A purchase list, with price and registration numbers is attached. This year, we were fortunate to be able to buy three paintings by Stirling – based artist Macneil Macleay (1806 – 1883). The main work is oil on canvas, “Loch Earn, Perthshire, from the east with the hills of Balwither [sic] in the distance” Height 46cm x width 78.5cm, Frame: Height 67cm x width 97cm Signed bottom right “N.Macleay 1868”. Handwritten title above, on back of the frame. In original frame by J.A. Butti, carver, gilder, picture framer and looking glass manufacturer, 1 Queen Street, Edinburgh (Label on reverse of frame). Artist: Macneil MacLeay (fl.1829–1862) was born in Oban, the son of Kenneth MacLeay of Glasgow and Oban, who was a man of considerable literary note. Macneil Macleay was a prolific painter of landscapes, mostly in oil, and had a love of Highland scenes. His brother Kenneth was a founder member of the RSA in 1820. Macneil Macleay was elected ARSA in 1836 but resigned in 1848. In 1840 he travelled to the Rhine where he made studies of the local landscape. His work is highly detailed and his romanticised views of the Highlands have a gentle charm. In 1848 he moved from Edinburgh to Stirling where he lived in Lower Bridge Street, in the shadow of the castle, until his death. Prior to this the Smith had only two paintings by him: Stirling Castle and Loch Awe. There are five in the collection of Perth Art Gallery, one in Angus Council and one in NTS. In 2006, we attempted to purchase a similar sized view of Stirling by the artist, at Christie’s in London. We went to a hammer price of £13,600, but the painting went to a private collector for twice as much. Securing this work for £1220 was therefore a bargain. Two bodycolour works of Loch Achray and Loch Katrine were purchased in a separate auction for £200. The Old Watercolour Society did not approve of artists using bodycolour, which had none of the translucency of watercolour. From the museum point of view, bodycolour is not subject to light damage in the same way as watercolour is, and does not need special low lighting. 21,276 The purchase of the maquette of ‘The King of Scots in Battle’ after the Great Seal of Robert the Bruce (1326-1329), polyester overlaid with polychrome decoration, the ebonised base with silver plaque inscribed 'The King of Scots in Battle after The Great Seal of Robert the Bruce 1326-29, by C D O Pilkington Jackson ARSA FRBS SC was a major highlight of the year. As there was no advance warning of the sale, and insufficient time to raise the money, the Friends of the Smith supported the entire purchase, having expected to spend much more. Charles d'Orville Pilkington Jackson ARSA, FRBS, FRSA (1887-1973) is best known for his iconic equestrian statue of King Robert the Bruce at Bannockburn, and his significant part in the sculptural decoration of the Scottish National War Memorial. He trained at Edinburgh College of Art 1906-10, then attended the British School in Rome 1910-11. Thereafter he was based in Edinburgh throughout his career as a sculptor. His oeuvre is not confined to military figures, but he had a special interest in the subject, no doubt stemming from his own military experience. This began in 1909 in the Edinburgh University Officers' Training Corps. Subsequently he served with the Royal Field Artillery in Egypt and Palestine 1914-18, and with the 3rd Anti-Aircraft Division in Scotland 1939-45. As a result, Pilkington Jackson had a facility for depicting military bearing and was meticulous about historical accuracy in dress and weaponry. This work is of great importance to Stirling, and complements the Smith’s collection on Wallace, Bruce and Bannockburn. There is no comparable collection in any other Scottish museum, and people who are interested in the Wars of Independence know that the Smith is the place to visit. 95cm wide, 43cm deep, 121cm high (37in wide, 16 1/2in deep, 48in high). No 1 of 3 bearing assay marks for Hamilton and Inches, Edinburgh, 1967. 21,288. Two publications, Thorough Draining and Deep Ploughing by James Smith of Deanston, 1844 and Catalogue of W. Drummond & Sons, Seedsmen Stirling and Dublin, 1844. It was James Smith of Deanston who made the Carse of Stirling what it is today, turning it from a marshy wasteland into the bread basket of Scotland, thanks to his agricultural innovations. The Drummonds commissioned a massive portrait of him, which is now on permanent display in the Smith, in thanks for his inventions. These works complement the agricultural collection in the Stirling Smith. 