Newsletter November 2011.Cdr NMOR U E D V Dunmore Newsletter I L N L IO Issue:2 November 2011 A T G IA E ASSOC Barn Ceilidh The Barn Ceilidh attracted a large attendance and was a very successful event. Entertained by “Scotlands Minstrel” Alastair McDonald, a touch of nostalgia was brought to the evening with songs of yesteryear including Alastairs signature song “Sam the Skull” recorded in the 70's. The popularity of Ewan Archibalds Ceilidh Band was evident by the ever growing number of dancers taking to the floor. What seemed a never ending list of raffle prizes were drawn by Jack Pryde of Dunfermline Tours and Lilian Watson. The prizes were very varied with the most unusual being a trip for two in a light aircraft. A well stocked bar with friendly staff combined with an extremely generous buffet topped off the evening with many asking about future events. A great deal of work went into organising the event, not least the Health & Safety, Risk Assessment and Licensing aspects and our thanks go to Billy Pitt and his team for their work in ensuring the evening was a success. Sponsorships We were fortunate indeed to have received sponsorships from so many businesses and organisations and thank all those who gave support.

  • The Feudal Land Divisions of Denny and Dunipace Part 1
    Calatria Summer 1995 No. 8 The Feudal Land Divisions of Denny and Dunipace Part 1 John Reid From the earliest records for Denny and Dunipace, we find that the area had three distinct divisions: Herbertshire, Temple-Denny and Torwood. Herbertshire comprised a significantly greater area than the other two and, in the later feudal period, came to be further divided with the creation of lesser estates such as Dunipace-Livingston and Little Denovan. Each of the major divisions is discussed here. As we should expect, these in turn had numerous subdivisions and they will be the subject of part 2. The Parishes of Denny and Dunipace CONTENTS (click links to read) The Ancient Barony of Dunipace or Herbertshire The Barony of Denny or Temple Denny The Barony of Torwood Falkirk Local History Society Page 1 Calatria Summer 1995 No. 8 THE ANCIENT BARONY OF DUNIPACE OR HERBERTSHIRE The Barony of Herbertshire The records of the area which we know today as the parishes of Denny and Dunipace reach no further back than the twelfth century. Then, probably all of the parish of Denny and certainly the greater part of the parish of Dunipace comprised a tract of land which in the earliest documents is named “the lands of Dunipace” and, some time later, “the barony of Dunipace” but which by the middle of the fourteenth century came to be known as the “barony of Herbertshire”. Much later, as we shall see, a significant part which lay in the parish of Denny took the name of South Herbertshire. The remainder of the parish of Denny came into the hands of one of the orders of mediaeval knights at some time prior to the fourteenth century and was known as the Barony of Denny or Temple-Denny.1 Lying in the north-west of Falkirk District, Herbertshire was the second-largest of the baronies in East Stirlingshire.

  • Stirling County Building Warrants
    Falkirk Archives (Archon Code: GB558) FALKIRK ARCHIVES Local authority records Stirling County Council Building Warrants Finding Aid Administrative History The origins of building standards were in the Dean of Guild Courts of the medieval Royal Burghs. Their powers to hear offences against neighbourliness gradually evolved into modern planning and building control regulations. From 1862 Town Councils were permitted to set up Dean of Guild Courts and from 1892 all town councils were required to set up Dean of Guild Courts. The Dean of Guild Courts had powers to impose conditions relating to public health under the 1862 Police Act. County Councils had similar powers from 1889. Scope and Contents Building warrant files, building warrant application registers and annotated Ordnance Survey maps, for the geographical area formerly administered by Stirling County Council and now administered by Falkirk Council. Building warrant files contain the plans, petitions (ie applications), completions certificates, correspondence and related papers submitted to the local authority for permission to build or to make structural alterations to domestic and public buildings under successive building control and building standards legislation. The Registers provide a summary list of applications and their outcome. Arrangement Stirling County Council building warrants from c 1900-1964 were separated into geographical areas and this order has been maintained. The red area covers the south and east of the former County of Stirling, including Shieldhill, Polmont and the Braes. The yellow area covers the areas around Bonnybridge, Denny and Dunipace. The blue area covers Airth, Larbert and Stenhousemuir. However it should be noted that some building warrant files were put into the “wrong” colour-coded area and there has been no attempt to correct this.
