It was with great sadness I heard that Catriona had passed away on Sunday 26th November 2017 after a very brave fight against cancer. Catriona will be fondly remembered as a most popular member of our Clan MacAulay Executive Committee which she served with distinction. I met Catriona for the first time at our Clan Gathering in Stornoway in 2006. She was attending her first Clan Gathering along with two of her cousins from Canada. I always remember her telling me how much she enjoyed the whole experience and in particular our most memorable bus trip to Bernera on the west coast of Lewis which is where her family originate from. As I got to know Catriona I felt she would be an ideal person to serve on our executive committee and in 2007 I asked her if she would be prepared to join.

  • Helensburgh 2008
    An Appraisal of the Conservation Areas in Helensburgh 2008 i Here Here our Victorian ghosts are captured in their legacies of stone, the grace and glamour of their dwelling places, from a time when affluence was no sin. Here wood is lifted from mundane plank and turned to filigree, to stairflight, warm and resonant, or a burnished cherub may bare polished buttocks on a newel-post. Here the mere stacking of stone, palewash, staggered russet bricks and stained glass that sieves sunshine into bright rugs of light, all become style far beyond function. Here perhaps the breaths of genteel words echo in rooms we now cherish and, in attics stolen from long-lost maids, small sighs escape for pleasure at our newfangled reverence.

[Frontispiece. >^ LADY VICTORIA CAMPBELL a flDemoir BY LADY FRANCES BALFOUR SECOND EDITION HODDER AND STOUGHTON LONDON NEW YORK TORONTO TO HER FELLOW-WORKERS IN THE CHURCH OF CHRIST AND TO THE PEOPLE OF HER LOVE IN THE HIGHLANDS AND ISLANDS THIS MEMORIAL IS DEDICATED PREFACE A word of gratitude must be said to those who have helped me to write these pages of remembrance. I owe much to our brother, Lord Archibald Camp- bell, not only for the encouragement he gave me, but also from what I learned when I saw him in the islands. He, with her, has lived for and amongst the people. In their love for him, in his perfect understanding of themselves and their homes, I have seen the working of the selfsame spirit that wrought so mightily in her. Lady Mary Glyn has preserved a series of letters which show how, through the changing years, no shadow of change touched the love she bore for those of her name and race. The second generation, in her niece, Mrs. Edgar Dugdale, has given a page of recollections which is stamped with the vivid lines of a true and loving picture. Counsel, which has not failed from the first to the last written word, I have had from her "London Bishop," the Eev. Archibald Fleming; without his x PREFACE supervision I must have completely failed in my effort. Mr. Ritchie, of Iona, has given the Celtic design on the cover of the book.

THE following pages form a modest contribution to those local, secular, and ecclesiastical records of interesting places in our land which are a little removed from the more stirring domains of Scottish history.

    Duchess Wood Local Nature Reserve Committee MANAGEMENT PLAN 2012-16 Annexes 1-7 for the DUCHESS WOOD LOCAL NATURE RESERVE Helensburgh Argyll and Bute (Final approved version 22.10.2012) 1 ANNEX 1 Ecological evaluation using the Ratcliffe (1977) criteria (This is a summary of the sections in the 2007-11 5YP which were based on the long established and widely accepted method of determining the nature conservation value of a site known as the ‘Ratcliffe Criteria’ (Ratcliffe, 1977). The Ratcliffe Criteria provide a standardised and objective way of assessing the value of a site using the following ten attributes: Size, Naturalness, Representativeness, Rarity, Diversity, Position, History, Fragility, Potential value, and Intrinsic appeal.) Size At 22.99ha, Duchess Wood LNR is a significant remnant of Semi-Natural Woodland, parts of which are most probably of ancient origin, in a largely urban landscape although its initial extent is currently unknown. Although classed on the SNH Ancient Woodland Inventory as of Long Established Plantation Origin (LEPO), this assessment is based on the Roy Maps of 1750 which were prepared for military purposes and thus woodlands not of military importance were often not mapped. Maps by John Ross, 1777 and J Thomson & Co, Edinburgh 1820 show mature tree cover along burnsides south of the Highlandman’s Road, although their precise location is confusing on maps of this age and scale. The 1st Edition Ordnance Survey 25” map for 1860 (See Annex 6) shows the Wood almost as it is today, except for a small extension in the NE corner which seems to have occurred when the west Highland railway line was built.
