Like other mosses, this wetland area supports a variety of plant and animal species, even though it has been subject to certain development and agricultural degradation pressures. For example, the Great Crested Newt was found here prior to the expansion of the town of Portlethen. Many acid loving vegetative species are found in Portlethen Moss, and the habitat is monitored by the Scottish Wildlife Trust. True heather, a common plant on the The Portlethen Moss is the location of considerable prehistoric, Portlethen Moss Middle Ages and seventeenth century history, largely due to a ridge through the bog which was the route of early travellers. By at least the Middle Ages this route was more formally constructed with raised stonework and called the Causey Mounth. Without this roadway, travel through the Portlethen Moss and several nearby bogs would have been impossible between Aberdeen and coastal points to the south.

By ALEX. BREMNER, M.A., D.Sc, F.R.S.E. (Read 17th January, 1917.) THIS paper is a contribution towards the solution of one of the problems in the glacial geology of north-east Scotland, mentioned in a paper published in our Transactions (vol. x. p. 334), viz., the relations in space and time of the ice that distributed the red clays from Strathmore along the coasts of Kincardineshire and Aberdeenshire with that which brought the Upper Grey Boulder Clay. The latter we shall speak of in this paper as the Dee Valley Ice : the former we may call as before the Strath­ more Ice. In addition the paper may be interesting per se as a contribu­ tion to the study of the surface geology of a district to the solid geology of part of which special attention has been called in recent years. The area dealt with is bounded by the sea and a line drawn due west from Portlethen village to the Dee watershed, following the Dee watershed to the gap between Monluth and South Dennetys and passing thence southward to the Bervie Water at Milton of Dillivaird, along the Bervie to Drumlithie, and from that point straight back to the coast at Dunnottar Castle.

    A Review of Bordered Brown Lacewing Megalomus Hirtus (Neuroptera: Hemerobiidae) Distribution in Scotland

    The Glasgow Naturalist (online 2020) Volume 27, Part 3 https://doi.org/10.37208/tgn27305 A review of bordered brown lacewing Megalomus hirtus (Neuroptera: Hemerobiidae) distribution in Scotland S. Burgess1 & N.A. Littlewood2 1Buglife, Balallan House, 24 Allan Park, Stirling FK8 2QG 2SRUC, Craibstone, Aberdeen AB21 9YA E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT In the U.K., the bordered brown lacewing (Megalomus hirtus) is associated with aphids and other insects on wood sage (Teucrium scorodonia) growing on rocky exposed slopes. The species is widely distributed across northern and central Europe. However, before 2019 it was recorded from only three sites in the U.K., all in Scotland, at Holyrood Park in Edinburgh, and at Muchalls and St. Cyrus, both in Aberdeenshire. Surveys in 2019 discovered the lacewing in a new area of Holyrood Park and at several new sites from Stonehaven to Portlethen village in Aberdeenshire. Only adults were recorded, and all were collected from wood sage. The surveys have also identified other areas and sites that should be visited to determine the distribution of the bordered brown lacewing in Scotland. INTRODUCTION The bordered brown lacewing Megalomus hirtus (L., 1761) (Fig 1.) is approximately 1 cm in length and Fig. 1. Bordered brown lacewing (Megalomus hirtus) adult can be identified by the wide costal space on both (length 1 cm) on wood sage (Teucrium scorodonia), Skatie forewings (Plant, 1997). Another key character used to Shore, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, 1st July 2019. identify this species is the five (sometimes six or seven) (Photo: S. Burgess) radial veins that branch from the humeral vein on both forewings.

