  • A NEW MUCKLE ASH for BALMORE in December 1994
    A NEW MUCKLE ASH FOR BALMORE In December 1994, flooding of the River Kelvin severely damaged many low-lying areas of its valley, including Balmore in the parish of Baldernock. This small rural parish lies north of Glasgow, between the large urban areas of Milngavie and Kirkintilloch. Numerous homes had to be evacuated, and their restoration lasted over six months. The people of Baldernock commemorated this devastating event by planting an ash tree near the high-water mark of the flood at Acredyke, beside the main road west of Balmore. The project was led by Baldernock Community Council and supported by the local council, the Kelvin Valley Countryside Project, and the Scottish Wildlife Trust. An ash was chosen because of a famous local predecessor of the mid-19th century, the ‘Muckle Ash of Balmore’. This was reputedly one of the finest trees in the west of Scotland, and was much admired and visited until it was felled in the 1850s to provide timber for the coach-building trade – described at the time as ‘tree murder’. Local resident Magnus Magnusson planted the new ‘Muckle Ash’, with the assistance of Baldernock Primary School pupils, in March 1996. The ceremony was followed by a reception at which Magnus gave a moving speech, and he likened the Muckle Ash to the mythical Nordic tree Yggdrasil. Although the flood was an important event in local history, few residents now appreciate the significance of the tree. Therefore, the twentieth anniversary of the planting was marked in April 2016 by the commissioning of a large memorial stone, carved with a text to commemorate the great flood and explain the tree’s purpose.

In order to avoid any further promulgation of EDC errors it was agreed only to list new items and to refer readers to the EDC Web site for details. The secretary has had responses from EDC Planning to our submissions re. screening the new offices at Stent foundations and from Rangers FC about their floodlights. We are to take note of when the lights are on after 10 p.m. or when the pitches are not in use and to get back to them with these details. Further to an insubstantial response from EDC Roads about the potholes, pavements and flooding up Craigmaddie it was agreed that we should photograph the details of our complaints and send them to EDC roads. Mark led a vote of thanks to those who turned out on our clean up day to litter pick the Linn, Bardowie and Balmore, and to Councillor Anne for all her work to set up facilities. 3.

  • Homes Near Top Scottish Schools Command £73K Price Premium
    NOT FOR BROADCAST OR PUBLICATION BEFORE SATURDAY 1 SEPTEMBER 2018 HOMES NEAR TOP SCOTTISH SCHOOLS COMMAND £73K PRICE PREMIUM Parents pay a premium of almost £73,000 (36%) on average compared to average house prices across Scotland Average property prices have reached £277,134 near Scotland’s top 20 state secondary schools Parents need to pay an average of £72,973 more to live in the catchment area of a top performing state secondary school in Scotland, according to new research from Bank of Scotland showing that average prices in these areas have now reached £277,134. Home buyers are paying, on average, a premium of over a third (36%) when compared to houses in surrounding areas (£204,162). This is a significantly higher premium than last year, when the top 20 Scottish state schools were commanding a comparatively smaller premium of £41,441 on average or 22% more than other properties within the same local authority. This difference is due to a change in the mix of schools in the top 20 in the past year – with a number of new schools in relatively more expensive areas in the latest survey. New entrants such as Hyndland Secondary School in Glasgow and James Gillespie's High School in Edinburgh have driven up the average premium costing an average of 76% and 69% respectively than other homes in the same local authorities – topping the table in first and second position as the most expensive school catchments. There are six new entrants to the top 20 schools this year, all of which fall within the top 10 most expensive school catchments.