21,299 Stirling Harbour in the Snow by Henry Morley (1868 – 1937) Henry Morley was born in Nottingham, the younger son of a wealthy family involved in the lace industry. He studied art in Paris at the Academie Julian where he met Isobel Hutchison, daughter of the Headmaster of the High School of Stirling. He then came to Stirling in c1894 to join Isobel at the Craigmill Country Atelier where they studied under Joseph Denovan Adam. They married in 1901 and settled in Stirling. In 1910 they moved into The Gables, an Arts & Crafts house and studio near the Borestone, designed & built for them. They became prominent figures in the local arts scene and were very well known Scottish artists. Morley died at The Gables in 1937. Isobel died in Dunblane in 1946. This is a small work by Morley, the 19th in the Smith collections. It was wrongly catalogued as “Edinburgh” in the auction sale and obtained at a very reasonable price. 21,305 Drymen Communion Silver A pair of plain silver Communion cups, each on a spreading circular foot with flattened rim, moulded knop to the lower and upper inverted baluster shaped stem, the bucket shaped bowl inscribed, ‘The Communion Cups of the Kirk of Drymen, 1732’ and with slightly everted rim, by Johan Gotleiff Bilsinds, Glasgow circa 1732 Height – 21cms Height of bowl – 9.5cms Diameter of base – 11cms Diameter of bowl – 12cms Weight -509gms and 499gms respectively, or c16 troy ounces A Britannia metal Communion flagon of plain tapering cylindrical form on moulded base, the body with applied reeded girdle and inscribed ‘Kirk of Drymen, 1852’, short spout and corkscrew thumb piece to the domed cover, the scroll handle with heart shaped termination, unmarked, mid-19th century, 31cms high. A Britannia metal Communion plate inscribed ‘Kirk of Drymen, 1852’. 41cm in diameter. From Strathendrick, and its inhabitants from early times. An account of the parishes of Fintry, Balfron, Killearn, Drymen, Buchanan, and Kilmarnock by John Guthrie Smith (1896): In 1688 the Presbytery of Dumbarton was engaged in investigating the equipment of the different churches within its bounds and the efficiency of the schools. On the 9th November 1668 the Minutes of the Presbytery bear: Drymen, “Anent the public guids” it was found that the Session possessed “a bazon for baptism and box for the poor’s money with two keyes in the custodie of two elders and ane black mortcloath dedicate at first by umq Ion Drummond at the milne of Drummond and the Sessione as ther Session book more amplie proports.” There were no Communion vessels of any kind, and this is another proof of the widespread neglect of the Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper in episcopal times.

  • A91 (Blairlogie) Petition Update
    Stirling Council Agenda Item No.7 Date of Environment & Housing Meeting: 12 September 2019 Committee Not Exempt A91 (Blairlogie) Petition Update Purpose & Summary Following a presentation of the A91 (Blairlogie) petition at the Environment & Housing Committee on 6 June 2019, Committee Members requested that officers investigate how a 30mph limit could be introduced to Blairlogie and provide a design for its installation. This report and its appendices present the findings of that investigation. Recommendations Committee is asked to: 1. note the contents of this report; 2. note the options presented; 3. note feedback from consultation with community; and 4. recommend a report to a future Finance & Economy Committee. Resource Implications There is no budget allocation for implementation of 30mph speed limits within the Traffic Management & Community Safety or Implementation of Accident Sites Remedial Programme budgets. Therefore, any decision to carry out works to allow for implementation of 30mph limits will require an additional capital allocation that will require to be considered through the Council’s budget process. Legal & Risk Implications and Mitigation Stirling Council, as the roads authority has a responsibility to set local speed limits in line with national guidance, direction and good practice. Failure to do so may leave Stirling Council open to legal action should an accident occur in an area where the speed limit has not been set in line with that guidance. 1. Background 1.1. The A91 is the primary route linking Stirling and St. Andrew’s. 1.2. Blairlogie is the first of six settlements on the A91, which run along the Hillfoots within Stirling and Clackmannanshire.

