The walk starts and finishes at the historic ruin of the Church of St Mary in Kincardine O’Neil, the oldest village on Deeside. The present structure dates back to the 14thC but it is believed to have been a place of Christian worship from the 6thC. This walking route takes in a number of old roads, starting with Gallowhill Road, its purpose deriving from Medieval times when every feudal baron was required to erect a gibbet (gallows) for the execution of male criminals, and sink a well or pit, for the drowning of females! Soon after, the route follows a short section of the Old Deeside Road, now a farm track, which dates to before the great agricultural improvements that started in the 1700's.

  • Transport Scotland — A96 Inveramsay Bridge Improvement 7-1 7
    Transport Scotland — A96 Inveramsay Bridge Improvement 7 CULTRAL HERITAGE 7.1 Introduction This Chapter provides an assessment of the potential effects of the construction and operation of the proposed A96 Inveramsay Bridge Improvements (the Scheme) on cultural heritage (built heritage, archaeology and designed historic landscapes). As a highways Scheme, this assessment has been prepared in accordance with the Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB) Detailed Assessment (DMRB Volume 11 Section 3, Part 2 Cultural Heritage HA 208/07, 2007). In accordance with advice contained in DMRB Volume 11, an Options Appraisal (Stage 2 Simple Assessment) was undertaken in September 2011. This determined that the cultural heritage resource had the potential to be impacted by the Scheme. This was confirmed as part of a Scoping exercise (April 2012) which concluded that a detailed assessment was required. The objective of a DMRB Detailed Assessment (Volume 11, Parts 2 and 3), as required for inclusion in the Environmental Statement, is to: undertake sufficient assessment to identify the location, type and importance of cultural heritage constraints; characterise and assess the importance of the cultural heritage of the study area; determine the likely nature and scale of potential impacts from construction and operation of the Scheme; and determine mitigation measures to reduce or remedy any adverse impacts. 7.2 Approach & Methods 7.2.1 Plans and Policies This assessment has been undertaken in accordance with current legislation and planning policy. The following relevant documents have been used in the preparation of this report: The Town and Country Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) (Scotland) Regulations 2011; Historic Environment (Amendment) (Scotland) Act 2011; Scottish Historic Environment Policy (SHEP) 2011; Scottish Planning Policy (2010); and Planning Advice Note 2/2011 – Planning and Archaeology (2011).
