  • The Hillforts of Strathdon: 2004-2010
    The Hillforts of Strathdon: 2004-2010 Murray Cook Having worked across Scotland and Northern England for the last 15 years I can say without hesitation that projects with Ian in Aberdeenshire always filled me with joy and renewed passion and enthusiasm for archaeology: without him this project would not have taken place. Introduction In ‘ In the Shadow of Bennachie’ the RCAHMS survey of the Strathdon area, the hillforts (throughout the paper ‘hillfort’ is used as shorthand to describe an enclosure whether on a hill or not) of the area were classified into a six-fold scheme, according to size and defensive system recorded (RCAHMS 2007, 100-1). Of course, the information was gathered through non-invasive survey, and it is unclear how these classes related to each other, as their dates were unknown. Using the same criteria of size and defensive system, albeit with a larger data set Ralston ( et al 1983) proposed a different classification as did Feachem a generation earlier (1966). These conflicting classifications illustrate the essentially limited value of such attempts: without hard data they remain talking points to be reinterpreted once a generation. In order to further the debate - hard dating evidence from physical excavation is needed. In what some have described as naïve, The Hillforts of Strathdon Project was set up in an attempt to characterise and date the type-sites of the area, through a programme of key- hole excavation on the variety of enclosures in the area. After six seasons of excavations on nine enclosures with local volunteers and students, this paper briefly summarises the key results in chronological order and the general conclusions.

  • Record Breaker
    Viewpoint Record breaker Time: 15 mins Region: Scotland Landscape: rural Location: Bridge over Clunie Water, Invercauld Road, Braemar, Aberdeenshire, AB35 5YP Grid reference: NO 15103 91384 Keep an eye out for: Snow on the hills above – it should be visible from late October until early May with the right weather conditions With a population of less than a thousand, the small village of Braemar on the edge of the Scottish Highlands in rural Aberdeenshire isn’t the sort of place you would imagine making too many headlines or breaking many records. But every few years, Braemar finds itself front-page news in several national newspapers. What makes Braemar in Aberdeenshire such a record breaker? The answer is that great British obsession - the weather. Braemar holds the record for the lowest ever UK temperature – it has reached - 27.2 °C twice, in 1895 and 1982. Whenever cold weather is predicted, meteorologists turn their attention to the weather station here at Braemar, as it’s usually colder than any other lowland station. But it’s not just cold temperatures that have made Braemar a record breaker. On 30th September 2015 it registered as one of the warmest places in the UK recording an unseasonably warm temperature of 24.0 °C. Yet the same day it was also the coldest place in the UK at -1.3 °C. The very next day (October 1st) it was again the coldest and warmest place meaning that for the two months in a row, Braemar recorded the warmest AND coldest monthly temperatures for the UK! So how can we explain this strange phenomenon? The reason is down to its geography.

  • Issues Raised in Response to the Proposed Local Development Plan and Proposed Submission to Scottish Ministers Appendix 2 Settlement Comments
    ISSUES RAISED IN RESPONSE TO THE PROPOSED LOCAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND PROPOSED SUBMISSION TO SCOTTISH MINISTERS APPENDIX 2 SETTLEMENT COMMENTS Shaping Buchan – Summary of Schedule 4s Minor technical changes are also proposed to improve the accuracy of information now provided by Scottish Water and SEPA (see Schedule 4 7908). “Schedule 4” documents (so named because of the requirement to follow the form specified by Schedule 4 of the relevant Regulations) have not been produced for those settlements where there have been no representations. Ardallie Main objections raised in representation Number of planned units on site OP1 should be reduced to take into account already submitted proposals. Development of site OP1 should include road upgrades. Response by Planning Authority The approved houses on site OP1 would take up part of the allocation, and no change is required. Upgrading the existing road to an adoptable standard is already required by the development brief. The section of private road heading east from site OP1 is not required to link the site to the public road network so it is not appropriate to require its upgrading. Minor technical change Remove the settlement boundary annotation (which only covers the allocated, protected and reserved sites), for consistency. Auchnagatt Main objections raised in representation Amend OP2 reference to strategic landscaping or extend site OP2 further south to the minor watercourse, so that strategic landscaping can be implemented outwith the allocated area. Response by Planning Authority The reference to strategic landscaping is only a recommendation – the most appropriate position and nature of strategic landscaping would be determined at the planning application stage.
