Highland Perthshire Through the Archive
A Guide to the History and Culture of Highland Perthshire through the Archive Dick Fotheringham, bell ringer in the Aberfeldy area, c1930s Ref: MS316/31 Perth & Kinross Council Archive 1 Foreword While I have been a member of the Friends of Perth & Kinross Council Archive for some time I only became a Committee member last year. Thus my being asked to become the chair of the Committee at this year’s AGM was, from my perspective, rather rapid promotion! Now I have been given the great honour of writing this foreword to the Friends’ latest publication, a survey and guide to sources of information on every aspect of life in Highland Perthshire as encapsulated in the collections of the Archive. In it you will find a comprehensive overview of the huge range of collections relevant to this topic including history, genealogy, industry, settlements, estates and anything else you may be interested in. Some of the material is “official”, like local authority documents, police and Justice of the Peace records. However, there is also guidance on exploring community-based collections put together by local people who were determined their “story” would live on and be accessible to anyone who was interested. There are also many illustrations of documents of different types with informative notes beside each one. These are, of course, merely a glimpse of the rich and varied sources which exist and can be explored with the help of the staff of the Archive. A feature which we hope will be seen as innovative, and was the brainchild of the authors, is a specimen analysis of a document which is designed to show you what you can learn from it whether you are a family, house or local historian, or just interested in maximising the information that a document can provide.

GRIFFIN AND CALLIACHAR MICRO GRANT GUIDELINES What are micro grants? Micro grants are intended to make the SSE Renewables community funds available to individuals and small local groups who need small amounts to pursue their objectives. The process of applying for and receiving a micro grant is intended to be relatively quick and light touch and will be managed by your local community council. How much can I apply for? Up to £500. For groups with a constitution, larger grants are available by applying to SSE. For more information please go to https://www.sserenewables.com/communities/community-fund-locations/great- britain/griffin-and-calliachar/ where all guidelines and forms can be found. Alternatively, contact Craig Mullen, Community Investment Manager, by email [email protected] or telephone 01738 340621. What can micro grants be used for? Community-focussed or charitable activities which: • enhance quality of life for local residents; • contribute to vibrant, healthy, successful and sustainable communities; and/or • promote community spirit and encourage community activity. What cannot be supported • Projects which do not benefit people living within the community council areas of Aberfeldy; Dull and Weem; Dunkeld and Birnam; Kenmore and District; and Mid Atholl, Strathtay and Grandtully. • The advancement of religion or politics (including requests to support the core activities of religious or political groups). • The purchase of second hand vehicles. • Trips abroad. • Costs of energy consumption. • The repayment of loans or payment of debts. • Costs already incurred or activities which will take place before we have made a decision on an application (retrospective funding). • Payments towards areas generally understood to be the exclusive responsibility of statutory authorities.

To Download a PDF Summary of All Annie Menzies Pages
COVER NOTE The previous four pages and the following pages were recreated from the original publication A history of the North Easthope pioneers, County of Perth, Ontario, Canada, from Perthshire, Scotland by Mary Louise McLennan. The pages that follow are only Part 1 pertaining to Annie Menzies Merrylees. The entire publication is online at http://www.ourroots.ca/e/toc.aspx?id=12404 I ANNIE MENZIES MERRYLEES (Died August 1935 one year and two months after this article.) ANNIE MENZIES MERRYLESS "Glen where the sheep are, Glenquaich, Where lives brave hardy heroes, Thine equal is not to be found, Grey hens and wild pigeons and grouse from the moors, And roe-bucks so agile roam over the hills, The Cuckoo and mavis in the beautiful woodlands, In the shelter of the mountains Sing music on each bough." "Up with the White and Red" "Geal is Dearg a Suas" is the war-cry of the Menzies. The mountain ash is their badge. The name Menzies (Gaelic Mengues) is among the first surnames adopted in Scotland in the reign of Malcolm III. In the reign of David II, William Menzies was keeper of the Royal Forest of Alythe in Kincardinshire. Under the same reign Alexander Menzies held the lands of Reidhall in Perthshire. In 1745 the fighting force of the Clan was three hundred men and they followed Prince Charlie. They also followed the first Pretender and were present at the famous indecisive battle of Sheriffmuir. Menzies of Shian took the place of the head of the Clan Menzies of Castle Weem who was ill.
