  • Quaternary of Scotland the GEOLOGICAL CONSERVATION REVIEW SERIES
    Quaternary of Scotland THE GEOLOGICAL CONSERVATION REVIEW SERIES The comparatively small land area of Great Britain contains an unrivalled sequence of rocks, mineral and fossil deposits, and a variety of landforms that span much of the earth's long history. Well-documented ancient volcanic episodes, famous fossil sites, and sedimentary rock sections used internationally as comparative standards, have given these islands an importance out of all proportion to their size. These long sequences of strata and their organic and inorganic contents, have been studied by generations of leading geologists thus giving Britain a unique status in the development of the science. Many of the divisions of geological time used throughout the world are named after British sites or areas, for instance the Cambrian, Ordovician and Devonian systems, the Ludlow Series and the Kimmeridgian and Portlandian stages. The Geological Conservation Review (GCR) was initiated by the Nature Conservancy Council in 1977 to assess, document, and ultimately publish accounts of the most important parts of this rich heritage. The GCR reviews the current state of knowledge of the key earth-science sites in Great Britain and provides a firm basis on which site conservation can be founded in years to come. Each GCR volume describes and assesses networks of sites of national or international importance in the context of a portion of the geological column, or a geological, palaeontological, or mineralogical topic. The full series of approximately 50 volumes will be published by the year 2000. Within each individual volume, every GCR locality is described in detail in a self- contained account, consisting of highlights (a precis of the special interest of the site), an introduction (with a concise history of previous work), a description, an interpretation (assessing the fundamentals of the site's scientific interest and importance), and a conclusion (written in simpler terms for the non-specialist).

  • Caithness County Council
    Caithness County Council RECORDS’ IDENTITY STATEMENT Reference number: CC Alternative reference number: Title: Caithness County Council Dates of creation: 1720-1975 Level of description: Fonds Extent: 10 bays of shelving Format: Mainly paper RECORDS’ CONTEXT Name of creators: Caithness County Council Administrative history: 1889-1930 County Councils were established under the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1889. They assumed the powers of the Commissioners of Supply, and of Parochial Boards, excluding those in Burghs, under the Public Health Acts. The County Councils also assumed the powers of the County Road Trusts, and as a consequence were obliged to appoint County Road Boards. Powers of the former Police Committees of the Commissioners were transferred to Standing Joint Committees, composed of County Councillors, Commissioners and the Sheriff of the county. They acted as the police committee of the counties - the executive bodies for the administration of police. The Act thus entrusted to the new County Councils most existing local government functions outwith the burghs except the poor law, education, mental health and licensing. Each county was divided into districts administered by a District Committee of County Councillors. Funded directly by the County Councils, the District Committees were responsible for roads, housing, water supply and public health. Nucleus: The Nuclear and Caithness Archive 1 Provision was also made for the creation of Special Districts to be responsible for the provision of services including water supply, drainage, lighting and scavenging. 1930-1975 The Local Government Act (Scotland) 1929 abolished the District Committees and Parish Councils and transferred their powers and duties to the County Councils and District Councils (see CC/6).

  • Land and Environmental Services Roads Infrastructure
    Land and Environmental Services Roads Infrastructure Status & Options Report 2018 Contents 1. Introduction 2. Footways and Cycleways 3. Carriageways 4. Street Lighting 5. Road Drainage Systems 6. Traffic Signals 7. Traffic, Signs, Lines & Street Furniture 8. Structures 9. Clyde Tunnel 1. Introduction The Annual Status and Options Report is a product of our Road Asset Management Plan. It records the condition of our road assets and provides a means of identifying and prioritising the overall funding needs. This report discusses the status of our road assets in terms of extent, value and condition and presents the projected outcome of a number of investment options. The options and scenarios presented aim to assist with the budget setting process and identify where investment should be prioritised. The cost of replacing all road infrastructure assets is estimated at £4.5bn. The level of investment required to maintain our roads infrastructure in its current condition (steady state) is estimated at £30.1m per year; this equates to an annual investment of 0.67% of the total asset value. The Report contains a section for each road asset that outlines: 1. Asset Overview 2. Asset Condition. 3. Investment Options. The pie charts below illustrate and compares the annual level of investment required to maintain the asset in its current condition against the current level of investment. Steady State Investment - £30.1m Current Investment - £30.5m 1 2. Footways and Cycleways The Council is responsible for the maintenance of 3,126km of footways & 277km of Cycleways. Neighbourhood Footways This year saw the completion of a £5m investment programme that focused on highly pedestrianised neighbourhood thoroughfares.
