NEWBURGH Newburgh & Ythan Community Trust In August the Newburgh and Ythan Community Trust was formed. Under the umbrella of Foveran Community Council and covering the same geographical area, it aims to benefit local people and enhance the enjoyment of visitors to our part of Aberdeenshire. At the moment we have 5 Trustees; Isobel Davidson (Chairperson), Ron Macdonald (Secretary), Glen Douglas (Treasurer), Martyn Gorman and Scott Baxter. We will hold a public meeting in the first quarter of 2020 to discuss our future plans and to obtain feedback on these and to hear other ideas from those who attend. Our hope that this will be an opportunity for anyone interested to both put forward ideas and to become members of the Trust! We hope to take forward projects that enhance the cultural, historic and natural heritage of the area. One of the first we have in mind is improving the visitor experience at Newburgh Links which increasingly is attracting more and more people who come to view the large haul-out of Grey seals on the Forvie side of the Ythan estuary. We have completed a feasibility study looking at improving the car park, footpaths and interpretation and constructing a new all abilities path and viewing platform close to the estuary side. At the moment we are negotiating a long-term agreement with the landowners which would enable the Trust to take on the management of the area. We will present more information on this project at the public meeting planned for early in 2020. In the meantime, if you wish to know more about the work of the Trust then please contact me on 01358789006 or email [email protected] Ron Macdonald Secretary, Newburgh & Ythan Community Trust NEWBURGH Hello Everyone Summer has been and gone, as has 'scary' Halloween and fireworks and so the year rolls on, but I hope you all enjoyed your summer and holidays if you were lucky to go away. Newburgh SWI has had some good entertaining evenings since our restart in September. Our first speaker of the new session was Mr Colin Slessor from Thainstone Mart. Colin, a Buchan Loon, started out as a shepherd in his early working life and went into the mart in 1993. He gave a very good insight into the workings of the mart and how it has moved with the times. It plays a major role in Scotland's Agricultural Economy and has diversified over the years. He told of his appearance in the TV show The Mart. Colin has taken part in London Marathons and tells of his determination to complete them, raising funds for cancer research Also he has taken part in 'Brave 2017' the charity fashion show for men who have been touched by cancer. Colin is a lovely man, who was easy to listen to and very entertaining. Everyone enjoyed the evening and I'm sure could have listened to Colin for longer. A fun evening was had in October when Isobel Gregory from Pitullie brought along her large collection of hats. She had two bags full of hats of all shapes and sizes. Each hat she pulled from her bag she wore and told is a little about it. Hats ranged from a Homberg, a Davy Crocket hat, nurses’ caps from the 1950s, a tartan hat the she wore at her stall at Taste of Grampian - adding that Camilla and Dame Judi Dench have both been seen wearing identical hats - a 1970's ABBA sparkly hat and even a Fez. There was a Losoto hat brought back from South Africa, a Cub Scout cap, a 1950's child's hat and a Grace Kelly 'soup plate' hat. Other items in the bags included silk bloomers, a fox stole a rainmate, a Fair Isle scarf and many others too numerous to list. She must have worn about 60 hats. Isobel visits Care Homes to show her hats which help to trigger memories for the residents. I'm sure she will be invited back in the future to delve deeper into her bag of magic. The Macmillan Coffee Morning was held at the end of September in the Church Hall. A big 'thankyou' goes out to all who came along for their coffee, the helpers making the coffees and serving them and those who baked and donated for the cake stall. A superb sum of over £628 was raised for this very worthwhile cause. Our November meeting was a flower arranging evening with Janet Campbell, and I'll give details of that in the next Foveran News. December will be our 'Evening at the Panto' which is enjoyed with great gusto. That sums up our News for now. All that is left for me to do is to wish you all a merry and peaceful Christmas and a very happy New Year - and remember we would love to see you at a meeting sometime.

