Mark Kelman - Dress Code Solutions “I personally like being the boss. The best thing about working for myself is the control I have over my own life.” Mark Kelman was shortlisted by the Institute of Directors Scotland for the 2014 Prince’s Trust Youth Business Scotland Director of the Year and was awarded the top prize for Enterprise at the 2014 Young Scot Awards. He grew up in Evanton and attended Invergordon Academy, before going on to study Business Management at Inverness College UHI. Unsure of which career path to follow, he decided to pursue his love of enterprise and started looking for a gap in the market. It was as a result of the job that he had at the time, in the office at Invergordon Academy, that he identified the need for higher quality embroidered school uniform. In 2010 Mark founded local school outfitter and embroidery service Dress Code Solutions. He initially secured a ‘Will it Work’ grant from Youth Business Scotland and an additional grant from Business Gateway, which covered the cost of his website and financed the resources he needed. He then went on to secure a loan from Youth Business Scotland, and further support from Business Gateway and Highland Opportunity Limited to fund his move to new premises. Dress Code Solutions is now the largest embroidery company in the Highlands and Moray. It supplies a vast number of primary and secondary schools across a broad geographical area and in 2012 it opened a retail shop at its headquarters in Alness. In addition to school wear, Mark supplies corporate work wear to a number of the major oil and gas, construction and utility companies in the area, including Global, CRC, Babcock, Balfour Beattie, Scottish Water and Morrison Construction. The company’s expansion into new markets has enabled Mark to employ five full time and three part time staff - bringing new jobs to the local community and to his family, who make up part of his workforce.

Evanton IV16
Dear Customer Evanton Post Office® Chapel Road, Evanton, Dingwall, IV16 9XT Branch Temporary Closure We are writing to inform you that, regrettably, following the resignation of the postmaster and the withdrawal of the premises for Post Office use, the above branch will be closing temporarily on Tuesday 12 January 2021 at 13:00. The provision of a Post Office service to our customers in the local community is important to us, and we will continue to work hard to restore services in the area as soon as possible. We would welcome any applications from potential retail partners interested in running a branch locally on our behalf. The vacancy is currently being advertised on our website www.runapostoffice.co.uk and applications will be carefully considered. If you are aware of any interested parties, please do share the link with them. I would like to assure you that we are currently investigating the options available which will enable us to reinstate a Post Office service to the local community. In exploring this, it is important that any future service is sustainable for the person operating the service, and for Post Office Limited. Future provision will reflect customer numbers and usage and we may take the opportunity to establish an alternative type of service. This may be a local style branch which runs alongside an established retail shop in newly refurbished premises and creates a more modern and convenient experience for customers. If you have any questions you would like to raise about this matter, please write to me via the National Consultation Team at the address shown at the end of the letter.

Interdisciplinary Project Proposal
Place-names of Ferindonald (Easter Ross) - A window into the past An Interdisciplinary Project. Scottish Cultural Studies Degree Course. Orkney College, UHI. Adrian Clark ~ June 2011 1 Contents Page: 3 OVERVIEW METHODOLOGY INTRODUCTION 4 THE ANALYSIS OF PLACE-NAMES (AINMEAN ÀITE) 5 HISTORICAL BACKGROUND 11 SCHOOL VISIT 13 SIX NAMES OF FERINDONALD Pelaig Katewell Balconie Swordale Cnoc a’ Mhargadaidh and Knockmartin Fyrish 23 CONCLUSION 24 Appendices 30 References 2 Overview An interdisciplinary study of selected place-names in one area of Easter Ross to investigate their Pictish, Norse, Gaelic and English origins/connections, their changes and modifications over time, and their links with evidence from material and folk culture. The study aims to show how careful study of local place-names can be a powerful way of illustrating local history. Methodology Collation and tabulation of local place-names; analysis and classification Reference to the local archaeological record Examination of local folklore and history Selection of 6 place-names for in-depth study Interviews with residents: pronunciation, understanding and other information Site visits and project diary Participation in ARCH Route-ways project in Evanton: Map study Interactive quiz and discussion with P7 pupils at Kiltearn Primary School Introduction In discussing the phenomenology of landscape, Christopher Tilley reminds us that a sense of attachment to place is frequently derived from the stability of meanings associated with it (Tilley 1994). Place is both "internal" and "external" to the human subject, a personally embedded centre of meanings and a physical locus for action. The naming and identification of topographical features is crucial for the establishment and maintenance of their identity.

Evanton Wartime Remains: Sites and Features
Evanton Wartime Remains: sites and features During the first half of 2013 a group gathered at the Cornerstone Cafe on Wednesday evenings to remember and research the wartime remains in Evanton – buildings, sites, or monuments which were new, modified or no longer there. Using old maps, photographs (some over 90 years old), aerial photographs from the wartime and later, military archives and plans, memories spanning over 70 years and details gleaned by walking over the area, information about over 160 sites was gathered. Some pupils from the Kiltearn Primary school, Inverness Young Archaeologists Club and Dingwall Academy joined us as well, recording remains and learning about the wartime and later activities in Evanton. This report summarises the results of this research. Most of the recorded sites relate to wartime remains, but a few other unrecorded sites were also noted. The details and more photos will also be forwarded to the Highland Council Historic Environment Record (HER) (http://her.highland.gov.uk), the RCAHMS Canmore database (http://www.rcahms.gov.uk/canmore.html), and the SCAPE/SCH@RP coastal sites at risk database (http://scharp.co.uk/) where they will provide valuable new information about Evanton’s past. It is clear that this is not the last word, and we hope this report will encourage others to share any other memories and photographs they might have. The sessions were organised by ARCH which provides opportunities for people interested in learning about and helping to preserve their heritage. Evanton Wartime Remains was funded by the European Community Highland LEADER 2007-2013 Programme, Kiltearn Community Council’s Novar Windfarm funding (supported by RWEnpower renewables), The Highland Council, the Co- operative Membership Community Fund and the Robert Kiln Trust.
