  • A Landscape Fashioned by Geology Jon Merritt and Graham Leslie
    Northeast Scotland: A landscape fashioned by geology The area described in this book extends northeast from the Cairngorms, and is bounded by the Moray Northeast Scotland Firth and the North Sea. It encompasses the heather-clad mountains that provide the backdrop to the A Landscape Fashioned by Geology beautiful landscape of Royal Deeside and a swath of more remote, rolling hills and glens to the north that include many of the famous whisky distilleries of the region. Jon Merritt and Graham Leslie “This volume on NE Scotland is an excellent addition to this valuable series, and admirably promotes the great variety of geology and landscape in an area that lies outside the traditional Scottish tourist destinations. Events that shaped this area cover hundreds of millions of years from the creation of the Caledonian Mountains to the deposition of the Old Red Sandstone, and the geologically recent NORTHEAST SCOTLAND: A LANDSCAPE FASHIONED BY GEOLOGY modifications of landscape in the Ice Ages. The influence of geology on landscape is clearly described and beautifully illustrated. There are many geological gems in this region, so be inspired, and go out and explore the ancient heritage of Buchan!” Professor Nigel Trewin, Aberdeen University About the Authors Jon Merritt has worked on various aspects of the superficial deposits and glacial landforms of Scotland for over thirty years particularly in the Highlands and Islands. He is an enthusiastic devotee of the Quaternary, the last two million years or so of the geological record, when glacial and periglacial processes fashioned so much of the landscape we see today.

  • Lotted Lands and Planned Villages in North-East Scotland*
    / / Lotted lands and planned villages in north-east Scotland* by Douglas G. Lockhart Abstract Between 17zo and the 185os some 490 planned villages, characterized by a regular layout of streets, building plots and adjacent fields (or Lotted Lands) were founded on estates throughout Scotland including loo or so in north-east Scotland. Lotted lands were fields, typically subdivided into one- or two-acr e lots, which were leased to villagers to grow crops such as oats and turnips and for grazing cattle and horses. Agricultural activities were particularly important where labouring and domestic industries provided insufficient employment. Working lotted lands gradually became less popular during the first half of the twentieth century though they continued to exist in a few places until the 197os. Planned villages founded by landowners on their estates during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries are one of the most distinctive settlement types in Scotland and Ireland. Their founding in such large numbers in this period is a feature which distinguishes the Scottish and Irish rural landscape from that of England. Typically, the ground plan and provision of the basic infrastructure of streets, drainage and water supply, and the construction of a few public buildings was undertaken by the landowner. Incoming families normally built their own homes or contracted with tradesmen to build for them. In all, some 49o villages were founded on landed estates throughout the Scottish mainland and in the Hebrides and Orkney Islands, while it has been estimated that about 500 villages were planned or re-planned in Ireland.1 A system of small and medium-sized villages was created in Scotland where previously only hamlets such as kirktowns at parish churches and burghs had existed.
