scottish Mountaineering Council. The decisions may give rise to mixed feelings amongst those enraptured by the prospect or achievement of “compleating” a round of the Munros only to find the list has changed. All have some merit - whether or not they are Munros. Sgurr a’ Choire-bheithe would have been an attractive addition to the Munro Tables. Ben Vane has some interesting crags and is served by a foot-worn path which demands the walker’s attention. Beinn Teallach is less interesting but its demotion would be mourned by many of those who have made the effort to walk over its grassy slopes. But it is the demotion of Sgurr nan Ceannaichean (elevated to Munro status only in 1981) which has attracted nearly all the public comment. This is a hill which looks shapely only from near Gerry’s Place and is more attractive as a position from which to photograph hills to its north and west.
