  • 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following list of approximately 500 names, mostly with full analysis and early forms, many of which were collected from unpublished documents, has been printed out from the Scottish Place-Name Database, for more details of which see Appendix below.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.

  • Dornoch Firth Campus December 2019
    Hello As we fast approach the Christmas break we would like to take a little time to reflect on the successes and achievements of our whole school community. Many of our children, young people and colleagues have received recognition for their creativity and hard work. A special congratulations should be made to Dr Allan for his international work. Well done also to Joan Murray at Bonar Bridge Primary who received Public Servant of the Year award, and also to Howard Tolliday for his recent recognition in the UK Salters' National Awards for Science Technicians. Finally, I would also like to extend a special thank you to our brilliant librarian, Fiona Macleod, who is always looking for new and creative ways of engaging children and young people in reading. The atmosphere in the library is wonderful and it is great to see so many young people interested in books. Fiona’s work has been complemented by our primary school teachers who have been presenting lively and engaging assemblies over the last few months. The children are developing their confidence in public speaking and this will support their studies and aspirations later in their school and career pathways. It was great to see so many of you at the recent family event and we welcome your feedback on how we can continue to develop events and activities which support our partnership and learning at home. If you are interested in presenting or running an event please do not hesitate to contact us. In S3, we hope to meet many of you on Tuesday 3 December during our Learner Journey Review Event which will run from 9.00 am until 7.00 pm.

Things to do Make an itinerary How to get there Choosing accommodation Food and drink Discounts and saving money Safety tips Where are the Highlands? The Highlands is the area north and west of the Highland Boundary Fault (from Arran and Helensburgh on the west coast stretching across to Stonehaven in the east). It is the uppermost part of Scotland (made up of six smaller regions) and home to famous attractions such as Ben Nevis and Loch Ness, towns (notably Fort William, Nairn and Aviemore) and the “City of the Highlands” - Inverness. Traditionally visitors wishing to experience the beautiful Scottish outdoors will travel to the Highlands to visit the scenic lochs, tall snow capped, mountains, vast glens, ancient monuments as well as the beaches and bays along North Scotland’s iconic coastline. Seals, puffins, whales and dolphins are often spotted on these shores. You may want to try to catch a glimpse of the infamous Aurora Borealis (the Northern Lights), walk amongst the The Highlands varied wildlife and flora or appreciate the breath-taking Scottish landscapes as part of your Highland experience. Or visit historic towns and villages for sightseeing, fine and traditional dining, shopping and a taste of Highland life.

  • “Hardwood Development for North Scotland
    2017 ICF North Scotland Hardwood Development for North Scotland: Progress & Options Kiltarlity/ Beauly, Inverness-shire - 27th April 2017 Subject Matter This meeting will examine the progress in realising the potential of hardwood trees for timber and woodfuel production in the north of Scotland as well as at options and Research and Development needs for the future. There is a long-standing history of hardwood silviculture (oak, ash, elm, beech. sycamore) on certain private estates in the region. However recent decades have seen a growing perception that hardwoods cannot be grown economically at this latitude (57-59 degN) despite experience to the contrary from Scandinavia and development work by Highland Birchwoods etc. Few hardwood stands in the region have been managed for timber since the 1950’s. Recent increases in demand for estate woodfuel and interest in local/community woodland management have raised the profile of hardwoods. The Forestry Commission aims to manage a proportion of their hardwood resources for timber. We now need to consider what we already know and what more we need to know for the next steps. In the morning session, we have speaker presentations from relevant Forestry Commission and Forest Research staff, and from private consultants. After lunch, we will visit key local private woodlands where hardwoods are being tended for timber. Tea and Coffee will be provided. Attendees must bring their own packed lunch. Venue The morning indoor component of the meeting on Thursday 27th April will be held at Kiltarlity Village Hall near Beauly - 12 miles west of Inverness. Field visits in the afternoon will be to relevant woodland sites in the locality, under private ownership.

