  • Radiocarbon Dating of the Crannogs of Loch Tay, Perthshire (Scotland)
    RADIOCARBON, Vol 49, Nr 2, 2007, ρ 673-684 © 2007 by the Arizona Board of Regents on behalf of the University of Arizona RADIOCARBON DATING OF THE CRANNOGS OF LOCH TAY, PERTHSHIRE (SCOTLAND) Τ Ν Dixon1 · G Τ Cook2 · B Andrian3 · L S Garety2 · N Russell2 · T Menard2 ABSTRACT. Crannogs are ancient artificial islands found in Scotland and Ireland, which typically had some sort of dwelling place constructed on them that served variously as farmers' homesteads, status symbols, refuges in times of trouble, hunting and fishing stations, etc. Substantial research has been carried out for similar sites in mainland Europe, which has demon- strated that they were lakeside settlements, mostly dating to the Neolithic period and not built over open water. In contrast, the Scottish and Irish sites were built in open water, clearly separate from the shore. In Perthshire, some prehistoric crannogs were originally timber-built roundhouses supported on piles or stilts driven into the loch bed. Today, these crannogs appear as tree- covered islands or remain hidden as submerged stony mounds. Until recently, there were few radiocarbon dates for these structures and so the sites appeared as a homogeneous group. Not only did this make it impossible to examine them in sub- groupings but it also inhibited research, as they did not fit into known periods or architecturally distinct sub-groups, except that they were surrounded by water. Recent work in Loch Tay has resulted in ,4C dating of the timber piles from 13 of the 18 crannogs in the loch, allowing them to be fitted into different classes.

  • The River Tay - Its Silvery Waters Forever Linked to the Picts and Scots of Clan Macnaughton
    THE RIVER TAY - ITS SILVERY WATERS FOREVER LINKED TO THE PICTS AND SCOTS OF CLAN MACNAUGHTON By James Macnaughton On a fine spring day back in the 1980’s three figures trudged steadily up the long climb from Glen Lochy towards their goal, the majestic peak of Ben Lui (3,708 ft.) The final arête, still deep in snow, became much more interesting as it narrowed with an overhanging cornice. Far below to the West could be seen the former Clan Macnaughton lands of Glen Fyne and Glen Shira and the two big Lochs - Fyne and Awe, the sites of Fraoch Eilean and Dunderave Castle. Pointing this out, James the father commented to his teenage sons Patrick and James, that maybe as they got older the history of the Clan would interest them as much as it did him. He told them that the land to the West was called Dalriada in ancient times, the Kingdom settled by the Scots from Ireland around 500AD, and that stretching to the East, beyond the impressively precipitous Eastern corrie of Ben Lui, was Breadalbane - or upland of Alba - part of the home of the Picts, four of whose Kings had been called Nechtan, and thus were our ancestors as Sons of Nechtan (Macnaughton). Although admiring the spectacular views, the lads were much more keen to reach the summit cairn and to stop for a sandwich and some hot coffee. Keeping his thoughts to himself to avoid boring the youngsters, and smiling as they yelled “Fraoch Eilean”! while hurtling down the scree slopes (at least they remembered something of the Clan history!), Macnaughton senior gazed down to the source of the mighty River Tay, Scotland’s biggest river, and, as he descended the mountain at a more measured pace than his sons, his thoughts turned to a consideration of the massive influence this ancient river must have had on all those who travelled along it or lived beside it over the millennia.

  • Contribution to Scoping an Upland Vision
    Response from Stirling Council – Planning Service – Planning and Policy Team Note:- These responses relates to the Stirling Local Development Plan area only, i.e. excluding that part of the administrative area of Stirling Council within the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park. In turn the SLDP covers two distinct geographical areas. The area to the north extends to 221 sq. km and comprises Glen Lochay and the shores, slopes and hills/plateau east of Glen Ogle and between Loch Tay and Loch Earn. The southern area extends to 825 sq. km and contains the City of Stirling, other towns and villages, the surrounding countryside and uplands. Where are the uplands? 1. What broad characteristics should we use to define the uplands? Some possible approaches are summarised in the annex to this note. With reference to the annex a definition based on land use or capability seems most appropriate, e.g. land lying above the limit of enclosed farmland. Within the Stirling LDP area the Council concurs the boundary is fairly obvious on the ground, and readily distinguishes, both visually and functionally, uplands from lowlands, including within the hills of the Central Belt that have prominent features of the southern part of the LDP area, (e.g. Western Ochils, Braes of Doune and Fintry, Gargunnock and Touch Hills) What benefits do the uplands provide to Scotland? 2. What are the key social, economic and environmental benefits that the uplands provide for Scotland? As set out in supporting information the Council concurs with the view that uplands are a nationally significant resource supporting an extensive range of economic activities (such as agriculture, forestry, tourism/recreation and renewable energy) that help sustain local community and economic vitality, especially in the northern part of the LDP area.
