The event is located at a fishery with a series of ponds with stepped banks. Event facilities will be placed away from the waterfront, however, please keep clear of the water edge. There may be some fishermen on the lochs, who should be kept clear off due to the danger of line casting.. Responsible seniors must supervise children, particularly if they are likely to be in the proximity of the water. Cagoules may be compulsory for competitors, in which case signs will be displayed at Information. Competitors are advised to carry a whistle. If temperatures are higher than average, there may be a risk of dehydration. No water will be provided; please bring your own. Note you will get wet feet on all courses. There are some fences to cross, shorter courses will have marked crossing points, where these are available please use them. Hygiene: Deer and livestock roam the event area and their droppings may contain serious diseases, including e-coli, so please wash hands, especially before eating. Please be TICK AWARE and check yourself thoroughly after your run for ticks. If you are unsure how to remove a tick safely then please visit the first aid tent. If you have an underlying medical condition, please email the Organiser ([email protected]) by Thursday 17th May with the relevant details and next of kin contact details. These details will be kept confidential/for emergency use only and destroyed after the event. Alternatively, please download and complete a form from www.britishorienteering.org.uk/handbook_safety and hand to Information, where there will also be a supply of forms. These will be destroyed after the event if not used. If you think you will take a long time, please ask for an early start time. There will be a box for car keys at Information. Solo travellers: there will also be forms/envelopes for your use to help us identify your car should you be late back, please use them. Protests & Complaints There is a procedure which all competitors should follow if they feel that the Rules are not being followed. Any complaint should initially be discussed with the Event Organiser, using the Complaints/Protests form: complaint protest form Sept2014.pdf available from Enquiries. However, any approach should bear in mind that Event Officials are volunteers who have given up their valuable time to lay on the event, often under circumstances which are not ideal. If the complaint is not resolved satisfactorily then a protest can be lodged with the Controller. The Controller will then, if necessary, convene a Jury. Registration/Information Registration will be in the Assembly field, and will be open from 10:00 to 14:00 for dibber hire, entry on the day, information, and issue of White and Yellow course maps, and thereafter for Information only. There will be a SIAC battery check unit near Registration. Note that the last start time for White and Yellow courses is 14:00; you will need ten minutes to get to the start. Shadowing Shadowing is permitted on the White and Yellow courses, but the junior must declare as Non-Competitive.

It is due to the Public to state that, in order to procure informa- tion for the " City " portion of this Directory, from Five to Six Thousand Schedules were issued, for the purpose of being filled up by the Inhabitants. In transcribing these Schedules, the utmost care was taken to preserve the exact address and orthography of Name which had been given; and, still farther to preserve the accuracy of the Work, the ' whole of the Names, after they had been put into type, were again, at a large sacrifice of time, care- fully compared, one by one, with the original Schedules. The " County " Directory, which forms an important part of the Work, has been made up from returns furnished, in almost every instance, by the Schoolmasters of the respective Parishes. To the Gentlemen who have thus so kindly assisted him, the Publisher gladly embraces the present opportunity of returning his most grateful thanks. The short delay which has occurred in getting the Work issued, has been as much a disappointment to the Publisher as it can have been to his Subscribers. To those of them, however, who may have been incommoded by the delay, he begs to offer a respectful apology, and to assure them that, from the complicated and laborious nature of the Work, (this Directory being an entirely new compilation), the delay was found to be quite un- avoidable.

  • Clan Chatt An;
    AN ACCOUNT OF THE CONFEDERATION OF CLAN CHATT AN; ITS KITH AND KIN. PREPARED AT THE REQUEST OF THE CLAN ASSOCIATION IN GLASGOW. BY CHARLES FRASERaMACKINTOSH ' OF DRUMMOND, LL.D., F.S.A., SCOT. GLASGO\V: JOHX :\I.ACK.A Y, " CELTIC :\IO~THLY" OFFICE, 9 BLYTHS\VOOD DRIVE. FREFACE. HIS book has been undertaken by request of the active and zealous T Clan Chattan Association in Glasgow, who, having given the name, accept the responsibility, and therefore relieve me from the animadversions of some critics, who object to the term " Minor'' Septs of Clan Chattan. Thus, though not bound to defend the name assigned, it is at least incumbent to say that no slur was, is, or can be intended. \Vhile the Clan Chattan had its head and leader, to whom all the 1ue1nbers gave obedience when it met as a whole; yet composed as it was of various tribes, with different surna1nes, it resulted that each tribe had its Chieftain, supreme over his own tribe, but subsidiary to the Captain, as a matter of prudence and policy. Clanship was necessarily, in its original form, elective and voluntary. If, after experience, the clan flourished under its elected Chief, there was naturally a disinclination to break off from the victorious leader, or his successors. Discussions, differences, and internal dissensions, more or less, became in time unavoidable, such dissensions being always fostered by jealous neighbours. Clan Chattan from and after 1292 flourished, and became such a power as to excite the determined and hereditary hostility of the Gordons, themselves Southern interlopers.
