  • How Board Could Meet Savings Target a BROAD Outline of How NHS Lion Were Required
    THE NHS HIGHLAND STAFF NEWSPAPER June 2016 HighNOVEMBERlights 2015 LONELINESS Four pupils of Drakies Primary School, Inverness, provided the highlight of the most recent meeting of NHS Highland’s board, when they gave a talk on the school’s recently launched community café and on how it is helping to address the wider issue of loneliness and social isolation. The pupils, who were accompanied by headteacher Michelle Taylor, were asked to give the presentation after the school’s participation in the launch of NHS Highland’s ‘Reach Out’ campaign, which is encouraging people to “make a difference for someone who’s lonely”. As well as giving a short speech, the pupils an- swered questions by members of the board, and also asked questions about the Reach Out campaign. For more on Reach Out, see pages 6 and 7.

  • Report of a Project to Survey the Site of Kinbeachie Castle, Cullicudden on the Black Isle
    Report of a project to survey the site of Kinbeachie Castle, Cullicudden on the Black Isle st by members of NOSAS - 1 March 2017 Introduction The small estate of Kinbeachie, amounting to “a half davoch”, is located in the northwest part of the Black Isle overlooking the Cromarty Firth. Today the area is productive arable land but in the 16th century there are references to “the King (James VI) hunting in the woodland along the Kinbeakie Burn”. The archaeological site known as Kinbeachie Castle comprises a collection of grassy humps and bumps covering an area of approximately 70m x 60m in the corner of a field. The 1st edition OS map of 1876 (right) has a cluster of roofed buildings which is annotated “Kinbeachie Castle” and the date 1546; the OS name book of the same year reports that “the name applies to the ruins of an old castle, formerly the seat of the proprietor of Kinbeachie. The southern gable is the only portion of the building which stands in its entirety, the rest having only a foot or so above ground…….a stone with the date 1546 still remains in the standing gable just over the place where the fireplace has been”. There are two entries on the archaeological databases for the site: • Canmore ID 13705 (HER ID MHG8193) – Castle (Medieval) at GR NH 6343 6218 • Canmore ID 13700 (HER ID MHG8198) – Farmstead at GR NH 6339 6218 The gable noted in 1876 was still standing in 1959 when the RCAHMS photographed the building (see photo below) but it was demolished soon afterwards for safety reasons.

  • Remembering Knockbain Parish Heritage
    Remembering Knockbain Parish Heritage In 2014 people met to explore the heritage of Knockbain Parish on the Black Isle through courses, fieldtrips and sharing memories. In a short period of time, a great deal of information was collected about places in this often overlooked area of the Black Isle. The information in this document was collected during indoor sessions drawing on old maps and photographs, during walks to Munlochy, Kilmuir, Easter Suddie and Belmaduthy, and on visits to Highland Archives and Groam House Museum. Many of the sites are long forgotten, and some are deteriorating. The information has also been submitted to the Highland Council Historical Environment Record (the HER; her.highland.gov.uk), the database of all known heritage in the Highlands, and will lead to the creation of 70 new records. Later it will be submitted to Canmore, the Scottish database of heritage (canmore.rcahms.gov.uk). The group has also produced a walking leaflet for Munlochy Village, available locally. There is still more to learn, and further research and sessions to collect memories would expand this picture. The project was organised by Knockbain Community Council with funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund and Highland Council. Courses and fieldtrips were led by Susan Kruse of ARCH (Archaeology for Communities in the Highlands). We would also like to thank the Highland Archives, Groam House Museum and the Taylor family. But most of all, thanks to the many people who contributed information, either during the sessions or even as we were passing their houses. Archaeology for Communities in the Highlands (ARCH) is a registered Scottish Charity, No.

A watching brief was conducted throughout ground-breaking works from August 2016 to August 2017 to enable installation of drains, paths, services and signage. An excavation to lower the floor levels of the Kirk was undertaken in October and November 2016. Excavations within the Kirk revealed an earlier phase of wall and some material that may be related to a building or renovation phase. There was also a considerable depth of modern material, including wooden box-like structures and excess soil from grave digging. Many modern artefacts were recovered including bottles and vases. A scatter of 17th and 18th century coins are thought to have been imported with grave digging material, along with many disarticulated and fragmentary human remains. The human remains have undergone basic analysis and have been reinterred within the graveyard. Twenty monumental grave ledger slabs were recorded during the watching brief of works for the installation of new paths and drains. All the slabs were able to be preserved in-situ. No other artefacts of interest were recovered during the watching brief.

  • September Board Report
    Director’s Report September Board Meeting 2012. Bailiffing Bailiffing patrols took place throughout the summer. There were problems with the boat engine which were eventually diagnosed and repaired by early August. Foot and sea kayak patrols took place as well as river canoe patrols. An illegal gill net was seized on the Black Isle. By late August, bailiffs had dealt with18 incidents and 4 arrests had been made. One of the arrests made was related to large scale commercial poaching. A liaison meeting was held with the new Chief Superintendent at Dingwall to improve collaboration between bailiffs and police. New Wildlife Liaison Officers are to be appointed and will work with bailiffs to coordinate activities. There were pollution incidents on the Allt Graad, Bran and Blackwater. In the two most serious of these SEPA are considering prosecution. Website A new website has been created with support from ASFB. The site is at www.cromarty.dsfb.org.uk . It is live but still under development. The site gives public access to important strategic documents such as the Fishery Management and Biosecurity plans as well as regular news updates and reports. Projects / research Peffery The Conservation Volunteers and Dingwall Environment Group are working to restore diversity to the instream habitat of the River Peffery. The works involve the installation of timber and stone to create meanders and variation in flow and depth. This project is supported by funding from the SEPA restoration fund and help from the Moray Firth Sea Trout Project. Electro-fishing A number of electro-fishing projects took place this summer; A fry index survey of the Allt Graad was completed in June.