    December 2019 Suzanne Burgess and Joanna Lindsay Saving the small things that run the planet Summary Of the 70 species of lacewing recorded in the United Kingdom, at least forty-one of them have been recorded in Scotland, with four only being recorded in Scotland. The Bordered brown lacewing (Megalomus hirtus) was previously known from only two sites in Scotland, at Salisbury’s Crags in Holyrood Park, Edinburgh and at Doonie Point by Bridge of Muchalls in Aberdeenshire. Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) provided funding to Buglife for year two of the Bordered Brown Lacewing project to run surveys and workshops to raise awareness and improve participant’s identification skills of the different species of lacewing and their allies (alderflies, scorpionflies and snake flies). With the help of volunteers, year two of the project successfully found twenty two adults of the Bordered brown lacewing. Two new areas were discovered at Holyrood Park at rocky outcrops close to St. Anthony’s Chapel and a new population was discovered at Skatie Shore and Perthumie Bay by Stonehaven. A further nine adults were found by Dr Nick Littlewood at six locations from the war memorial south of Stonehaven to Portlethen Village. A total of 264 records of 141 different species of invertebrate, including five species of lacewing, were recorded during surveys and workshops run through this project from six sites: Holyrood Park, in Edinburgh; Hermitage of Braid and Blackford Hill Local Nature Reserve in Edinburgh; Skatie Shore and Perthumie Bay by Stonehaven; Doonie Point by Bridge of Muchalls; St Cyrus National Nature Reserve near Montrose; and Drumpellier Park in North Lanarkshire.

For each LLCA the description includes location, topography, drainage, landuse, settlement, views, key characteristics, positive and negative attributes, designations, condition and scenic quality. Where an LLCA will be directly affected by the Fastlink proposals there is a statement of the landscape and visual aims with regard to mitigating the proposals. 1.1.2 The location of the Local Landscape Character Areas and landscape designations are shown on Figures 41.2a-b. 1.1.3 Photographs illustrating the characteristics of each Local Landscape Character Area are shown on Figures 41.4a-g. 1.1.4 In Table 41.1.15 the main elements of each LLCA, both directly and indirectly affected, are described and a judgement made of the value and susceptibility. The sensitivity of each element is then evaluated. 1.1.5 Both Landscape sensitivity and the magnitude of change are combined in Table A41.1.16. The framework given in Chapter 41 (Landscape), Table 41.4 was then used to help determine impact significance, taking into account mitigation proposals, for winter year of opening and in the summer after fifteen years. 1.2 Baseline Conditions 1.2.1 The LLCAs within the Fastlink Study Area are listed and described below in order of character type.

Part of the character is provided by the mix of older red granite bungalows with some newer two storey modern style houses. Arbuthnott is also home to the Grassic Gibbon Centre, which attracts visitors to the area. The B967 and Arbuthnott House Gardens and Designed Landscape to the south provides a natural buffer to development. This is not an issue for Arbuthnott as there is very limited development pressure. There is however, small opportunities for growth as the settlement is identified for organic growth. Natural and Historic Environment The Arbuthnott House Gardens and Designed Landscape are situated to the south of development on the southern side of the B967. There is also a scheduled monument of Arbuthnott House located to the south. Settlement Features Protected Land P1 To conserve the playing fields and play area as amenities for the village.

  • Appendix Kincardine and Mearns

    Appendix Kincardine and Mearns 1 In the delivery of the Local Development Plan (LDP2016) we are conscious that any proposal for new development within towns and villages is likely to be a local “main issues” even if it does not have the far reaching consequences of the 19 main issues reproduced in the bulk of the Main Issues Report. In addition we feel it appropriate to provide some information on the status of existing allocated sites in settlements so that communities can see exactly what stage development promoted by the LDP2012 might be at. 2 We have also engaged with Community Councils over what should be the “settlement objectives”. These are brief statements that try to capture what land use planning should try to deliver for individual settlements, whether supporting local services or providing opportunity for a specific item of strategic infrastructure such as a relief road. They represent a justification for any new allocations and guide development management decisions on the merits of development proposals. We have reproduced the settlement objectives from the Local Development Plan 2012 in this appendix, as modified by the advice we have received from Community Councils. 3 The settlement analysis also identifies “protected land”. This is land that was protected from future development because it has a specific value to the community. 4 Finally the analysis provides an evaluation of the development proposals that have been made to us for inclusion in the new plan. These are referred to as “officers’ preference” sites and “other options”. In the light of our conclusions on Main Issue 12 “land supply and distribution” there are no sites in Kincardine and Mearns that we would recommend are included in the new plan.
