  • 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.

  • MINUTES of the MEETING on 2 April, 2014 in Tarland Primary
    MINUTES OF THE MEETING ON 2nd April, 2014 in Tarland Primary School PRESENT: Cllr. Katrina Farquhar, Simon Welfare (Chairman), Sue Erskine, Alec McVean, Veronica Ross, Nigel Healey plus eleven members of the public. APOLOGIES: Anke Addy, Cllr. Peter Argyle, Cllr. Geva Blackett, Evelyn Smith, Police Scotland, 1. Community Action Plans: Logie Coldstone is not yet ready to get involved in a Community Action Plan and it was recommended that the process be delayed until later in the year. 2. Cromar Report 2.1 Tarland Conversation Area Proposal. There was a wide-ranging discussion on the conservation area proposal. Amongst the points made were: The residents of Tarland are already proud of and take care of their homes and the area. Compliance with conservation requirements would impose additional financial burdens on homeowners within the conservation area. Conservation areas may attract funding. The establishment of a conservation area imposes an additional layer of bureaucracy, which might prove to be over-restrictive. Older residents might not understand the implications of living within a conservation area. Attendees at the meeting were urged to make their views known to Aberdeenshire Council and it was confirmed that the Community Council would be making a contribution to the consultation which would reflect the view of the community. 2.2 Ordie Phone Box: The resident who lives adjacent to the Ordie phone box does not want it to be removed but it is regarded as a traffic hazard by the residents of the road that exits onto the A97. Aberdeenshire Council will be asked to carry out a formal safety assessment of the road junction.

  • 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.
