  • I. the Parallel Roads of Lochaber Have Presented to Geologists a Problem, Which Is Still Unsolved
    (595) XXVII.—On the Parallel Roads of Lochaber. By DAVID MILNE HOME, LL.D, (Plates XLL, XLIL, XLIII.) (Read 15th May 1876.) I. The Parallel Roads of Lochaber have presented to geologists a problem, which is still unsolved. Dr MACCULLOCH, about sixty years ago, when President of the Geological Society of London, first called attention to these peculiar markings on the Lochaber Hills, by an elaborate Memoir afterwards published in that Society's Transactions. He was followed by Sir THOMAS DICK LAUDER, who in the year 1824, read a paper in our own Society, illustrated by excellent sketches. His paper is in our Transactions. The next author who attempted a solution was the present Mr CHARLES DARWIN. He maintained that these Roads were sea-beaches, formed, when this part of Europe was rising from beneath the Ocean. He was followed by Professor AGASSIZ, Dr BUCKLANB, CHARLES BABBAGE, Sir JOHN LUBBOCK, ROBERT CHAMBERS, Professor ROGERS, Sir GEORGE M'KENZIE, Mr JAMIESON of Ellon, Professor NICOL, Mr BRYCE of Glasgow, Mr WATSON, and Mr JOLLY of Inverness. Sir CHARLES LYELL, though he wrote no special memoir, treated the subject pretty fully in his works, giving an opinion in support of the views of AGASSIZ. I took some little part myself in the discussion, having in the year 1847 read a paper in this Society, which was published in our Transactions. During the last five or six years, there has been an entire cessation of both investigation and discussion, in consequence probably of a desire to await the publication of more correct maps of the district, which at the request of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, the Ordnance Survey Department undertook.

  • An Archaeological Survey of Parts of Corrour Estate, Spean Bridge, Lochaber, Highland
    An Archaeological Survey of Parts of Corrour Estate, Spean Bridge, Lochaber, Highland For Hydroplan UK December 2009 Jennifer G. Robertson MA PhD FSA Scot. MIFA Garden Cottage, Ardtornish Estate, Morvern, By Oban, Argyll, PA34 5UZ. Tel. 01967 421234. E-Mail [email protected] 1. Summary 32 archaeological sites were recorded in an archaeological survey of parts of Corrour Estate, near Spean Bridge, Lochaber, Highland. Most are associated with the post- Medieval agricultural land use, particularly with summer grazing (notably Sites 2.1 – 2.13, Longart shieling settlement, Site 3.4, Rie mhic ian, and Site 4.7 Ruigh Nighean Ailein). Three sites, Sites 2.1, 3.1 and 4.8 are connected to the sheep farming period. Other sites relate to communications, namely the tracks, Sites 2.14, 2.15, 3.5 and 4.9 and structures, associated with tracks, which may have been travellers’ bothies, Sites 1.1 and 2.16. The route of the track, Site 3.5, along Allt a’ Chamabhreac may be the oldest archaeological feature in the survey area, dating back possibly to the construction of the crannog. Other sites are associated with 20th century management of the estate, Sites 4.1 – 4.4, 4.6, 3.3 and possibly 3.2. Impact assessments and mitigations may be summarised in the following table: Site No. Impact Assessment Mitigation Site 1.1 Not at risk No action required Structure Site 2.1 – May be cut by pipelines Powerhouse and pipeline to be sited 2.13 with care.
