  • A Miscellany of Bastle Houses by Tam Ward
    A Miscellany Of Bastle Houses by Tam Ward. 2017 . Further archaeological work done within the Daer Reservoir, South Lanarkshire PAGE 1 A Miscellany of Clydesdale Bastle Houses. Tam Ward With contribution by Ann Mathieson 2017 Abstract Since 1981 after the discovery that Windgate House near Coulter was a bastle house, search, survey and in some instances excavation, has revealed a series of hitherto unknown such houses in Upper Clydesdale. Research continues on the subject of Scottish bastle houses, and fieldwork, although now scaled down, continues also. This paper presents several sites which have seen less intensive research but are nevertheless important as part of the grouping of bastles and probably bastles in Upper Clydesdale, now part of South Lanarkshire. Introduction The following sites are given in this paper since they have not merited individual reports compared to those places which have been more thoroughly investigated, mainly by excavation and which are given on the BAG website (see references below). This work completes the reporting of sites which are confidently interpreted as bastle houses in Clydesdale, although other possible sites are known, and numerous localities where only historical references are now available, are also suspected as being of the bastle tradition of building and occupation in the 17th century (see Zeune 1992). Sites CARNWATH MILL Tam Ward 2015 By shear chance when visiting the late owner, Mr Tom Alison at Carnwath Mill Farm and on Biggar Museum business, the writer realised that the kitchen he was sitting in, and while having a cup of tea, was in fact part of a bastle house.

List of further support Introduction So, you want to develop a community renewable energy project… Background The inspiration for the production of this brochure came largely from the process of developing the promotional brochure for the fourteen projects supported by the Northumberland Strategic Partnership Renewable Energy Capital Grant Scheme, which was made available in 2007-08 to support a number of demonstration schemes. In talking to the recipients of the grant, many of the people involved in developing projects heaved a big sigh and proclaimed that they were glad If only I had….. that they’d got there in the end but “if only I had ….” or “if I was to do it again I’d make sure…..”. Many of these experiences came from community groups or small businesses who had faced interacting with not only the renewable energy sector, but the whole process of contracting large works for the first time with little more than home renovation experience to go on. If I was to do it It became apparent that much of the real value of again I would…. supporting such projects was not only the resulting demonstration of the technology but also the opportunity to capture this learning process that individuals and groups have been through to reach a successful project.
