  • Portlethen Moss - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia Page 1 of 4
    Portlethen Moss - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Page 1 of 4 Portlethen Moss NFrom, 2°8′50.68 Wikipedia,″W (http://kvaleberg.com/extensions/mapsources the free encyclopedia /index.php?params=57_3_27.04_N_2_8_50.68_W_region:GB) The Portlethen Moss is an acidic bog nature reserve in the coastal Grampian region in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. 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. Contents 1 History 2 Conservation status 3 Topography and meteorology 4 Evolution of Portlethen Moss 5 Vegetation 6 Relation to other mosses 7 References 8 See also History Prehistoric man inhabited the Portlethen Moss area as evidenced by well preserved Iron Age stone circles and other excavated artefacts nearby [1]. Obviously only the outcrops and ridge areas would have been habitable, but the desirability of primitive habitation would have been enhanced by proximity to the sea and natural defensive protection of the moss to impede intruders.

I. EDITORS PBEFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION. As the Eirst Edition of this work was evidently an object of much satisfaction to the Author, and as its authority has been recognised by its being used so freely by later writers, I have felt in preparing this Second Edition that I was acting under a weighty responsibility both to the public and to Mr. Jervise's memory. Many fields have presented themselves for independent research, but as the plan of the work and its limits belonged to the author and not to the editor, I did not feel justified in materially altering either of them.

  • The Burnett Banner, the House of Burnett Inc
    THE BU RNETT BAN NER B Burnett Newsletter Edition No 9 (including House of Burnett March 2010 BURNETT ART GALLERY There are a large number of talented artists amongst the Burnetts and it is the intention to include one or two Burnett works in each edition of the Banner. Since this has only been a very recent idea, I have had no time to seek contributions but I am using this opportunity to invite Burnetts to submit work to me for inclusion in future Banners. I have to point out the editor’s decision for inclusion is final and space will be limited. However, I welcome all contributions, regardless of the form of art, and would be grateful if they could be accompanied by the title of the work and the briefest of CV’s of the artist. For the opening of the Gallery, and for reasons that include appropriateness, I have selected a painting of Crathes which was given to me by the late Ruth Burnett Phillips who so sadly died recently and whose obituary is later in this edition of the Banner. The painting hangs beside my desk in my study. My wife, Fiona, took up painting only very recently and her first painting, The Dotty Mug, hangs in our kitchen at House of Crathes. Whilst there are professionals waiting in the wings for inclusions in future editions of the Banner, I also thought that it Crathes Castle would be nice to start this column with two The Dotty Mug Burnetts who have worked in art solely for their own pleasure.

  • A41.1 Landscape Area Descriptions, Sensitivity, Magnitude of Change and Impact Significance
    Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route Environmental Statement Appendices 2007 Part D: Fastlink Appendix A41.1 Landscape Area Descriptions, Sensitivity, Magnitude of Change and Impact Significance 1 Landscape Area Descriptions, Sensitivity, Magnitude of Change and Impact Significance 1.1 Introduction 1.1.1 This appendix sets out the baseline landscape character using Local Landscape Character Areas (LLCA) to describe the Fastlink Study Area. 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.

  • DIOCESAN DESCRIPTION Episcopal Election Profile - Diocese of Brechin
    THE DIOCESE OF BRECHIN Scottish Charity No SC016813 DIOCESAN DESCRIPTION Episcopal Election Profile - Diocese of Brechin The Diocesan Profile tells the story of a small and cohesive Diocese which has been making steady progress in addressing the challenges which face it. Valuable work has been done in drawing together the Diocesan family of clergy and people into a mission-focused family. There is new optimism and confidence about the future. The new Bishop of Brechin will become part of the College of Bishops of the Scottish Episcopal Church. We see this as a significant time in the life of our Church. Scottish society has become more secular and more open. This offers to the Scottish Episcopal Church the opportunity of building congregations and engaging with society in a way which was much more difficult in the past. We believe that this is a time of opportunity for us. We suffer the challenges which face all churches in dealing with lack of resources, particularly since the recent economic downturn. But we are a church rich in resources of faith, spirituality and devotion, with strengths in worship and in shared ministry and with the commitment of talented clergy and laity. I would be happy to meet with potential candidates who would like to discuss in more detail the challenges of this ministry. +David Bishop of St. Andrews, Dunkeld and Dunblane Primus October 2010 Introduction The Diocese comprises the east of Scotland between the village of Glencarse (just outside Perth and on the A90) and the outskirts of the city of Aberdeen. Geographically this is the smallest Diocese in the Scottish Episcopal Church (about the size of the Wakefield Diocese) but numerically matches a large English deanery, with 26 charges and 3083 persons of all ages belonging to the congregations.
