Parents of children with additional support needs, (including those that have Coordinated Support Plans) can make placing requests to any school in Scotland including schools outside of the local authority area they live in. All appeals about placing requests to special schools will be referred to the Additional Support Needs Tribunal. TRANSITION The catchment Secondary school is PLOCKTON HIGH SCHOOL, Ross-Shire, IV52 8TU telephone number 01599 530800. The Head Teacher is Mrs Susan Galloway. To help pupils with the transition they will spend a week in May at the High School and will have the opportunity to participate in a wide range of transition activities throughout the year. If required, pupils who require additional support with transition may be offered an extended transition process that may begin earlier or involve more focussed visits. Curriculum for Excellence 'A Curriculum for Excellence' provides explicit statements of the aims of education in Scotland, concepts which have long been implicit. In summary, the purposes of education are to enable all young people to become: successful learners confident individuals responsible citizens effective contributors. The development of these capacities, attributes and capabilities lies at the heart of work on curriculum renewal.

PREFACE. The first edition of the late Mr Mackenzie's "History of the Mathesons" appeared in 1882, and the book has now been long out of print. Mr Mackenzie had a difficult task in writing this work, for though the Clan in the 14th century undoubtedly rivalled in position and power the neighbouring Mackenzies, yet through the action of the Macdonalds in the following century its unity was broken, and it became a " minor clan," with no charters, and with no references thereto in public documents. The individual history of the Northern Clans at best begins with the 15th century, but here Mr Mackenzie had only the clan traditions to avail himself of until the 17th century, when the minor clans all over the North come into the light of history from under the shadow of the larger clans and their chiefs.

WATSON, MA.,LL.D. - \^' ^'--fSSSSS^.-sll^^ ENEAS MACKAY 43 MURRAY PLACE, STIRLING 1922 INTROiJUCTION. Dr Alexander Macbain's work on Names of Places deals with the Cehic names of pre-Gaehc " " he calls Pictish with Gaehc origin which ; names, ancl with names of Norse origin which have been transmitted through Gaelic. The area from which he took his materials was chiefly Inverness-shire, Sutherland, and Lewis. His views on the language spoken by the Picts are " given in his paper on Ptolemy's Geography of Scotland" (published separately), in his edition of Skene's "Highlanders of Scotland," and in several papers contained in this volume, particu- " larly that on the Place-Names of Inverness- shire." His position is that the Picts spoke that the Celtic Early British or a dialect of it, and language of early Britain was practically homo- geneous from the English Channel to the very North. He agrees with Kuno Meyer in holding " that no Gael ever set his foot on British soil save from a vessel that had put out from Ire- larid." Further, assuming that the terms Cruthen (which is the Gaelic form of Briton) and Pict are co-extensive and mutually convertible, VI. INTKODUCTION. ' ' ' he includes under Picts ' the whole of the Celtic settlers in Britain prior to the Belgae, thus ignoring the facts that the Picts are not heard of till about 300 %^, and that all old authorities (Gildas, Nennius, Bede, &c.) state that their original seat in Scotland was in the far North.

    The Highland Licensing Board Agenda 6 Item Meeting – 23 June 2020 Report HLB/036/20 No The Highland Licensing Board Functions Report 2019-20 Report by the Clerk to the Licensing Board Summary This report invites the Board to approve the Board’s third annual functions report for publication in accordance with section 9A of the Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005. 1. Background 1.1 The Air Weapons and Licensing (Scotland) Act 2015 amended the Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005 (“the Act”) to introduce a requirement that Licensing Boards produce and publish annual functions reports. 1.2 As a consequence, section 9A was inserted into the Act and came into force on 20 December 2017. 1.3 Section 9A of the Act states that the Board’s annual functions report must be prepared and published not later than 3 months after the end of each financial year. This means that the Board’s report for the financial year 2019-20 must be published, under normal circumstances, by no later than the end of June 2020. It is noted that under schedule 5 of the Coronavirus (Scotland) Act 2020 that a further 9 months is available to the Board if they are unable to publish their annual functions report by the end of June, due to a reason relating to coronavirus, but that is not required in this case. 1.4 The functions report must include- (a) a statement explaining how the Board has regard to- (i) the licensing objectives, and (ii) their licensing policy statement and any supplementary licensing policy statement (including the Board’s statement under section 7(1) (duty to assess

INTRODUCTION 1.1 This Agenda has been prepared by Kyle of Lochalsh Development Group with support from the Scottish Community Foundation (SCF) under their Our Community Our Future programme. Kyle Development Group was formed by local people who see a need for action so that Kyle can become a better place in which to live. The aim is to encourage groups in Kyle to work together towards a common and shared vision of how the area might be developed and to consider how existing assets, including the area of land between the village and the bridge, the Plock, can be reinvigorated and help catalyse Kyle's social and economic regeneration. 1.2 Taking action in this way reflects a national agenda. In March 2010 the Scottish Government published Our Rural Future, setting out a direction for rural development. The vision put forward for rural Scotland is: “We want to see a rural Scotland that is outward looking and dynamic - with a diverse economy and active communities. Rural prosperity will increase in ways which make best use of all of our resources – our people, as well as the land, seas, rivers and wildlife.