  • Church of Scotland Records Held by Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire Archives
    CHURCH OF SCOTLAND RECORDS HELD BY ABERDEEN CITY AND ABERDEENSHIRE ARCHIVES A GUIDE CONTENTS INTRODUCTION i ABERDEEN PRESBYTERY RECORDS 1 ST NICHOLAS KIRK SESSION RECORDS 4 GREYFRIARS KIRK SESSION RECORDS 12 NIGG KIRK SESSION RECORDS 18 ABERDEEN SYNOD RECORDS 19 ST CLEMENTS KIRK SESSION 20 JOHN KNOX KIRK SESSION RECORDS 23 INTRODUCTION Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire Archives holds various records relating to the Church of Scotland in Aberdeen. The records are held by Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire Archives on behalf of the National Archives of Scotland under what is known as ‘Charge and Superintendence’. When the Church of Scotland deposited its records in Edinburgh, a decision was made that where there were suitable repositories, local records would be held in their area of origin. As a result, Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire Archives was designated as a suitable repository and various records were returned to the city. Microfilm copies of the majority of the original volumes can be viewed in the National Archives in Edinburgh. All Church of Scotland records begin with the reference CH2 followed by the number allocated to that particular church. For example, St Nicholas is referenced 448, therefore the full reference number for the records of the St Nicholas Kirk Session is CH2/448 followed by the item number. If you wish to look at any of the records, please note the reference number (this always starts with CH2 for records relating to the Church of Scotland) and take care to ensure the record you wish to view covers the correct dates. You do not need to note the description of the item, only the reference, but please ensure you have identified the correct item.

  • August 2019 Newsletter
    August 2019 Newsletter Firstly, thanks very much to you all for your interest and joining Grampian Cycle Partnership! We have been overwhelmed by the many really kind and supportive comments we have received to date. We are absolutely committed to working positively for cycling across the north east. GCP truly believe we can encourage more people to take up cycling or cycle more by working constructively together with the army of committed and enthusiastic people already doing some fantastic pieces of work across the City, Shire and Moray. Over the last few months, GCP has been meeting with partners and other stakeholders on several projects as well as being involved in ongoing cycling issues for the region. We are taking this time to review what’s going on and tell you what we have been up to. We genuinely think it’s an exciting time for cycling in the area and GCP’s partners have been at the forefront. Please find below some information on what we’ve been involved with so far. Westhill to Aberdeen cycle path An initial open meeting was held with cyclists who use this path to discuss the issues and set up a working project group to document these issues and work with the councils to develop the improvements to this important corridor. This cycle path continues to be among the busiest routes in the whole of the north east. Stonehaven to Aberdeen cycle path At our last meeting we committed to form a similar group for the links to and from the City from the south.

We believe that this development has the potential to overcome many of these issues and make Foveran a destination for modern living. Foveran sits in the heart of the new Energetica and Strategic Growth Corridors, therefore is ideally located for investment and development. We would like to assist in bringing this disjointed community together to create a village with new employment opportunities, modern amenities and a school with updated facilities.

  • Foveran Links SSSI NCA Review – Earth Sciences
    Foveran Links SSSI: NCA Review (Assessment of Geomorphology) Foveran Links SSSI NCA Review – Earth Sciences Dr Alistair Rennie Page 1 Doc ID: A1882825 Foveran Links SSSI: NCA Review (Assessment of Geomorphology) Summary and Recommendation: 1. The construction of Menie Links Golf Course within Foveran Links SSSI has removed the vast majority of the geomorphological interest within the vicinity of the golf course. Therefore there are insufficient scientific interests to merit a geomorphological SSSI within the Menie Links. Given the absence of the supporting geomorphological processes, this analysis suggests that the ecological designation is untenable within the foot print of the golf course. 2. The earth science interests remain within the GCR site within the northern half of Forvie Links. 3. Two of the SSSI’s most striking features have been destroyed: 99% of the Menie sand sheet has been lost as a result of the golf course, 90% of the Sandend Burn sand sheet has also been lost. 4. Whilst not pre-judging the ecological advice, my recommendation is that de-designation of the Menie Links part of the SSSI is justified based on the loss of landforms and processes, and that a new southern boundary for the SSSI is considered further north, either coincident with the GCR site or from Drums Burn to incorporate ecological interests within the southern part of Foveran Links.
