  • Cambusbarron (Site #31)
    Site #31 Cambusbarron The Original 2017 Full-Length Chapter OutlandishScotland.com A Novel Holiday Travel Guidebook Outlandish Scotland Journey Cambusbarron Original 2017 Chapter 2 Cambusbarron: Site #31 Once a Contender for the Fraser’s Ridge Outlander Season FOUR Film Site We wrote this chapter (and published its entirety in the 2017 edition of the Outlandish Scotland Journey Part Four eBook) back when Cambusbarron’s Gillies Hill was a strong contender for Fraser’s Ridge—a long-term film site that would feature in Outlander’s Season Four: Drums of Autumn. In January of 2018 we learned that the plan to film in Cambusbarron had officially been abandoned. “The Outlander production team earlier sought permission to build [the Fraser’s Ridge] set in woods outside Cambusbarron, near Stirling. “However, this plan is no longer going ahead.” https://www.scotsman.com/news/outlander-cast-and-crew-return-to-fife-village-1-4669949 It is unclear whether the Outlander production team withdrew their request, or whether the Cambusbarron Community Council denied them permission to film in the area. Basically, it doesn’t matter. Cambusbarron is NOT an Outlander Season Four film site. To avoid renumbering all subsequent chapters, we replaced the original, full-length Cambusbarron chapter with a starkly abbreviated version in Outlandish Scotland Journey Part Four. Having spent weeks researching and writing it, however, we hated the idea of simply discarding it. So, we didn’t! Beginning on the next page, you’ll find this chapter’s original, 2017 manuscript. Outlandish Scotland Journey Cambusbarron Original 2017 Chapter 3 Cambusbarron: Site #31 Outlander Season FOUR Film Site—Maybe! [Internet-posted pic, ©unknown segment (enhanced)] This chapter is published as a “work in progress” because nothing has been filmed here—as of this writing.

  • Forth and Endrick News Tuesday, 19 June 2007
    Councillor Graham Lambie Forth and Endrick Ward Stirling Council Forth and Endrick News – Killearn - Wednesday, 21st September 2016 Arnprior Balfron Buchanan Buchlyvie Croftamie Drymen Fintry Gargunnock Killearn Kippen Strathblane Councillor Lambie Report New Waste Collection Service: There have been concerns raised about changes to waste and recycling collection policy. The new policy will see residents given 5 recycling boxes under the following collection timetable: 2 Week Collection: Brown Bin (Garden & Food Waste); Blue Bin (Plastic, Cans & Cartons); 4 Week Collection: Grey Bin (Non-Recyclables); Green Bin (Paper & Cardboard); Blue Bin Small (Glass) The service are keen to work with residents and CCs on this. For example with people living in flats sharing of bins will be a preference which should cut down on the number of bins. The service are also planning on running collections on a 7 day week basis – what time will this be – early Sunday mornings may not be appropriate. The service will be investing in new, rear loading collection vehicles which are easier to operate. It is important that residents and CCs make their views felt as I understand the revised service is due to be ‘live’ by September 2016. Update: At a meeting on Monday 19th Sept the only rural village that appeared to have the new bins was Doune?
