Local Shepherd Peter Martin has put Inversnaid on the map by winning 'The Scottish National Sheepdog Trials' at Annan in Dumfries & Galloway in July 2003 with 'Fly (8yrs) & Moss (3yrs). This was for 'The Brace' where 2 dogs work in conjunction to herd and eventually pen 2 separate sets of sheep. (think of 1 man and his dog) Then in September this enabled both Shepherd & Dogs to go forward and represent Scotland in 'The International Sheepdog Trials' held at Castle Kennedy near Stranraer between the 11th & 13th of September 2003 - where they achieved a very respectable 4th position. After a tremendous show at 'The Scottish Nationals' and 'The Internationals', Moss will in future be working with his new American Lady Owner and will hopefully achieve the same success with her as he did with Peter. 50 Years of Forestry!

  • Scenery ... History ... Mystery
    ... Scenery ... History ... Mystery www.witchescraig.co.uk Witches Craig The AA Campsite of the Year 2015 Winner for Scotland is situated at the foot of the Ochil Hills under the watchful gaze of the nearby National Wallace Monument. Visit Scotland have graded Witches Craig “an exceptional 5 star” touring park. Our park has won many other awards in recent years, including “Loo of the Year” and a David Bellamy “Gold” Conservation award. More pleasing than any award is the huge number of repeat customers and great reviews we receive in person and on review websites. We are particularly proud of the many hand drawn pictures of witches and toy witches that line the walls of our reception, gifted by families to mark a great stay. For almost forty years our family run, family friendly site has been a gateway to the Highlands and a base for exploring historic Stirling. Nearby you’ll also discover the scenic Trossachs, the rolling hills of Perthshire, the tranquil beaches of the Kingdom of Fife and much more. More than that, Witches Craig is in itself a destination – a peaceful, relaxing part of Central Scotland where every pitch has stunning views of the Ochil Hills and across to the historic city of Stirling. If you’re feeling active, you can access the Ochil Hills direct from the park, wander along an ancient roadway to the village of Blairlogie, or walk in the footsteps of William Wallace to the nearby Abbey Craig. For a more relaxing stroll you can see lots of wildlife around the Stirling University campus loch.

    Issue 30 The Grapevine November 2018 Blair Drummond Grapevine gratefully acknowledges United Auctions generosity in printing this and previous editions of this newsletter. Births Suzanne Kenny (daughter of Helen & Robin Kenny, Robertson Lane Farm) and Matthew Houcke are delighted to announce the birth of their daughter Eliana Iris Houcke on 22nd July, weighing in at 7lb 4 oz. Mother and baby both doing well. Proud parents Laura Killen, Mid Rossburn Farm and Joe Malcolm, Wester Coilechat Farm, Callander are happy to announce the safe arrival of Ross Hamilton Malcolm who was born on 9th August 2018 weighing 9lb 5oz. 1 Thornhill and Blair Drummond Community Council Road Traffic Issues At long last, the A873 on the stretch from Blair Drummond Smiddy to Boghall has been re-surfaced. Minor roads elsewhere in our area (in particular Kirk Lane) sit lower on the Council’s priority list and are still in a poorly patched condition. Speeding in the Blair Drummond area remains a concern for the CC, particularly the danger this poses to children having to cross roads or waiting at the roadside for school buses. An action sits with the Stirling Councillors for our ward, to investigate what can be done in the way of traffic calming measures and to ensure children’s safety. The CC will seek to work with the schools’ Parent Councils to file for action under Stirling Council’s “Safe Routes to School” initiative. Proposals to introduce a 20mph speed limit in Thornhill are being supported by both Stirling Council and the CC. Police Matters Residents are reminded that at this time of year there is a tendency for doorstep crime (bogus callers and rogue traders) to increase.

Dingwall, venue for the SPNS‟s Autumn conference, is at the head of the Cromarty Firth, the sunlit water in the distance. The complex history of place-naming in this area is epitomised by the names for Dingwall itself. This is from Old Norse Þingvöllr, „assembly field‟, testifying to its importance under Norse rule. The Gaelic Inbhir Pheofharain is formed of the usual Gaelic word for a river mouth and a P-Celtic stream name (cf. Welsh pefr, „radiant, beautiful‟), also found at several other places in eastern Scotland as far south as the Peffer Burns and Peffermill in Lothian, as well as Peover in Cheshire. Those attending the conference may learn of the story behind an unofficial Gaelic name, Baile Chàil, „cabbage town‟.

    McLaren High School Dear Friends of McLaren High School Welcome to the 2015 edition of the Former Pupils newsletter. I hope the following articles give you a flavour of what has been going on at McLaren High School during Session 2014/15. As you will see we continue to be a very busy, thriving and productive school community. 50th Anniversary Celebration – McLaren Five 0:50 Years at Mollands Road McLaren High School celebrates 50 years at the Mollands Road campus after the move from the old school building in Bridgend, now Callander Primary. A number of events are taking place on Saturday 5 September to help celebrate this milestone and includes Sports Matches, Tours of the School & Exhibition and also a Ceilidh. It would be great to see many FPs come and join us. More information regarding these events can be found at the back of the newsletter. Orchestra Tour 2014 After over a year of planning and months of rehearsing a party of seventy pupils and nine staff left for Spain in June 2014 to embark on a week-long tour playing four concerts on the Costa Brava. The first concert in Lloret de Mar was going well until a thunder storm approached and the group had to cut short the performance. The theme for Star Wars has never been played so fast, or with lighting (or was it lightning!?) effects. The pupils showed great professionalism in dismantling the orchestra and PA system and loading up all the equipment on the bus in less than ten minutes before the heavy rain came on! The group visited Barcelona, taking in the sights and sounds of La Rambla with street performers, shops and cafes.
