The aim of this report is to collate and assess existing information on the cultural heritage of the study areas and set this information out in its context. The archaeological and historical background has therefore used the known archaeology of a wider area within the Highlands to place the study area within context. This report has also been prepared to describe the value of the cultural heritage assets. 1.2 The historic environment 1.2.1 The historic environment is recognised as comprising all aspects of the environment which have resulted from the interaction between people and places through time. The elements of the historic environment that are considered to hold significance are called heritage assets. 1.2.2 Cultural heritage within the study area has been considered under the following three sub-topics as outlined in DMRB Volume 11, Section 4, Part 2, Cultural Heritage (HA208/07): • Archaeological Remains - the material remains of human activity from the earliest periods of human evolution to the present. These may be buried traces of human activities, sites visible above ground or moveable artefacts. Archaeological remains can encompass the remains of buildings, structures, earthworks and landscapes, human, animal or plant remains or other organic material produced by or affected by human activities or their settings (HA208/07, Annex 5, para 5.1.1) • Historic Buildings - standing historical structures that are usually formally designed or have some architectural presence. These may include structures that have no aesthetic appeal or structures not usually thought of as ‘buildings’, such as milestones or bridges (HA208/07, Annex 6, paragraph 6.1.2) • Historic Landscape - landscape is an area, as perceived by people, whose character is the result of the action and interaction of natural and/or human factors (HA208/07, Annex 7, paragraph 7.1.2) 1.2.3 A cultural heritage asset is an individual archaeological site or building, a monument or group of monuments, a historic building or group of buildings or a historic landscape which together, with its setting (where relevant), can be considered as a unit for assessment. 1.2.4 A full list of the cultural heritage assets within the study area is contained in Section 5 and illustrated on Drawings 15.1 to 15.7 in Volume 3. 1.3 Methodology 1.3.1 This assessment was undertaken in accordance with guidance provided by the Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB), Volume 11, Section 3 Part 2 ‘Cultural Heritage’ (HA 208/07), the Chartered Institute for Archaeologists’ (CIfA) Standard and guidance for historic environment desk-based assessment (CIfA 2014a) and The Highland Council’s Standards for Archaeological Appendix 15.1 Cultural Heritage - Desk Based Survey Page 1 A9 Dualling – Crubenmore to Kincraig DMRB Stage 3 Environmental Impact Assessment Work (2012). Settings assessments were undertaken in accordance with Historic Environment Scotland’s Managing Change in the Environment: Setting (2016). Study area 1.3.2 The study area is defined as the Proposed Scheme footprint plus a 200m area in all directions from it, as defined in HA208/07 (5.4.1) and as shown in Drawing 15.1, in Volume 3. The 200m study area is considered appropriate for archaeological remains, historic buildings and historic landscapes in this assessment. 1.3.3 Designated assets within a 1km radius of the Proposed Scheme have also assessed for potential visual impacts on their setting. Data gathering 1.3.4 Data was gathered from the following sources: • The Highland Council (THC) – Historic Environment Record (HER) • Perth and Kinross Council – Historic Environment Record • Historic Environment Scotland (HES) – information on designated heritage assets (Scheduled Monuments, Listed Buildings, Registered Parks and Gardens, Battlefields and World Heritage Sites) • Cultural heritage assets recorded on Canmore • Walkover surveys undertaken by AB Heritage in August 2015 • Setting assessment surveys undertaken by CH2M Fairhurst Joint Venture (CFJV) in November 2017 and March 2018 • HLAmap (Scotland’s Historic Land-use Assessment). Assessment of Value 1.3.5 Based on guidance provided by DMRB, an assessment of the sensitivity (value) of each cultural heritage asset was undertaken on a six-point scale of Very High, High, Medium, Low, Negligible and Unknown, based on professional judgement, guided by the criteria provided in DMRB and presented in Table 1-1 below. 1.3.6 To inform the assessment of value of the cultural heritage assets (see Table 1-1 below), the Scottish Archaeological Research Framework (ScARF) was used to identify relevant research objectives to which cultural heritage assets within the study area could potentially contribute information. Appendix 15.1 Cultural Heritage - Desk Based Survey Page 2 A9 Dualling – Crubenmore to Kincraig DMRB Stage 3 Environmental Impact Assessment Table 1-1: The value of cultural heritage assets Value Criteria Very High World Heritage Sites (including Nominated Sites) Structures inscribed as of universal importance as World Heritage Sites World Heritage Sites inscribed for their historic landscape qualities Assets of acknowledged international importance Assets that can contribute significantly to acknowledged international research objectives Other buildings of recognised international importance Historic landscapes of international value, whether designated or not Extremely well-preserved historic landscapes with exceptional coherence, time-depth, or