  • THE PINNING STONES Culture and Community in Aberdeenshire
    THE PINNING STONES Culture and community in Aberdeenshire When traditional rubble stone masonry walls were originally constructed it was common practice to use a variety of small stones, called pinnings, to make the larger stones secure in the wall. This gave rubble walls distinctively varied appearances across the country depend- ing upon what local practices and materials were used.

  • MINUTES of the MEETING on 6Th NOVEMBER, 2008 at LOGIE COLDSTONE SCHOOL
    MINUTES OF THE MEETING ON 6th NOVEMBER, 2008 AT LOGIE COLDSTONE SCHOOL PRESENT: Councillor Bruce Luffman, Simon Welfare (chairman), Evelyn Smith, 5 members of the public. APOLOGIES: Councillor Marcus Humphrey, Councillor Peter Argyle, Nigel Healey, Morag Wilson, Bill Gardner, Hugh Kelly. The Chairman opened the meeting by welcoming all present, and the Minutes of the previous meeting were approved. 1. Grampian Police P.C. Geddes and P.C. Barnard attended the meeting. P.C. Geddes reported 9 recent incidents of crime, including 1 case of theft, 1 of poaching, and 1 breach of the peace. Strong concern was expressed at the news that there had been 3 investigations under the Misuse of Drugs Act. 2. Tarland Report 3.1 Traffic calming: Following another complaint from a member of the public, the problem of vehicles speeding through the gate of Alastrean House near the church was discussed and concern was again expressed about the effectiveness of the calming measures proposed by the MacRobert Trust. Councillor Luffman said that an LED speed limit sign was due to be erected on Aberdeen Road near Knappieround. A similar sign at the Aboyne end of the village was not thought necessary. He had discussed other road safety measures with the Roads Manager of Aberdeenshire Council, and had suggested a build-out to slow traffic turning into the road between the Play Park and Cromar Cottages. He had also suggested a similar scheme at Strachan Cottages. The Roads Manager was investigating building a pavement on the corner going off to the Caravan Park. However, only the LED sign was provided for in this year’s budget.

  • Highland Place Names from West Aberdeenshire, Scotland Lillia De Vaux, Crampette Herault (Rebecca S
    Highland Place Names from West Aberdeenshire, Scotland Lillia de Vaux, Crampette Herault (Rebecca S. Johnson, 2019) Introduction This article consists of mostly Scots or Latinized Scots names compiled from Place Names from West Aberdeenshire [19]. This article includes Highland place names primarily dated to the 12th-17th centuries, with a few earlier forms. The names show influences from the underlying Gaelic, Pictish, English, or Latin. Place Names from West Aberdeenshire was written by James MacDonald and edited and published posthumously in 1899 by the New Spalding Club (an antiquarian society dedicated to the publication of texts concerning the history of Aberdeenshire). MacDonald relied heavily on 19th century transcriptions of charters and other sources rather than the primary sources. Thankfully, many of his sources are available online and do not appear to include obviously normalized spellings, except where noted in the comments. The place names are listed first by MacDonald's modern header forms, which include some editorial accents for pronunciation aids. Only places dated up to 1650 are listed below. In a few cases, an exact date was not given by MacDonald. If anything was not dated, or the text was unclear, the spellings and dates were verified using his or other sources when possible. If a date could not be determined, only forms using period spelling conventions and/or implied by the text to be period forms are included; these are marked as "not dated" in the raw data below. In several cases, MacDonald noted that a date was recorded using a 16th century hand. These have been dated as "16th C".
