    Many of the remaining articles consider the effect of analogy on the form ofplace-names and are of particular interest to place-name scholars but readers from other academic disciplines would also find translation rewarding. There are summaries at the end ofeach article in either English or, less frequently ~ German ~ to assist the reader. The volume, and the series ofwhich it is a part, is to be warmly recommended. Doreen Waugh A Salmon for the Schoolhouse - A Nairnshire Parish in the Nineteenth Century, edited by John Love and Brenda McMullen, Canongate Press (Edinburgh, 1994), 1St pp., 13 b/w plates, £8.99 pbk. This book is No. 3 in Sources ofLocal History, a series ofstudies sponsored by the European Ethnological Research Centre and is the edited nineteenth-century diaries of Robert and Elsie Thomson. Robert seems to have kept a diary from his early days~ but Elsie only started hers in 1882 and this complements her husband's account ofschool, kirk and family life in the rural hinterland of Nairn. Ardclach parish was certainly rural, but it was no backwater, and was neither isolated from nor ignorant of happenings in the wider world. Some years before Robert Thomson was appointed as dominie at Ardclach, the clear pure voice of Jenny Lind~ the Swedish nightingale, had been heard in the little kirk, accompanying the precentor as he led the congregation in their Sabbath praise. There were visitors from Canada and Australia and the local newspapers then carried national and international news. Robert came from Aberdeen and taught at Cawdor before being appointed to the state or public school at Ardclach in 1874.

    THE MORAY COUNCIL DIRECT SERVICES - ROADS MAINTENANCE WINTER SERVICE OPERATIONAL PLAN Operational Plan Part 1 - Policy 1.1 General Statement of Policy 1.1.1 The Council has a statutory duty to comply with the requirements of the Roads Scotland Act 1984 which states that “a roads authority shall take such steps as they consider reasonable to prevent snow and ice endangering the safe passage of pedestrians and vehicles over public roads”. 1.1.2 Reference is made to the meeting of the Environmental Services Committee of 27th October 2004 which approved the Council’s Winter Service policy as set out in the Winter Maintenance Operational Plan. This document is subject to an annual review at Officer level. 1.1.3 The National Code of Practice for Roads Maintenance published by the Institution of Highways and Transportation (July 2001) advises all local authorities to establish and publish clear policies and operational plans defining the extent of the winter service. 1.1.4 The code also advises that the policy and operational plan is widely known and understood, especially by road users. To meet this requirement it is proposed that copies of the plan are made available in main public libraries and Council Access Points. In addition, winter maintenance leaflets are available to the public throughout Moray. 1.1.5 In the light of continuing changes and development in the treatment of winter conditions and changes to, and expansion of the road network, it is essential that the policy is updated in accordance with the recommendations of the Code of Practice.