other critical factor(s) High Scheduled Monuments (including proposed sites) and those with standing remains Undesignated assets of schedulable quality and importance Category A Listed Buildings Other Listed Buildings that feature exceptional quality of their fabric or historical associations not adequately reflected in the category Conservation Areas containing very important buildings Undesignated structures of clear national importance Archaeological assets that can contribute significantly to acknowledged national research objectives Designated historic landscapes of outstanding interest Undesignated landscapes of outstanding interest Undesignated landscapes of high quality and importance, and of demonstrable national value Well-preserved historic landscapes, exhibiting considerable coherence, time-depth or other critical factor(s) Medium Category B Listed Buildings Historic (unlisted) buildings that can be shown to have exceptional qualities in their fabric or historical associations Conservation Areas containing buildings which contribute significantly to their historic character Designated or undesignated assets that contribute to regional research objectives Historic Townscape or built-up areas with important historic integrity in their buildings, or built settings (e.g. including street furniture and other structures) Designated special historic landscapes Undesignated historic landscapes that would justify special historic landscape designation, landscapes of regional value Averagely well-preserved historic landscapes with reasonable coherence, time-depth or other critical factor(s) Low Category C Listed Buildings Designated and undesignated assets of local importance Assets compromised by poor preservation and/ or poor survival of contextual associations Assets of limited value, but with potential to contribute to local research objectives Historic (unlisted) buildings of modest quality in their fabric or historical association Historic Townscape or built-up areas of limited historic integrity in their buildings or built settings (e.g. including street furniture and other structures) Robust undesignated historic landscapes Historic landscapes with importance to local interest groups Historic landscapes whose value is limited by poor preservation and/ or poor survival of contextual associations Negligible Assets with very little or no surviving archaeological interest Buildings of no architectural or historic note or buildings of an intrusive character Landscapes with little or no significant historical interest Unknown The importance of the site has not been ascertained Buildings

WATSON, MA.,LL.D. - \^' ^'--fSSSSS^.-sll^^ ENEAS MACKAY 43 MURRAY PLACE, STIRLING 1922 INTROiJUCTION. Dr Alexander Macbain's work on Names of Places deals with the Cehic names of pre-Gaehc " " he calls Pictish with Gaehc origin which ; names, ancl with names of Norse origin which have been transmitted through Gaelic. The area from which he took his materials was chiefly Inverness-shire, Sutherland, and Lewis. His views on the language spoken by the Picts are " given in his paper on Ptolemy's Geography of Scotland" (published separately), in his edition of Skene's "Highlanders of Scotland," and in several papers contained in this volume, particu- " larly that on the Place-Names of Inverness- shire." His position is that the Picts spoke that the Celtic Early British or a dialect of it, and language of early Britain was practically homo- geneous from the English Channel to the very North. He agrees with Kuno Meyer in holding " that no Gael ever set his foot on British soil save from a vessel that had put out from Ire- larid." Further, assuming that the terms Cruthen (which is the Gaelic form of Briton) and Pict are co-extensive and mutually convertible, VI. INTKODUCTION. ' ' ' he includes under Picts ' the whole of the Celtic settlers in Britain prior to the Belgae, thus ignoring the facts that the Picts are not heard of till about 300 %^, and that all old authorities (Gildas, Nennius, Bede, &c.) state that their original seat in Scotland was in the far North.

See Chapter 5 (Volume 1) for details of the Proposed Scheme. 8.1.2 In accordance with the Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB) ‘Interim Advice Note (IAN) 125/09’, (The Highways Agency et al., 2009) this chapter covers the ‘land use’ and ‘community effects’ topics of DMRB Volume 11, Section 3, Part 6 (Land Use) and Part 8 (Community Effects) (The Highways Agency et al., 2001a; 2001b). 8.1.3 In the absence of revised DMRB guidance setting out the methodology for People and Communities, the assessments are retained in separate chapters but both chapters are called ‘People and Communities’. Chapter 8 deals with Community and Private Assets, whereas Chapter 9 deals with Effect on All Travellers (which includes consideration of pedestrians, cyclists and equestrians and land used for recreation). This chapter assesses impacts on a number of community and private asset receptors, including: • Local communities (community severance and socio-economic impacts) • Residential and commercial land and property (private assets, including business viability) • Community land and property • Agricultural, forestry and sporting interests (private assets, including business viability) • Development land (private assets) • Waterway restoration projects1 8.1.4 The chapter is supported by Drawings 8.1 to 8.14, which can be found in Volume 3 of this Environmental Statement (ES).