    CELEBRATING 100 PROJECTS FROM THE FORTH VALLEY AND LOMOND LEADER PROGRAMME 2007-2013 IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF LIFE IN RURAL FORTH VALLEY AND LOMOND THROUGH REVITALISED COMMUNITIES AND ENHANCED NATURAL ENVIRONMENTS Photo © SEAG FOREWORD I joined Forth Valley and Lomond LEADER Local Action Group during the last programme, when it only covered rural Stirling and West Dunbartonshire, and continued as Vice Chair and the Chair for this programme. For this LEADER programme the area expanded to take in rural Falkirk, rural Clackmannanshire and part of West Dunbartonshire more than doubling the population we covered. The escalation in LEADER coverage drove us to expand the Local Action Group (LAG) including many more people who had not had LEADER coverage before. The transition process was ultimately successful and the LAG became a knowledgeable sounding board for applications to LEADER, approving over £3m worth of projects in the area. This transition from a small LEADER area to a much larger and more varied rural area would not have been nearly as successful without the leadership and friendly manner of Dereck Fowles, Chair of Rural Stirling LEADER and first Chair of Forth Valley and Lomond LEADER. Sadly, Dereck passed away in November 2013 at the rip old age of 86, eleven of those years having been spent supporting and leading us in LEADER. Dereck was a friendly and welcoming Chair with a quick wit that was always used to put people at ease. Always very generous with his time and absolutely committed to the improvement of the lives of people living in rural Scotland, Dereck, more than any other single person, helped make this LEADER programme a success and he will be sorely missed in the Forth Valley and Lomond area and in rural Scotland.

(two letters and six figures): Sheet 58 NS 863914 (swing bridge), NS 857931 (pier) Subject description: Piers of the former railway bridge that had a swinging section to permit navigation(1,2). Known as “The Other Forth Bridge”, when first built it was the lowest crossing of the Forth. The piers comprise forty columns of stone and riveted iron plate braced together in pairs with cast iron brackets, forming a half mile long viaduct standing 24ft above HW springs. The bridge was completed in 1885 and closed in 1968. In the 1970s the swinging portion and spans were removed leaving the piers and abutments. The location is a wildlife haven, numerous duck and other waterfowl inhabit the reed beds and the piers are heavily used cormorant roosts(3). On the next bend in the river is the extensive former Admiralty munitions depot at Bandeath(4). The warehouses with their enclosing earth blast walls and pier with railway mounted crane remain. The pier is privately owned, in a ruinous condition and one is advised to keep off it. From this facility puffers were used to supply the fleet through two world wars via the depot’s internal railway.

  • Foi-19-00951 Information Released
    13 October 2017 BC/pt Nicola Sturgeon MSP First Minister St Andrews House Regent Road Edinburgh EH1 3DG Dear First Minister, I have recently been contacted by one of my constituents regarding your announcement about setting up a public energy company. My constituent says that he applauds this commitment but has asked me to outline the issue faced by many people in rural areas. Some years ago, the then Scottish Hydro, recognising that many rural areas don’t have access to mains gas, set up a tariff called THTC (Total Heat Total Control) designed to run storage heating off-peak, plus another heating appliance on cheap rate. Consequently, many people installed electric boilers, which were just about cost-effective on that tariff. This means that, unless they are prepared to replace their entire heating systems, they are effectively locked to this tariff. No other provider offers such a tariff, and SSE don’t offer it to new customers, while being free to increase the costs. My constituent suggests that this area would seem an ideal case for the new public utility to consider. YoursR sincerely, Redactede d a c Brucet Crawford MSP e d Bruce Crawford MSP Stirling constituency (SNP) Office 16, John Player Building, Stirling Enterprise Park, Stirling FK7 7RP Telephone 01786 471899 Email: [email protected] Stirling Constituency covers: Aberfoyle, Arnprior, Ardeonaig, Balfron, Balquhidder,Bannockburn, Blanefield, Brig O’Turk, Buchlyvie, Balmaha, Callander, Cambusbarron, Cowie, Crianlarich, Croftamie, Deanston, Doune, Drymen, Fallin,
