  • The Grapevine November 2018 Blair Drummond Grapevine Gratefully Acknowledges United Auctions Generosity in Printing This and Previous Editions of This Newsletter
    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 Former Pupils' Newsletter
    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.

  • Grapevine 23.Feb 2017
    Issue 23 The Grapevine February 2017 Blair Drummond Grapevine gratefully acknowledges United Auctions generosity in printing this and previous editions of this newsletter. Down our Way (An occasional series of interviews with local people) The Blair Drummond area, like any other rural area, continues to change in many ways, with new businesses, houses, road realignment and families coming into the community. And yet there are always familiar things and people who anchor it and make it unique in itself. The McBeath family are certainly people who contribute fully to the community they live in and have done so for generations. Recently, through conversation with John McBeath (above), of Joiners Cottage, the Grapevine gained some insight into the role they have played and continue to do, here in Blair Drummond. Q. How long have the McBeath family been in the area? A. My great grandfather came to this area from Blackford in the 1860s and to Ramoth, on the Coldoch Road in 1896. He was a stonemason and one of those who built the Wallace Monument. 1 Q. And the joiner side of the family, who began that aspect? A. My father was born in 1903 at Ramoth, and the family moved to the Post Office (now our home) in 1910. He became a time served joiner. I followed on from him and now there’s our son Gordon and his son Sean, making it over 100years since we began the business. Q. So whom do we have in the McBeath family now? A. Well, Margaret and I married in 1959 and we went on to have our eldest son John, followed by Catriona and then the youngest Gordon who, with his wife Pauline, has 4 sons – James, Sean, Andrew and Fraser.
