  • 1696 Hearth Tax, Aberdeenshire Residents

    1696 Hearth Tax, Aberdeenshire Residents

    1696 Poll Tax List for the North East of Scotland In the latter part of the 17th century, the Scottish economy was in poor shape. Among several unpopular taxes introduced during this period was the Poll Tax that imposed a tax on every person over 16 (14?) years of age and not a beggar. The list of persons in Aberdeenshire is supposedly the only complete county list in existence, and enumerates some 30,000 persons, although less than 100 of these are Brebner/Bremner individuals. I have transcribed the Brebner/Bremner and all variant spellings from the indexes published by the late Archie Strath Maxwell and found in the main public library in Aberdeen. The Aberdeen and NE Scotland Family History Society (ANESFHS) has a series of full transcriptions of many of the Aberdeenshire parishes available for purchase, and I would recommend these to anyone who has traced their ancestors back to this early period. Many of the 1696 parishes had different names and boundaries than their 19th century counterparts, although farm names are often continued through the centuries. In looking through the Brebner/Bremner entries for Aberdeenshire, I found it most interesting that some parishes in which the families were well represented in the 18th and 19th centuries had no entries in 1696. This suggests that the founding members of those families came from other parts of Aberdeenshire, or indeed from other parts of Scotland. Trying to match individuals in this population poll with corresponding births or christenings is hampered by the lack of Old Parish Registers for many of the under-mentioned parishes during that early time.

    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.

The geophysical surveys included a substantial gradiometer and a smaller resistivity survey that aimed to characterise and explore the extent and survival of archaeology around the Craw Stane Pictish symbol stone (NJ42NE 35) and two other symbol stone findspots. The results showed several discrete anomalies; one of these was targeted by a small-scale excavation and proved to be a burnt Middle Bronze Age timber structure. This article describes the geophysical survey results and the excavation of the MBA structure and sets both within their landscape context. INTRODUCTION & Noble 2010).

    Excavation at Kildrummy Castle, Aberdeenshire, 1952

    EXCAVATIO T KILDRUMMNA Y CASTLE, ABERDEENSHIRE, 1952-62 . APTEDR . bM y , M.A., PH.D., F.S.A., F.S.A.SCOT. SUMMARY MRS YATES placed Kildrummy Castle under the guardianship of the then Ministry of Works in 1951. This paper records excavation and survey since that date with notes on the history of the castle and on unpublished small finds from previous excavation. Sections across the defences have confirmed the existence of a ditch S. of the castle corresponding to that on the E. and of a wide upcast bank and other features in front of the gatehouse. Excavation prior to consolidation has solved a number of problems in connection with the curtain walls and associated structures. New discoveries include the foundations of a 7 ft. wall extending across the S. front of thunbuiln a e f castlo d t toweean r butting agains chapee th t l gable. Recent historical research suggests that Edward I's master mason, James of St George havy ma e, bee t Kildrummna havd yan e been pai worr dfo k undertaken on King Edward's behalf there.

    A2B Dial-A-Bus Proposed Changes, Community Fund, Water Supplies, and More

    Subscribe Past Issues Translate View this email in your browser Dear All, A message from Aberdeenshire Council for people with private water supplies. There are parts of Aberdeenshire where water levels are at what is described as 'significant scarcity' by the Scottish Environment Protection Agency, which means that there may be pressure on water supplies. Please keep using water wisely. We are working with Scottish Water and the Scottish Government to provide bottled water and tanks to those whose private supply is running dry, at no cost. This would normally be something that we would expect owners to source themselves, but these are not normal circumstances. We are prioritising requests from those more vulnerable in the first instance. If you need help, please contact the council by emailing [email protected] or phoning 01467 539539 (during office hours). The Environmental Health Service will respond as quickly as possible to your enquiry. Long term, the service is providing advice on looking at future solutions such as support to help connect to the mains. If that is not possible, improvements to the current source or forming a new supply can be considered. Grants may be available for some of this work. There are over 7500 private water supplies in Aberdeenshire serving approximately 11500 properties. This is by far the highest number of any local authority in Scotland. There is some useful advice online here: http://www.scottishwater.co.uk/you-and-your-home/your-home/water-efficiency A2B Dial-a-bus proposed changes. Please see below the proposed changes to A2B dial-a-bus services in particular the suggestion that the Braemar – Ballater – Banchory service be withdrawn.

Welcome and Approval of Minutes: Welcome by HF. Minutes approved by DC, seconded by WF. 2. Accounts: See below for funds on hand. 3. Transport Gail gave an update on transport Funding & New Bus We were given supplementary guidance for procurement requirements to include within our LEADER application. If an item is over £50,000.01 a formal tender process is required, a review of the tender process was sent to all board members. All board members emails were required to be updated on the system and a breakdown of De Miminus funds as well as public funds had to be declared. It would be beneficial to the transport project if the Board would approve the loans from MDCT and DCT funds. The SALAG team will meet in October to discuss all applications and they will give us notification if our project was successful or not on 2nd December 2018. It is necessary to move quickly to order the new bus and to arrange a successful sale of the BU12 SBX.
