    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.

    Turriff and District U3A Newsletter March 2020

    Turriff and District U3A Newsletter March 2020 We are all saddened by the passing of our chair- man David Liebnitz in January - pictured here on the left at a geology outing to the Burn of Vat. David was keen member of the geology group. David was a founding member of Turriff and Dis- trict U3A and served the organisation as Member- ship Secretary from the beginning as well as being Chairman for the past three years. He also led the walking group being a keen walker him- self. No matter where the walk might take them there was always time for a seat and a rest and always a visit to a cafe for coffee and cake at the end of each walk. A tradition that will continue in the future for sure. He will certainly be missed by many in the organisation and we are grateful for all the hard work he did in his various roles. It was a pleasure to know him. Looking back over the last few months we have had a variety of speakers attending our general meetings. In November two employees of Santander gave us a very interest- ing presentation on Internet secu- rity and in December Claire Christie gave an insight into Citizens Advice. January saw Stuart Grant presenting Live Life Aberdeenshire and we were put through our paces in a seated exercise rou- tine by Joanne. Then in February there was a change of speaker and we were grateful to Albert Cran who gave us an insight into the life of a paramedic.

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.

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.

The Service is required to follow disposal procedures as outlined in its Collections Development Policy 2015-20 (Appendix 2 - 16. Disposal procedures), which was previously agreed by Committee. 2.2 The Collections Development Policy stipulates that the decision to dispose of material from the collections will be taken by the governing body only after full consideration of the reasons for disposal. The Communities Committee is the recognised “Governing Body” for the service and works within the principle that sound curatorial reasons for disposal must be established before consideration is given to the disposal of any items in Aberdeenshire Council’s museum collections. 2.3 A decision to dispose of a specimen or object, whether by gift, exchange, sale or destruction (in the case of an item too badly damaged or deteriorated to be of any use for the purposes of the collections or for reasons of health and safety), will be the responsibility of the governing body of Aberdeenshire Council Museums Service acting on the advice of professional curatorial staff, if any, and not of the curator of the collection acting alone. The Council’s Area Committees will be informed. 2.4 Aberdeenshire Council Museums Service recommends the disposal of 22 objects as listed below.

    Information Bulletin

    NORTH EAST SCOTLAND TRANSPORT PARTNERSHIP – 18 June 2014 8 Information Bulletin Purpose of Report The purpose of this report is to provide information and updates for the Board on a number of matters not requiring decision. Access to Laurencekirk Study Data collection surveys were undertaken in March 2014, including classified junction turning counts, queue lengths, link counts, junction delay, journey times and a parking study. The results have been assessed and further surveys undertaken at a small number of locations to verify initial findings. The traffic modelling requirements have been agreed and a Paramics microsimulation model of the study area is being built. The strategic Aberdeen Sub Area Model (ASAM) will provide information for the future year model development and ASAM is currently being refined to include more zones in the area and development allocations within north Angus. The Stag Pre-Appraisal report is being drafted and option assessment is underway. The next progress meeting will be held on 20 June 2014. Energetica corridor study In relation to the Energetica corridor study, Nestrans met with Transport Scotland in October 2013 to raise the topic of such a study with them. We have since met with the two Councils to discuss the scope of the project and are currently developing a study brief in partnership with Transport Scotland, Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire Councils. The study will identify and examine the options for strategic transport connections from Fraserburgh and Peterhead to Aberdeen along the Energetica corridor and will examine all modes of transport including options to reinstate the railway line. The study will form the pre-appraisal and part 1 appraisal stages of the STAG process and will include development and consideration of the objectives for the corridor and consideration of options to take forward to a more detailed appraisal.

    Our 2020-21 Annual Report

    ANNUAL REPORT [Company registered in Scotland number: 325854] [Scottish Charity Number : SC038980] Mearns and Coastal Healthy Living Network—Chairperson’s Report. What a year it has been – a year of challenges met and challenges overcome -, a combined effort by the Team, our volunteers, members, supporters, partners, donors, and funders. The Board and I are grateful to you and them for your continuing to support Mearns and Coastal Healthy Living Network and for being part of the Mearns and Coastal family. When we met for the Annual General Meeting (AGM) in November 2019, no one could have imagined how life would change before we gathered again for the AGM in February 2021. The ‘COVID-19’ pandemic, a virus few had heard of in 2019, dominated the year, and asked difficult questions of us all. Our Response Flexibility, determination, resilience, imagination, and a commitment to continue to work for the community were at the heart of Mearns and Coastal Healthy Living Network’s response. We found new ways of working at home and in the office and new ways of meeting on-line when we could not meet in person. Teams and Zoom calls became surprisingly familiar and effective, thanks in no small part to Steve Coles and Lynn Moir’s IT expertise. We maintained essential services (transport, home delivery shopping, gardening, and handy person) and adapted them to ensure the health and well-being of clients, volunteers, and staff. To tackle increasing social isolation in the community we add- ed new services to satisfy a growing need for keeping connected. The creation of the telephone service enabled Mearns and Coastal Healthy Living Network to reach more people not on-line, as did successful participation in the ‘Connecting Scotland’ programme, through which we distributed IT equipment and training to help people get on-line.
