The Knock of Alves forms the E. part of a narrow ridge a mile and a half in length to the N. of which the coastal plain extends for four miles to the shore of the Mor ay Firth at Hopeman. The Knock rises from the general level of the ridge to attain a height of 335 feet O.

The fort, which occupies the whole of the higher part of the Knock, is very ruinous; some parts of the defences lie in conifer plantations and others under thick heather and wh i n s , while a modern track, a monument, a mausoleum, ploughing and quarrying have also playeq their parts in the mutilation of the remains.

SOLD BY THE AGENTS FOR THE COURANT; AND BY ALL BOOKSELLERS. : ELGIN PRINTED AT THE COURANT OFFICE, PREFACE, Thu ''Morayshire Directory" is issued in the hope that it will be found satisfactorily comprehensive and reliably accurate, The greatest possible care has been taken in verifying every particular contained in it ; but, where names and details are so numerous, absolute accuracy is almost impossible. A few changes have taken place since the first sheets were printed, but, so far as is known, they are unimportant, It is believed the Directory now issued may be fully depended upon as a Book of Reference, and a Guide for the County of Moray and the Upper District of Banffshire, Giving names and information for each town arid parish so fully, which has never before been attempted in a Directory for any County in the JTorth of Scotland, has enlarged the present work to a size far beyond anticipation, and has involved much expense, labour, and loss of time. It is hoped, however, that the completeness and accuracy of the Book, on which its value depends, will explain and atone for a little delay in its appearance. It has become so large that it could not be sold at the figure first mentioned without loss of money to a large extent, The price has therefore been fixed at Two and Sixpence, in order, if possible, to cover outlays, Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2010 with funding from National Library of Scotland http://www.archive.org/details/blacksmorayshire1863dire INDEX.

Recommendation - Raise No Objection Ward : 20 Inverness South Development Category : Section 36 Application – Electricity Act 1989. Pre-determination Hearing : Not Required Reason referred to Committee : 5 or more objections. 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 The application is to facilitate an increased power output from the 20 turbine wind farm project previously granted planning permission, on appeal, within Moy Estate. It offers a potential 66MW of generating capacity, an increase from the potential 41MW generating capacity associated with the approved scheme. 1.2 The application was submitted to the Scottish Government for approval under Section 36 of the Electricity Act 1989. Should Ministers approve the development, it will carry deemed planning permission under Section 57(2) of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997. The Council is a consultee on the proposed development. Should the Council object to the development, Scottish Ministers will require to hold a Public Local Inquiry to consider the development before determining the application. 1.3 As the application is not significantly different to the earlier planning application, the supporting information relies upon the Environmental Statement (ES) prepared for the planning application. In a similar way this report seeks to focus on the key differences between the applications and to update Committee on changes to those policy/material considerations relevant to the applications to help the Committee determine its position on the consultation from the Scottish Government.

  • The Glen Kyllachy Granite and Its Bearing on the Nature of the Caledonian Orogeny in Scotland
    J. geol. Soc. London, Vol. 140, 1983, pp. 47-62, 4 figs., 3 tables. Printed in Northern Ireland The Glen Kyllachy Granite and its bearing on the nature of the Caledonian Orogeny in Scotland 0. van Breemen & M. A. J. Piasecki SUMMARY:The Tomatin (Findhorn) Granite in the NW GrampianHighlands has been separatedinto two distinct complexes: alate-tectonic Glen Kyllachy Granite (tectonically foliated) and a post-tectonic Findhorn Granite (flow foliated). For the Glen Kyllachy complex, Rb-Sr analyses of muscovites from the granite and from an associated suite of cross-foliated pegmatites yield an emplacement age of 443T:5 Ma. Whole-rock Rb-Sr data support field and textural evidence that the pegmatite and granite emplacement was late-tectonic to the last (F3) phase of Caledonian folding. Initial granite X7Sr/X6Srof 0.7176 supports field and geochemical evidence of derivationfrom upper crustal metasediments first metamorphosedduring the Grenville event. For the Findhorn Granite, concordant Rb-Sr and K-Ar mineral data establish an age of 413 2 5 Ma, and an initial *'SriX6Sr of c. 0.706 indicates a lower crustal and/or mantle source. Thisage and isotopiccontrast between these granites is characteristic of the whole Grampian region, in which a plutonic hiatus between c. 440 and 415Ma coincides with the peak of sedimentary accretion in the Southern Uplands, and may be explained in terms of the lack of hydrous materials passing down the associated subduction zone. Structural, metamorphic and radiometric evidence suggests (a) that the late-F3 Glen Kyllachy pegmatites are comparable with the 442 f 7 Ma old, syn-F3 pegmatites in the N Highlands- both pegmatite suites are situated in the axial zone of the metamorphic Caledonides displaced by the GreatGlen Fault; and (b) thatthe Caledonian, c.

  • 15. Cultural Heritage
    A9 Dualling Northern Section (Dalraddy to Inverness) A9 Dualling Tomatin to Moy Stage 3 Environmental Statement 15. Cultural Heritage 15.1. Introduction 15.1.1. This chapter presents the results of the cultural heritage assessment for the Proposed Scheme. The Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB Volume 11, Section 3, Part 2: HA208/07) identifies three specific areas of interest under the overarching aspect of cultural heritage: archaeological remains, historic buildings and historic landscapes. 15.1.2. Archaeological remains consider those materials created or modified by past human activities, which includes a wide range of visible and buried artefacts, field monuments, structures and landscape features. Built heritage considers architectural, designed or other structures with a significant historical value, such as listed buildings. The historic landscape concerns perceptions that emphasise evidence of the past and its significance in shaping the present landscape. 15.1.3. Within the context of the DMRB, a cultural heritage asset is considered to be an individual archaeological site or building, a monument or group of monuments, an historic building or group of buildings and/or historic landscape. 15.1.4. In relation to archaeological remains and historic buildings the assessments have generally focussed on known sites, features, buildings and structures or sites and areas identified as having archaeological potential within the study area. 15.1.5. In relation to historic landscapes, the assessment has focussed on historic landscape types and historic landscape units within the assessment study area where social and economic activity has served to shape the landscapes in which there is a discernible awareness of their evolution.

  • A Cordoned Urn Burial with Faience from 102 Findhorn, Moray
    Proc Soc Antiq Scot, 131 (2001), 101–128 A Cordoned Urn burial with faience from 102 Findhorn, Moray Ian A G Shepherd* & Alexandra N Shepherd† with contributions by A McDonald, F Powell, J A Sheridan & P Wilthew ABSTRACT This paper describes the discovery of a large Cordoned Urn containing the cremated remains of an adult female (aged between 18 and 25 years) and an infant either in the third trimester of pregnancy or newborn. The urn also contained 22 mostly fragmentary segmented beads and one star-shaped bead, all of faience. The urn had been inverted in a pit in a sand ridge and an additional deposit of pyre debris placed over the upper fill of the pit. This deposit contained two faience beads, one star- shaped and incomplete, the other quoit-shaped, and a small chunk of grey flint. The urn is very similar to one found on the adjacent Culbin Sands in the 19th century and the beads can also be paralleled there. A radiocarbon determination of 3410±50 (OxA-7622, which calibrates to 1880–1520 cal ) has been obtained from charcoal from the pyre debris. This is the largest single find of faience in Britain and Ireland, and the only example of segmented, quoit and star-shaped beads being found together. INTRODUCTION The burial described in this paper was revealed as a result of site preparation for the building of an extension at no 102 Findhorn, a house in the small village of that name at the mouth of the River Findhorn in Moray (illus 1). The village occupies the sand ridge that forms the east side of the present estuary of the river.
