Gartmore Village Hall Development Phase 1
CELEBRATING 100 PROJECTS FROM THE FORTH VALLEY AND LOMOND LEADER PROGRAMME 2007-2013 IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF LIFE IN RURAL FORTH VALLEY AND LOMOND THROUGH REVITALISED COMMUNITIES AND ENHANCED NATURAL ENVIRONMENTS Photo © SEAG FOREWORD I joined Forth Valley and Lomond LEADER Local Action Group during the last programme, when it only covered rural Stirling and West Dunbartonshire, and continued as Vice Chair and the Chair for this programme. For this LEADER programme the area expanded to take in rural Falkirk, rural Clackmannanshire and part of West Dunbartonshire more than doubling the population we covered. The escalation in LEADER coverage drove us to expand the Local Action Group (LAG) including many more people who had not had LEADER coverage before. The transition process was ultimately successful and the LAG became a knowledgeable sounding board for applications to LEADER, approving over £3m worth of projects in the area. This transition from a small LEADER area to a much larger and more varied rural area would not have been nearly as successful without the leadership and friendly manner of Dereck Fowles, Chair of Rural Stirling LEADER and first Chair of Forth Valley and Lomond LEADER. Sadly, Dereck passed away in November 2013 at the rip old age of 86, eleven of those years having been spent supporting and leading us in LEADER. Dereck was a friendly and welcoming Chair with a quick wit that was always used to put people at ease. Always very generous with his time and absolutely committed to the improvement of the lives of people living in rural Scotland, Dereck, more than any other single person, helped make this LEADER programme a success and he will be sorely missed in the Forth Valley and Lomond area and in rural Scotland. -

As a result, new polling districts and polling places for the new wards require to be confirmed to allow the 1999 draft register of electors to be prepared and subsequently published. 2.3 On 25 June 1998, the Council considered a report outlining the preliminary work undertaken by Officers in looking at the location, suitability and availability of premises within the new electoral wards which could serve as polling places. The proposed polling places were approved in principle to assist the process of drafting polling districts. -

May 2012 £1 The Bridge The Community Newsletter for Doune & Deanston Gartincaber Tower Toppled Bad weather and human neglect have combined to cause the destruction, recently, of a signifi cant local landmark erected more than two centuries ago to mark the centre of Scotland. Anyone travelling along the B826 between Deanston Toll and Thornhill and looking to the north cannot fail to have noticed Gartincaber Tower, standing on the skyline. The isolated landmark was built in 1790 for the owners of Gartincaber House; an elegant folly, the tower was said to mark the geographical centre of Scotland on the east-west axis. Long neglected, the building was of octagonal plan, rising two storeys to a battlemented platform and accessed from ground level by an external cast iron circular stairway. The fi rst fl oor had large, pointed, church-style windows on each side, giving all-round views, but those energetic enough to climb to the top would have enjoyed a wonderful panorama, encompassing the Forth valley, Carse of Stirling, Gargunnock Hills, the Trossachs and the southern Highlands. Over the years rain and frost have weakened the structure and recent severe gales fi nally caused the collapse of most of the walls, leaving only a forlorn fi nger of stone pointing skywards to mark the spot. Although designed solely as a “folly” and viewpoint, a remarkable building that stood on the spot for 220 years has met an Scene of desolation: the once elegant folly, Gartincaber ignominious end; it will be missed by many. Tower, fallen victim to neglect. Colin Graham Woodlane Has Spring in its Step Ali Hutchison was delighted to be invited to write another review of the Woodlane Fashion Show, held in late March, an evening now considered to be a staple of the Doune calendar. -