  • 2-DAY TOUR to EILEAN DONAN CASTLE, LOCH NESS & the WEST
    2-DAY TOUR to EILEAN DONAN CASTLE, LOCH NESS & the WEST HIGHLANDS DAY 1 We leave Edinburgh and head west on a motorway that links the capital to Glasgow, the largest city in Scotland and its industrial heartland. From Glasgow, we pass Stirling on the right, the site of the Battle of Bannockburn where, in 1314, a Scottish army under King Robert the Bruce won a crucial victory against the English. Dominating the town is Stirling Castle which sits high on a large volcanic rock. Prominently sited on a hill close to Stirling is the Wallace Monument, our first stop of the day. It is 67 metres high and was built in the 1860’s to commemorate our great freedom fighter, William Wallace, who led an army against the English and defeated them at the Battle of Stirling Bridge in 1297. He was immortalised in the 1995 film ‘Braveheart’. You will have the chance to visit the monument* and the museum inside which has Wallace’s massive sword (1.7 metres long) on display. There are excellent views from the top. At Stirling we head west. Soon we cross over the river Teith and as we do so, on the right, is the very imposing Doune Castle. Next we drive through Callander, and in the area where the Clan MacGregor reigned in the Middle Ages : the clans were extremely powerful at that time and the best known MacGregor was Rob Roy who was born in 1671. At the next village, Tyndrum, the road divides and we head north into a very sparsely populated area.

  • A History of the Lairds of Grant and Earls of Seafield
    t5^ %• THE RULERS OF STRATHSPEY GAROWNE, COUNTESS OF SEAFIELD. THE RULERS OF STRATHSPEY A HISTORY OF THE LAIRDS OF GRANT AND EARLS OF SEAFIELD BY THE EARL OF CASSILLIS " seasamh gu damgean" Fnbemess THB NORTHERN COUNTIES NEWSPAPER AND PRINTING AND PUBLISHING COMPANY, LIMITED 1911 M csm nil TO CAROLINE, COUNTESS OF SEAFIELD, WHO HAS SO LONG AND SO ABLY RULED STRATHSPEY, AND WHO HAS SYMPATHISED SO MUCH IN THE PRODUCTION OP THIS HISTORY, THIS BOOK IS AFFECTIONATELY DEDICATED BY THE AUTHOR. PREFACE The material for " The Rulers of Strathspey" was originally collected by the Author for the article on Ogilvie-Grant, Earl of Seafield, in The Scots Peerage, edited by Sir James Balfour Paul, Lord Lyon King of Arms. A great deal of the information collected had to be omitted OAving to lack of space. It was thought desirable to publish it in book form, especially as the need of a Genealogical History of the Clan Grant had long been felt. It is true that a most valuable work, " The Chiefs of Grant," by Sir William Fraser, LL.D., was privately printed in 1883, on too large a scale, however, to be readily accessible. The impression, moreover, was limited to 150 copies. This book is therefore published at a moderate price, so that it may be within reach of all the members of the Clan Grant, and of all who are interested in the records of a race which has left its mark on Scottish history and the history of the Highlands. The Chiefs of the Clan, the Lairds of Grant, who succeeded to the Earldom of Seafield and to the extensive lands of the Ogilvies, Earls of Findlater and Seafield, form the main subject of this work.

The maintenance activities are broken down into ‘scheme’ and ‘cyclic maintenance’. ‘Scheme’ represents those works that will be required over the next 5 years, whilst ‘cyclic maintenance’ represents those works which may be required over the same timeframe. Inspections will also be carried out to identify the degree of maintenance activity required. Following review of detailed bathymetric data obtained in August 2018, BEAR Scotland now anticipate that scour repairs at Kessock Bridge are unlikely to be required within the next 5 five years; hence, this activity is considered cyclic maintenance. The activities encompass the following: Schemes • Fender replacement; • Superstructure painting and • Cable stay painting. Cyclic maintenance • Scour repairs; • Drainage cleaning; • Bird guano removal; • Structural bolt and weld renewal; • Mass damper re-tuning; • Pendel bearing inspection; • Cleaning and pressure washing superstructure • Cable stay re-tensioning; • Minor bridge maintenance.
