The Steading dates from the late 18th or very early 19th century and has seen some alterations throughout its use, but with some of the original features being intact.

INTRODUCTION A desk-based assessment and Photographic Survey was carried out by the author for Colin Armstrong Associates on behalf of Slioch Ltd required as part of a planning application. The proposed development site is an existing building located at Wester Drakies, Culcabock, Inverness. The work was required as part of planning condition no.13 by Highland Council Planning Department (ref. 08/00255/FULIN) which stated: Prior to the commencement of development a photographic record shall be made of the remains of the old buildings and / or other features affected by the proposed development, in accordance with the attached specification, and thereafter be submitted to the Planning Authority. No site clearance work shall take place until confirmation in writing has been received from the Planning Authority that the record made has been lodged and is satisfactory. Reason: To protect the historic interest of the site. 2. BACKGROUND The steading is located directly north of the existing public road, off Thistle Road, Culcabock. The former farmhouse of Wester Drakies has been completely modernised and is now 2 houses. The Steading is in a poor condition. Drakies House is depicted on Roy’s Military map of 1745-55 and on John Thomson’s map of Inverness of 1830. Neither indicates the farm. Both House and Farm are not marked on John Home’s map of Inverness of 1774 or John Wood’s map of Inverness of 1822. The farm is depicted on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey (published 1871, surveyed 1868) (see figure 3) as a U-shaped roofed building with farmhouse to E. Ground to N is marked as woodland. By the 2nd edition OS map of 1904 (revised 1902-3) (see figure 4) the farm is unchanged, though a small structure is depicted in the courtyard. By the 3rd edition OS of 1930 (revised 1929) (see figure 5) the farm has seen a number of changes. Two structures are shown to the E side of the courtyard, whilst a structure has been added to the NW corner. A number of small structures have been built to the N of the steading. Part of the woodland to the N is gone and shown as open ground. To the W is a gravel pit. By the OS map of 1972 (revised c1969-71) (see figure 6) The buildings of the steadings are the same, whilst the structures to the N have been removed and replaced with a larger building, with small structures to the E and a structure to the NE. The gravel pit to the W is gone. The latest site plan (see figure 2) shows only the structure to the NW and a partial structure to the N. 8 Stuart Farrell – Wester Drakies Steading, Culcabock, Inverness. The farm is listed in the Census Record’s for the parish of Inverness from 1851 to 1871 (not listed in 1841, but may have been included under Drakies) with occupiers as follows: 1841 Census – Not listed. 1851 Census – Wester Drakies Duncan Garden Head 34 Farmer of 70 acres employing 2 labourers Madeline Garden Wife 33 Wife John Garden Son 8 Scholar Donald Garden Son 5 Scholar David Garden Son 2 Duncan Garden Son 1 Peter Chisholm Servant 22 Ploughman Andrew Josse Servant 18 Ploughman Ann Ross Servant 25 House Servant Margaret Mckenzie Servant 20 House Servant 1861 Census – Wester Drakies James Fraser Head 55 Farmer of 60 acres Mary Fraser Wife 53 Wife Duncan Fraser Son 17 Simon Fraser Son 15 Margaret McKenzie Servant 18 Domestic Servant Christy McGillioney Servant 16 Domestic Servant 1871 Census- Wester Drakies James Fraser Head 64 Farmer of 35 acres arable Mary Fraser Wife 62 Wife Duncan Fraser Son 27 Simon Fraser Son 25 Betsy Arant Servant 39 Domestic Servant Jessie Fraser Servant 12 Domestic Servant John MacDonald Servant 27 Shepherd Jessie MacKinzie Servant 23 Domestic Servant Wester Drakies not listed in 1881 to 1901 census.

  • How Board Could Meet Savings Target a BROAD Outline of How NHS Lion Were Required
    THE NHS HIGHLAND STAFF NEWSPAPER June 2016 HighNOVEMBERlights 2015 LONELINESS Four pupils of Drakies Primary School, Inverness, provided the highlight of the most recent meeting of NHS Highland’s board, when they gave a talk on the school’s recently launched community café and on how it is helping to address the wider issue of loneliness and social isolation. The pupils, who were accompanied by headteacher Michelle Taylor, were asked to give the presentation after the school’s participation in the launch of NHS Highland’s ‘Reach Out’ campaign, which is encouraging people to “make a difference for someone who’s lonely”. As well as giving a short speech, the pupils an- swered questions by members of the board, and also asked questions about the Reach Out campaign. For more on Reach Out, see pages 6 and 7.

  • Applicant Has Sought Planning Permission in Principal for a Total of 24 Residential Units Under a Separate Application (19/00982/FUL)
    Agenda Item 6.9 Report No PLS/097/19 HIGHLAND COUNCIL Committee: South Planning Applications Committee Date: 04 December 2019 Report Title: 19/00982/FUL: Mr R Matheson Land 35M East Of 38 Old Perth Road Inverness Report By: Area Planning Manager – South Purpose/Executive Summary Description: Formation of access road to serve residential development comprising 24 dwellings Ward: 16 – Inverness Millburn Development category: Local Reason referred to Committee: Objection from Community Council and 5 or more timeous objections from separate addresses Recommendation Members are asked to agree the recommendation to Grant planning permission as set out in section 11 of the report. 1. PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT 1.1 The application seeks planning permission for an access road to residential development. The applicant has sought planning permission in principal for a total of 24 residential units under a separate application (19/00982/FUL). 1.2 Access to the site is proposed from Old Perth Road with a new junction formed by realigning and relocating an existing access. 1.3 The Service is not aware of the applicant having undertaken any public consultation. The applicant has not approached the Service for pre-application advice via the pre-application advice service. A party understood to be acting on behalf of the applicant approached the Service for clarification following the withdrawal of the previous application (18/02818/FUL) for the same proposal. In response officers provided advice on the potential access to the site, which noted: Anticipated Access - The optimum access is through the Raigmore Motel site but would likely require its demolition (and partial redevelopment) and is in a separate ownership, hence the mixed use allocation.
