The purpose of this handbook is to provide you with a summary of essential information that you will need to support your child during their time with us. We understand that moving from primary to secondary can be an emotional process for almost all young people and sometimes their parents.

With that in mind we very much recognise the importance of getting the transition from primary to secondary right with the intention that all pupils are well supported in making the move. This handbook is very much part of that, giving you information about the school and the many opportunities for young people within Kilsyth Academy. Furthermore, engagement with parents and carers is an essential aspect of our work that helps create a culture that allows each and every young person to achieve their full potential in the widest sense. Our emphasis in Kilsyth Academy is in ensuring pupils fully realise their potential. There are strong traditions of excellence in Kilsyth Academy, based on high expectations and standards.

  • The Inventory of Historic Battlefields – Battle of Kilsyth
    The Inventory of Historic Battlefields – Battle of Kilsyth The Inventory of Historic Battlefields is a list of nationally important battlefields in Scotland. A battlefield is of national importance if it makes a contribution to the understanding of the archaeology and history of the nation as a whole, or has the potential to do so, or holds a particularly significant place in the national consciousness. For a battlefield to be included in the Inventory, it must be considered to be of national importance either for its association with key historical events or figures; or for the physical remains and/or archaeological potential it contains; or for its landscape context. In addition, it must be possible to define the site on a modern map with a reasonable degree of accuracy. The aim of the Inventory is to raise awareness of the significance of these nationally important battlefield sites and to assist in their protection and management for the future. Inventory battlefields are a material consideration in the planning process. The Inventory is also a major resource for enhancing the understanding, appreciation and enjoyment of historic battlefields, for promoting education and stimulating further research, and for developing their potential as attractions for visitors.

Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Humanities College of Arts University of Glasgow © Peter Drummond February 2014 2 Abstract This thesis examines a small but unfashionable area of Scotland, invisible to tourist guidebooks, heavily urbanised, and whose towns have won environmental ‘Carbuncle awards’ from the Scottish media. Yet it is deep in Gaelic and Scots place-names which reveal a landscape that past inhabitants perceived to be a green and relatively pleasant land, if perhaps not flowing with milk and honey. Part Three belies its numeration, in that it is the core of the study, examining in detail the place-names of eight (modern) parishes, listing old forms and attempting a sound etymology for each.
