    Introduction the Place-Names in This Book Were Collected As Part of The

    Introduction The place-names in this book were collected as part of the Arts and Humanities Research Board-funded (AHRB) ‘Norse-Gaelic Frontier Project, which ran from autumn 2000 to summer 2001, the full details of which will be published as Crawford and Taylor (forthcoming). Its main aim was to explore the toponymy of the drainage basin of the River Beauly, especially Strathglass,1 with a view to establishing the nature and extent of Norse place-name survival along what had been a Norse-Gaelic frontier in the 11th century. While names of Norse origin formed the ultimate focus of the Project, much wider place-name collection and analysis had to be undertaken, since it is impossible to study one stratum of the toponymy of an area without studying the totality. The following list of approximately 500 names, mostly with full analysis and early forms, many of which were collected from unpublished documents, has been printed out from the Scottish Place-Name Database, for more details of which see Appendix below. It makes no claims to being comprehensive, but it is hoped that it will serve as the basis for a more complete place-name survey of an area which has hitherto received little serious attention from place-name scholars. Parishes The parishes covered are those of Kilmorack KLO, Kiltarlity & Convinth KCV, and Kirkhill KIH (approximately 240, 185 and 80 names respectively), all in the pre-1975 county of Inverness-shire. The boundaries of Kilmorack parish, in the medieval diocese of Ross, first referred to in the medieval record as Altyre, have changed relatively little over the centuries.

  • Water Safety Policy in Scotland —A Guide

    Water Safety Policy in Scotland —A Guide

    Water Safety Policy in Scotland —A Guide 2 Introduction Scotland is surrounded by coastal water – the North Sea, the Irish Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. In addition, there are also numerous bodies of inland water including rivers, burns and about 25,000 lochs. Being safe around water should therefore be a key priority. However, the management of water safety is a major concern for Scotland. Recent research has found a mixed picture of water safety in Scotland with little uniformity or consistency across the country.1 In response to this research, it was suggested that a framework for a water safety policy be made available to local authorities. The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) has therefore created this document to assist in the management of water safety. In order to support this document, RoSPA consulted with a number of UK local authorities and organisations to discuss policy and water safety management. Each council was asked questions around their own area’s priorities, objectives and policies. Any policy specific to water safety was then examined and analysed in order to help create a framework based on current practice. It is anticipated that this framework can be localised to each local authority in Scotland which will help provide a strategic and consistent national approach which takes account of geographical areas and issues.

These are poems, which, like a good malt “uisge beatha”, which in a way they resemble, need to be savoured slowly and appreciatively. Their memories, observation, humour, wit and wisdom a complex and heady distillation of experience matured over time, and served up here in verse, which has style and variety sufficient to maintain the reader’s interest over the course of the “journey”, a journey both back in time, but also into the heart and soul of a community and culture. There is the occasional flash of anger, and overall a sense of sadness entirely in keeping with the book’s dedication to the author’s late brother James MacGillivray of affectionate memory in these parts.

Neil Ross from Kishorn has taken on the role of Treasurer from Fionnuala Stark. Fionnuala will continue as a committee member after a number of years being Treasurer. Fiona McLeod is staying on as Publicity Officer, completing articles and updating Facebook. Andrew Slaughter is going to continue as Team Manager on his own. We thank Alan Mackay for his joint management team last season with Andrew. Bob Munro will continue as Team Coach and our Youth Coaches will be Laura Mackay and Douglas Mackenzie. Further committee members are: Liam Arnott, Lachlan Dean Morrice, Crisdean Finlayson, Peter Mackenzie, Katrine Fogt, David MacCuish and Fionnuala Stark. We would also like to thank Helen Stewart who has stepped down from the committee this year after a number of years loyal service. On the 11th February, we had our first preseason friendly against Skye 2nds. It was a beautiful day for our first game at The Battery Park. Skye started strongly and kept the Lochcarron defence busy for the opening thirty minutes going 3-nil up. Lochcarron got back into the game, just before half time, through a well worked free hit which was finished well with Crisdean Finlayson finding the back of the Skye net.
