  • THE PINNING STONES Culture and Community in Aberdeenshire
    THE PINNING STONES Culture and community in Aberdeenshire When traditional rubble stone masonry walls were originally constructed it was common practice to use a variety of small stones, called pinnings, to make the larger stones secure in the wall. This gave rubble walls distinctively varied appearances across the country depend- ing upon what local practices and materials were used.

Apologies: Councillors D Aitchison and I Taylor. Officers: Director of Infrastructure Services, Head of Service (Transportation), Head of Service (Economic Development and Protective Services), Team Manager (Planning and Environment, Chris Ormiston), Team Leader (Planning and Environment, Piers Blaxter), Senior Policy Planner (Ailsa Anderson), Internal Waste Reduction Officer (Economic Development), Corporate Finance Manager (S Donald), Principal Solicitor, Legal and Governance (R O’Hare), Principal Committee Services Officer and Committee Officer (F Brown). OPENING REMARKS BY THE CHAIR The Chair opened the meeting by saying a few words about the weather and recent flooding across the north of Aberdeenshire, which had seen seven bridges closed, with some being destroyed and others extensively damaged. There was also damage to properties, with gardens and driveways being washed away and the Scottish Fire and Rescue being called out to assist with the pumping of water out from homes. Banff, Macduff, Whitehills, St Combs and Crovie were particularly badly hit, along with the King Edward area. The Chair commended the resilience of the local community, with neighbours looking out for one another and businesses starting the clean-up with repairs underway. The closure of seven bridges around King Edward had been particularly challenging and demonstrated the vulnerability of ageing infrastructure which was simply no longer fit for conditions, whether that was the volume and weight of traffic or extreme weather conditions.

Our 17-18 Executive team of Rebecca Kindness, (Head Girl) Alastair Strachan, (Head Boy) Emily Findlay (Depute Head Girl) and Luke Michie (Depute Head Boy) head up a large team of House Captains, Sports Captains and their deputies. In conjunction with our prefect group, who are made up of a small number of S4 students as well as their S5-6 peers, our seniors have been working hard to support school events. Back in August, pupils celebrated another set of very strong results with eight S4 students gaining six Grade A National 5 Awards and three S5 students delighted to achieve straight A results across five Higher courses. Well done to them and to last year’s S4-S6 as a whole who worked hard and should be very proud of their results. Both our S4 and S6 results were the strongest for the past 6 years.

  • The Fishing-Boat Harbours of Fraserburgh, Sandhaven, Arid Portsoy, on the North-East Coaxt of Scotland.” by JOHNWILLET, M
    Prooeedings.1 WILLET ON FRASERBURGH HARBOUR. 123 (Paper No. 2197.) ‘I The Fishing-Boat Harbours of Fraserburgh, Sandhaven, arid Portsoy, on the North-East Coaxt of Scotland.” By JOHNWILLET, M. Inst. C.E. ALONGthe whole line of coast lying between the Firth of Forth and Cromarty Firth, at least 160 miles in length, little natural protection exists for fishing-boats. The remarkable development, however, of the herring-fishery, during the last thirty years, has induced Harbour Boards and owners of private harbours, at several places along the Aberdeenshire and Banffshire coasts, to improve theshelter and increase the accommodation of their harbours, in the design and execution of which works the Author has been engaged for the last twelve years. FIXASERBURGHHARBOUR. Fraserburgh may be regarded as t,he chief Scottish port of the herring-fishery. In 1854, the boats hailing from Fraserburgh during the fishing season were three hundred and eighty-nine, and in 1885 seven hundred and forty-two, valued with their nets and lines atS’255,OOO ; meanwhile the revenue of the harbour increased from 51,743 in 1854 to 59,281 in 1884. The town and harbour are situated on the west side of Fraserburgh Bay, which faces north- north-east, and is about 2 miles longand 1 mile broad. The harbour is sheltered by land, except between north-west and east- south-east. The winds from north round to east bring the heaviest seas into the harbour. The flood-tide sets from Kinnaird Head, at the western extremity of the bay, to Cairnbulg Point at the east, with a velocity of 24 knots an hour ; and the ebb-tide runs in a north-easterly direction from the end of thebreakwater.
