THE PINNING STONES Culture and Community in Aberdeenshire
THE PINNING STONES Culture and community in Aberdeenshire When traditional rubble stone masonry walls were originally constructed it was common practice to use a variety of small stones, called pinnings, to make the larger stones secure in the wall. This gave rubble walls distinctively varied appearances across the country depend- ing upon what local practices and materials were used.

TBC Tarves and Barthol Chapel
Tarves and Barthol Chapel Quarterly Newsletter TBC March 2021 Issue 56 www.tolquhon-gallery.co.uk 2 Hello everyone Welcome to this online edition of the March 2021 TBC newsletter. Under present Covid-19 health/safety circumstances, we can’t unfortunately print and deliver as usual, but hope you’ll take the time to read it in a different way. All going well, our youngest age groups of village children will be back at school/nursery on Mon- day 22 February for more than the standard practice of education. There are old friendships to renew and new friendships to create, games times, assembly times, break times and school lunch hour, all of which provide the time to redevelop what they have missed over the periods of lock- down. We as adults, know what it feels like to maintain our friendships through phone calls, WhatsApp, Zoom and the ultimate ‘write a letter to a friend’. Children are sociable little souls, if there is someone in the playpark they’ll play together, and only at the end of playtime will they find out each other’s names. It’s been a pleasure to be out in the village and see children making the most of daylight and playtime – and a well done to the parents for taking them and waiting in the frequently cold days just so they could be outside burning off unspent energy. I have 2 grandsons who live in the East Midlands and both miss school and friendships hugely My contact with them is via Royal Mail and Zoom – now this is where children’s IT skills show me up. -
