  • Electoral Rolls and Valuation Rolls Finding Aid
    Falkirk Archives (Archon Code: GB558) FALKIRK ARCHIVES Local authority records Electoral Rolls and Valuation Rolls Finding Aid This finding aid lists all the electoral rolls and valuation rolls held in Falkirk Archives for the Falkirk area. The information is also repeated in the appropriate Burgh and Parish finding aids. The valuation rolls and electoral rolls in this finding aid are arranged by the place they refer to rather than by the different local authorities responsible for creating them. However, researchers should note that after 1975, both valuation rolls and electoral rolls were compiled in volumes which covered the whole of Falkirk District. Before 1975 records were compiled separately for each Burgh and for the County as a whole. Falkirk Archives holds the records for Bo’ness, Denny & Dunipace, Falkirk and Grangemouth. The valuation and electoral rolls for other towns and villages, such as Bonnybridge, Larbert, Stenhousemuir, Polmont, Brightons, Slamannan, Maddiston, Redding, Whitecross, Shieldhill, California, Avonbridge and rural areas were compiled in volumes by the County of Stirling and these records are held by Stirling Council Archives. Please note that, by law, full electoral rolls less than ten years old may only be consulted for electoral purposes and may not be copied. Falkirk Archives holds very few pre-1975 electoral rolls. The National Library of Scotland holds electoral rolls for the whole of Scotland from 1947 to the present. Falkirk Archives (Archon Code: GB558) Valuation & rating Valuation Rolls were first compiled in 1855 as a result of the Lands Valuation (Scotland) Act 1854 (17 & 18 Vict. c.91). They were compiled annually, and different local authorities were responsible for compiling the rolls in different areas and at different times.

  • The Feudal Land Divisions of East Stirlingshire
    Calatria Spring 1994 No. 6 The Feudal Land Divisions of East Stirlingshire John Reid When David I returned from England to claim his crown he brought with him to Scotland a retinue of Anglo-Norman knights. He, like them, had been raised at the English court. Together, they were products of the new style of feudalism which emerged in the twelfth century. With them they brought the attitudes and expectations which were to encourage the adoption of that form of the feudal order to Scotland where, although it remained to some degree recognisably different from that in England, it evolved as essentially that which pertained throughout late mediaeval Europe. The Parishes of East Stirlingshire Falkirk Local History Society Page 1 Calatria Spring 1994 No. 6 It was a force which was to dominate Scottish society from that time until the eighteenth century when a series of revolutionary events; civil, agricultural and industrial, caused a diminuation of feudal power. It was the Jacobite risings which led to the forfeiture of many of the old families in whose hands these hereditary powers had rested, while the later upheavals of that century saw a massive movement of the people from the land with, consequently, a reduction in the authority of the land owners. Feudalism was a product of its time. It was born of the need for kings to retain their realms through military strength. They required the support of men trained in the most effective skills of warfare. These men, the king’s vassals, also required followers. It was, in effect, a power pyramid.

Unauthorised reproduction infringes Crown copyright and may lead to prosecution or civil proceedings. Forestry Commission Licence no. 100021242 - 2008 © Forestry Commission Executive Summary Background to research This report describes a detailed desk study using digital data on a geographic information system (GIS) to identify Integrated Habitat Networks (IHNs) in the Falkirk area. The analyses used a landscape ecology model from the ‘BEETLE’ (Biological and Environmental Evaluation Tools for Landscape Ecology) suite of tools to assess the spatial position and extent of functional habitat networks. The BEETLE least-cost focal species approach was chosen to map and analyse the integrated habitat networks. This approach negates the need to carry out a vast number of individual species analyses, which is particularly important as data regarding species habitat requirements and dispersal through the landscape is lacking. Objectives of research To identify: • Focal species appropriate for the region, and to research and describe elements of their autecology
