  • Historic Forfar, the Archaeological Implications of Development
    Freshwater Scottish loch settlements of the Late Medieval and Early Modern periods; with particular reference to northern Stirlingshire, central and northern Perthshire, northern Angus, Loch Awe and Loch Lomond Matthew Shelley PhD The University of Edinburgh 2009 Declaration The work contained within this thesis is the candidate’s own and has not been submitted for any other degree or professional qualification. Signed ……………………………………………………………………………… Acknowledgements I would like to thank all those who have provided me with support, advice and information throughout my research. These include: Steve Boardman, Nick Dixon, Gordon Thomas, John Raven, Anne Crone, Chris Fleet, Ian Orrock, Alex Hale, Perth and Kinross Heritage Trust, Scottish Natural Heritage. Abstract Freshwater loch settlements were a feature of society, indeed the societies, which inhabited what we now call Scotland during the prehistoric and historic periods. Considerable research has been carried out into the prehistoric and early historic origins and role of artificial islands, commonly known as crannogs. However archaeologists and historians have paid little attention to either artificial islands, or loch settlements more generally, in the Late Medieval or Early Modern periods. This thesis attempts to open up the field by examining some of the physical, chorographic and other textual evidence for the role of settled freshwater natural, artificial and modified islands during these periods. It principally concentrates on areas of central Scotland but also considers the rest of the mainland. It also places the evidence in a broader British, Irish and European context. The results indicate that islands fulfilled a wide range of functions as secular and religious settlements. They were adopted by groups from different cultural backgrounds and provided those exercising lordship with the opportunity to exercise a degree of social detachment while providing a highly visible means of declaring their authority.

  • A Legal Geography of the Right to Fish in English Coastal Waters: the Contribution of the Public Trust
    A LEGAL GEOGRAPHY OF THE RIGHT TO FISH IN ENGLISH COASTAL WATERS: THE CONTRIBUTION OF THE PUBLIC TRUST EMMA JANE BEAN A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of the West of England, Bristol for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Environment and Technology, University of the West of England, Bristol January 2021 1 ABSTRACT The health of oceanic fish stocks is a cause for concern. In UK waters, just under half of monitored stocks are being harvested at or beyond sustainable levels. This thesis seeks to identify the potential role for the legal doctrine of the public right to fish in targeting sustainable fishing. This right exists in English tidal waters, yet is relatively poorly understood even in legal scholarship, with technical issues such as the ownership of the right remaining unclear. Nonetheless, government has often stressed the importance of the public interest in fisheries management. It is therefore important to understand more deeply the exact legal nature of this interest, especially with respect to the implications for the powers and duties appertaining to those managing the interest. This thesis uses a legal geography methodology to identify both how the public fishery is owned and what duties (if any) are attendant upon such ownership. Part of this challenge is squarely within the remit of black letter legal analysis, though this by itself is insufficient to address the research question. Empirically this research explores how the public fishery is understood and experienced in practice by key institutions and actors within the Devon & Severn Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Authority.

  • Village History
    Wanstrow Village History FOREWORD What determines the character of a village? Usually it is a combination of things situation, architecture, building materials, agriculture, gardening reflecting the occupations, tastes and prosperity of the inhabitants. Always it is best appreciated with some knowledge of its history. The character of Wanstrow may seem enigmatic to someone driving through it on the main road, but let him stop to wander unhurriedly and it will soon take shape in his mind. It is not a picture postcard village with cottages curved prettily around a green; rather it has a linear shape and the rich variety of buildings testifies to centuries of organic growth. That growth has owed little to the most common influences, squire and parson. It has had more to do with yeoman farmers, craftsmen and artisans, largely impervious to the outside world until the last century. Nothing spectacular occurred here; neither King Charles I nor the Duke of Monmouth passed this way. Judge Jeffreys did not hold an assize at Wanstrow and none of the villagers was hanged as a result. Wherever else Queen Elizabeth I slept, it was not at the Wanstrow Inn. In fact it was so unnewsworthy as to prompt the quotation "Happy the land that has no history". Yet although Wanstrow may not flaunt its charms, they are real. A visitor who walks the length of the High Street, from the church at one end to the bridges at the other, will find it a rewarding experience. And although Wanstrow's history may be undramatic, it has many points of interest the potteries, the church, the railway, the manor, the farming, the pubs, the school, the turnpike, the name all the things which have gone to form its character.

  • Edzell Castle
    Property in Care (PIC) ID: PIC027 Designations: Scheduled Monument (SM90136) Taken into State care: 1932 (Guardianship) Last reviewed: 2004 HISTORIC ENVIRONMENT SCOTLAND STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE EDZELL CASTLE We continually revise our Statements of Significance, so they may vary in length, format and level of detail. While every effort is made to keep them up to date, they should not be considered a definitive or final assessment of our properties. Historic Environment Scotland – Scottish Charity No. SC045925 Principal Office: Longmore House, Salisbury Place, Edinburgh EH9 1SH EDZELL CASTLE BRIEF DESCRIPTION Edzell Castle began as a towerhouse with a barmkin wall and associated buildings, which was to develop into an impressive courtyard castle during the 16th century. The castle was built and altered by the Crawford Lindsays. To the South of the courtyard is a remarkable and unique Renaissance walled garden or pleasance with summer house and bath house built by 1604. The garden is as much an architectural as a horticultural feature, with an ornate heraldic and symbolic decorative treatment of the walls. Edzell Castle sits within a manorial landscape of some considerable time depth. To the South of the castle is a motte and bailey castle (Castle Hillock which is not yet in care), which preceded the courtyard castle as the original manorial centre, and the former site of the parish church. Within the graveyard is the Lindsay Aisle, the burial vault of the Lindsay family (in care). To the South East is the home farm of the manor, Mains of Edzell. Although replaced during successive agricultural improvements, the Mains retains an early 17th century doocot.
