Jacobite rebellions, more peaceful times arrived with the first road built in 1750 opening Glenshee up to the outside world. Unfortunately this period was soon shattered as new enclosed farming methods and sheep were introduced with many families evicted from their Dalnaglar Castle ancestral lands.

No: 11/01117/FLL Ward No: 4 - Highland Summary This report recommends approval of the application for the erection of 12 affordable flats as the revised design and scale of the building is considered to relate well with the surrounding features of the Conservation Area and the proposal is considered to comply with the provisions of the Development Plan. This proposal is considered to address the reasons for refusal of the previous application (11/00023/FLL). BACKGROUND AND DESCRIPTION 1 Full planning consent is sought for the erection of 12 affordable flats at the site of a former Perth and Kinross Council building at Dalchanpaig on Rie- Achan Road in Pitlochry. The application site is located within Pitlochry Conservation Area. The application site is owned by Perth and Kinross Council and as such there is a requirement for this application to be referred to the Development Control Committee. This application is a follow up to a previous refusal (11/00023/FLL). That application was refused at the Development Control Committee on 13 April 2011. The grounds for refusal included the design, materials and detrimental impact on the visual amenity and the failure to protect or enhance the Conservation Area. 2. The application site is situated on Rie-Achan Road which sits to the south of Atholl Road, the main road through Pitlochry.

  • The Cistercian Abbey of Coupar Angus, C.1164-C.1560
    1 The Cistercian Abbey of Coupar Angus, c.1164-c.1560 Victoria Anne Hodgson University of Stirling Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2016 2 3 Abstract This thesis is an examination of the Cistercian abbey of Coupar Angus, c.1164-c.1560, and its place within Scottish society. The subject of medieval monasticism in Scotland has received limited scholarly attention and Coupar itself has been almost completely overlooked, despite the fact that the abbey possesses one of the best sets of surviving sources of any Scottish religious house. Moreover, in recent years, long-held assumptions about the Cistercian Order have been challenged and the validity of Order-wide generalisations disputed. Historians have therefore highlighted the importance of dedicated studies of individual houses and the need to incorporate the experience of abbeys on the European ‘periphery’ into the overall narrative. This thesis considers the history of Coupar in terms of three broadly thematic areas. The first chapter focuses on the nature of the abbey’s landholding and prosecution of resources, as well as the monks’ burghal presence and involvement in trade. The second investigates the ways in which the house interacted with wider society outside of its role as landowner, particularly within the context of lay piety, patronage and its intercessory function. The final chapter is concerned with a more strictly ecclesiastical setting and is divided into two parts. The first considers the abbey within the configuration of the Scottish secular church with regards to parishes, churches and chapels. The second investigates the strength of Cistercian networks, both domestic and international.

At The Cross 12 till 12.45 ‘straight from the shore to your door’ CANdo July/August 2019 Editorial The other day I came across an interesting statistic, which you may have read in the local and national press. Apparently, Coupar Angus is one of the healthiest of places to live in the UK. It came eighth in a list of the top ten. You may view this with some scepticism - why not in the top three? Or with surprise that our town is mentioned at all. Further investigation revealed how the list was compiled. It comes from Liverpool University and the Consumer Data Research Centre. This body selected various criteria and applied them to towns and villages across the country. These criteria included access to health services - mainly GPs and dentists - air/environmental quality, green spaces, amenities and leisure facilities. With its Butterybank community woodland, park and blue spaces like the Burn, Coupar Angus did well in this analysis. If you are fit and healthy you may be gratified by this result. If however you are less fortunate, this particular league table will have less appeal. But it is salutary to learn that your home town has many advantages.

The walk starts and finishes at the historic ruin of the Church of St Mary in Kincardine O’Neil, the oldest village on Deeside. The present structure dates back to the 14thC but it is believed to have been a place of Christian worship from the 6thC. This walking route takes in a number of old roads, starting with Gallowhill Road, its purpose deriving from Medieval times when every feudal baron was required to erect a gibbet (gallows) for the execution of male criminals, and sink a well or pit, for the drowning of females! Soon after, the route follows a short section of the Old Deeside Road, now a farm track, which dates to before the great agricultural improvements that started in the 1700's.

  • ANNEX C: SITE BRIEF: South of Devil's Elbow Glenshee, A93
    ANNEX C: SITE BRIEF: South of Devil’s Elbow Glenshee, A93, Cairngorms National Park Location The lay-by is located on A93 north of Spittal of Glenshee, Grid Reference NO140757 See attached Map 1. The site is within the Cairngorms National Park some 3 km south of Glenshee Ski Centre. Perth and Kinross Council is the roads authority. Ownership The land is owned by Invercauld Estate Background The A93 forms part of the Deeside Tourist Route which runs from Perth to Aberdeen via Blairgowrie, Braemar, and Ballater. This route is the main access from the south to the Glenshee Ski Area. As one of the classic Scottish ‘snow roads’ the A93 is often sought out as a test piece by cyclists, motor cyclists and classic car drivers: it is a well published option on the Lands End to John o’ Groats route. It forms the main link road between Deeside and Perthshire. This lay-by is well used by hill walkers wanting to access the four Munros west of Glenshee including Glas Maol 1068m. The current lay-by appears to have been formed as a result of realigning the road. Upgrading the lay-by has been an aspiration of the community for a number of years and it is a specific action in the Mount Blair Community Action Plan. Interpretation and Information Glenshee takes its name from the Gaelic word shith, signifying ‘fairies’. Until the old tongue died out in the late 1800’s the inhabitants were known as Sithichean a’ Ghlinnshith - ‘The Elves of Glenshee’. The road has been important for centuries as a route through the mountains.
