Caithness County Council
Caithness County Council RECORDS’ IDENTITY STATEMENT Reference number: CC Alternative reference number: Title: Caithness County Council Dates of creation: 1720-1975 Level of description: Fonds Extent: 10 bays of shelving Format: Mainly paper RECORDS’ CONTEXT Name of creators: Caithness County Council Administrative history: 1889-1930 County Councils were established under the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1889. They assumed the powers of the Commissioners of Supply, and of Parochial Boards, excluding those in Burghs, under the Public Health Acts. The County Councils also assumed the powers of the County Road Trusts, and as a consequence were obliged to appoint County Road Boards. Powers of the former Police Committees of the Commissioners were transferred to Standing Joint Committees, composed of County Councillors, Commissioners and the Sheriff of the county. They acted as the police committee of the counties - the executive bodies for the administration of police. The Act thus entrusted to the new County Councils most existing local government functions outwith the burghs except the poor law, education, mental health and licensing. Each county was divided into districts administered by a District Committee of County Councillors. Funded directly by the County Councils, the District Committees were responsible for roads, housing, water supply and public health. Nucleus: The Nuclear and Caithness Archive 1 Provision was also made for the creation of Special Districts to be responsible for the provision of services including water supply, drainage, lighting and scavenging. 1930-1975 The Local Government Act (Scotland) 1929 abolished the District Committees and Parish Councils and transferred their powers and duties to the County Councils and District Councils (see CC/6). -

THE PINNING STONES Culture and Community in Aberdeenshire
THE PINNING STONES Culture and community in Aberdeenshire When traditional rubble stone masonry walls were originally constructed it was common practice to use a variety of small stones, called pinnings, to make the larger stones secure in the wall. This gave rubble walls distinctively varied appearances across the country depend- ing upon what local practices and materials were used.

Caithness and Sutherland Proposed Local Development Plan Committee Version November, 2015
Caithness and Sutherland Proposed Local Development Plan Committee Version November, 2015 Proposed CaSPlan The Highland Council Foreword Foreword Foreword to be added after PDI committee meeting The Highland Council Proposed CaSPlan About this Proposed Plan About this Proposed Plan The Caithness and Sutherland Local Development Plan (CaSPlan) is the second of three new area local development plans that, along with the Highland-wide Local Development Plan (HwLDP) and Supplementary Guidance, will form the Highland Council’s Development Plan that guides future development in Highland. The Plan covers the area shown on the Strategy Map on page 3). CaSPlan focuses on where development should and should not occur in the Caithness and Sutherland area over the next 10-20 years. Along the north coast the Pilot Marine Spatial Plan for the Pentland Firth and Orkney Waters will also influence what happens in the area. This Proposed Plan is the third stage in the plan preparation process. It has been approved by the Council as its settled view on where and how growth should be delivered in Caithness and Sutherland. However, it is a consultation document which means you can tell us what you think about it. It will be of particular interest to people who live, work or invest in the Caithness and Sutherland area. In preparing this Proposed Plan, the Highland Council have held various consultations. These included the development of a North Highland Onshore Vision to support growth of the marine renewables sector, Charrettes in Wick and Thurso to prepare whole-town visions and a Call for Sites and Ideas, all followed by a Main Issues Report and Additional Sites and Issues consultation. -

Ruth R. Chin March 21, 1937 - July 18, 2018
PHONE: (972) 562-2601 Ruth R. Chin March 21, 1937 - July 18, 2018 Ruth R. (Gormley) Chin of Allen, Texas passed away on July 18, 2018 in Allen, Texas at the age of 81. She was born an only child as Robina Boyle Gormley (Namesake of her maternal Grandmother, Robina Boyle McGuire) on March 21, 1937 to Charles Joseph and Mary (McGuire) Gormley in Glasgow, Scotland. Ruth’s childhood home was The Morningside District of Edinburgh, Scotland. She attended St. Peter’s Primary School in Edinburgh, Holy Cross Academy also in Edinburgh and The Royal Academy of Music in London where she studied classical piano. Ruth was a member of the Dallas Chapter of the Daughters of the British Empire. She was a music teacher at Good Shepherd Catholic School in Garland, St. Phillip The Apostle Catholic School in Dallas and the Jewish Community Center in N. Virginia. Affectionately known as “Mumsie” within the family, we will always remember Ruth’s lovely countenance and her gift to make you feel special. She had a uniquely peaceful aura and was always a proper lady with perfect Continental table manners she learned from her Mother and in turn, passed them on to her children. Ruth had a very close relationship with her Dad. He encouraged her often to keep up with her music, tennis and netball; he pushed her to practice and develop skills and be competitive. He demanded excellence; she always had a strong desire to ‘win’ as a result. As a child, she enjoyed Highland Dancing and Scottish Country Dancing. -

PLN00214 Caithness Craft Art Skate Surf Ltd Land 600M West of 7 West
THE HIGHLAND COUNCIL Agenda Item 5.1 NORTH PLANNING APPLICATIONS COMMITTEE – Report No PLN/002/14 14 January 2014 13/00191/FUL : Caithness Craft Art Skate Surf Ltd Land 600M West Of 7 West Murkle, Murkle Thurso Report by Area Planning Manager SUMMARY Description : Change of use from former US Naval Communications Base to artists studios/ workshops, cafe, gallery and skatepark Recommendation - GRANT Ward : 04 – Landward Caithness Development category : Local Development Pre-determination hearing : None Reason referred to Committee : Objection from Community Council & more than 5 objections from 5 separate addresses. 1. PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT 1.1 The proposal seeks to change the use of the former military installation at West Murkle to create a multi functional artist studio and workshop facility with café, gallery and internal skatepark. The site is approximately 2km to the North East of Thurso, in a rural/coastal setting overlooking Thurso Bay. The existing cluster of buildings take the form of a large dominant industrial type building with an approximate floor area of 717m2 together with three smaller ancillary buildings. This application seeks to utilise the main building on the site together with existing access and parking provision. Very little indication of the sites original purpose is evident apart from the security fence surrounding the buildings, a squat sentry building and a number of faded signs. The building is currently disused. Access is via the unclassified U2205 and U2858 roads off the main A836 coast road. The unclassified roads are single track with passing places with fencing/walling to fields to either side. 1.2 The developer entered into non-statutory pre-application discussions in 2012.
