  • Excavations at Craigievar Castle, Aberdeenshire Moira K Greig* with Contributions by Colvin Greig, Bill Lindsay, Stewart Thain & Gordon Williamson
    Proc Antiqc So Scot,(1993)3 12 , 381-93, fiche 2:B1-C4 Excavations at Craigievar Castle, Aberdeenshire Moira K Greig* with contributions by Colvin Greig, Bill Lindsay, Stewart Thain & Gordon Williamson ABSTRACT In the summer of 1990 the National Trust for Scotland funded an excavation to increase their knowledge of Craigievar Castle. This excavation revealed the remains of the east wall and part of the south wall of the original barmkin, along with two contemporary stone drains and a few post-holes. The excavation also recovered coins, pottery and glass. INTRODUCTION Aberdeenshire, now part of Grampian Region, is well known for its great castles. Of the later castles, built in the 17th century, many carried on the tradition of building a contiguous courtyard, or barmkin, although the defensive need for its surrounding wall was rarely required by that time. Today most of these castles have lost their barmkins or have only fragmentary remains, and little is known about their design (for the Lowlands, see Good & Tabraham 1988). However t Craigievaa , r Castlee paristh f n Leochel-Cushnii o h, J (N e 56670748), there exist almosn sa t complete stretc barmkif ho n wall. No contemporary records are known to exist that describe the interior of the courtyard t Craigievara , althoug assumn ca e ehon that there were stable byresd san brewerya , smithya , , and other necessary buildings. There are, however, within the castle, two 18th-century plans which, though differing in some of the structural details that they depict, do show definitive evidence of a barmkin wall enclosing a courtyard with internal buildings.

    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.

  • Turriff and District U3A Newsletter March 2020
    Turriff and District U3A Newsletter March 2020 We are all saddened by the passing of our chair- man David Liebnitz in January - pictured here on the left at a geology outing to the Burn of Vat. David was keen member of the geology group. David was a founding member of Turriff and Dis- trict U3A and served the organisation as Member- ship Secretary from the beginning as well as being Chairman for the past three years. He also led the walking group being a keen walker him- self. No matter where the walk might take them there was always time for a seat and a rest and always a visit to a cafe for coffee and cake at the end of each walk. A tradition that will continue in the future for sure. He will certainly be missed by many in the organisation and we are grateful for all the hard work he did in his various roles. It was a pleasure to know him. Looking back over the last few months we have had a variety of speakers attending our general meetings. In November two employees of Santander gave us a very interest- ing presentation on Internet secu- rity and in December Claire Christie gave an insight into Citizens Advice. January saw Stuart Grant presenting Live Life Aberdeenshire and we were put through our paces in a seated exercise rou- tine by Joanne. Then in February there was a change of speaker and we were grateful to Albert Cran who gave us an insight into the life of a paramedic.

    Item: 13 Page: 134 Education & Children’s Services REPORT TO COMMUNITIES COMMITTEE – 8 NOVEMBER 2018 DISPOSAL OF OBJECTS FROM ABERDEENSHIRE COUNCIL MUSEUM COLLECTIONS 1 Recommendations The Committee is recommended to: 1.1 Approve the disposal of 22 museum objects from Aberdeenshire Council Museum collections, in line with Aberdeenshire Council’s Disposal Policy. 2 Background / Discussion 2.1 Aberdeenshire Council Museums Service is Accredited by Museums Galleries Scotland. The Service is required to follow disposal procedures as outlined in its Collections Development Policy 2015-20 (Appendix 2 - 16. Disposal procedures), which was previously agreed by Committee. 2.2 The Collections Development Policy stipulates that the decision to dispose of material from the collections will be taken by the governing body only after full consideration of the reasons for disposal. The Communities Committee is the recognised “Governing Body” for the service and works within the principle that sound curatorial reasons for disposal must be established before consideration is given to the disposal of any items in Aberdeenshire Council’s museum collections. 2.3 A decision to dispose of a specimen or object, whether by gift, exchange, sale or destruction (in the case of an item too badly damaged or deteriorated to be of any use for the purposes of the collections or for reasons of health and safety), will be the responsibility of the governing body of Aberdeenshire Council Museums Service acting on the advice of professional curatorial staff, if any, and not of the curator of the collection acting alone. The Council’s Area Committees will be informed. 2.4 Aberdeenshire Council Museums Service recommends the disposal of 22 objects as listed below.
