  • Victoria & Albert's Highland Fling
    PROGRAMME 2 VICTORIA & ALBERT’S HIGHLAND FLING Introduction The Highlands are renowned throughout the world as a symbol of Scottish identity and we’re about to find out why. In this four-day walk we’re starting out at Pitlochry – gateway to the Cairngorms National Park – on a mountainous hike to the Queen’s residence at Balmoral. Until the 19th century, this area was seen by many as a mysterious and dangerous land. Populated by kilt-wearing barbarians, it was to be avoided by outsiders. We’re going to discover how all that changed, thanks in large part to an unpopular German prince and his besotted queen. .Walking Through History Day 1. Day 1 takes us through the Killiecrankie Pass, a battlefield of rebellious pre-Victorian Scotland. Then it’s on to an unprecedented royal visit at Blair Castle. Pitlochry to Blair Atholl, via the Killiecrankie Pass and Blair Castle. Distance: 12 miles Day 2. Things get a little more rugged with an epic hike through Glen Tilt and up Carn a’Chlamain. Then it’s on to Mar Lodge estate where we’ll discover how the Clearances made this one of the emptiest landscapes in Europe, and a playground for the rich. Blair Atholl to Mar Lodge, via Glen Tilt and Carn a’Chlamain. Distance: 23 miles Day 3. Into Royal Deeside, we get a taste of the Highland Games at Braemar, before reaching the tartan palace Albert built for his queen at Balmoral. Mar Lodge to Crathie, via Braemar and Balmoral Castle Distance: 20 miles Day 4. On our final day we explore the Balmoral estate.

  • Highland Perthshire Through the Archive
    A Guide to the History and Culture of Highland Perthshire through the Archive Dick Fotheringham, bell ringer in the Aberfeldy area, c1930s Ref: MS316/31 Perth & Kinross Council Archive 1 Foreword While I have been a member of the Friends of Perth & Kinross Council Archive for some time I only became a Committee member last year. Thus my being asked to become the chair of the Committee at this year’s AGM was, from my perspective, rather rapid promotion! Now I have been given the great honour of writing this foreword to the Friends’ latest publication, a survey and guide to sources of information on every aspect of life in Highland Perthshire as encapsulated in the collections of the Archive. In it you will find a comprehensive overview of the huge range of collections relevant to this topic including history, genealogy, industry, settlements, estates and anything else you may be interested in. Some of the material is “official”, like local authority documents, police and Justice of the Peace records. However, there is also guidance on exploring community-based collections put together by local people who were determined their “story” would live on and be accessible to anyone who was interested. There are also many illustrations of documents of different types with informative notes beside each one. These are, of course, merely a glimpse of the rich and varied sources which exist and can be explored with the help of the staff of the Archive. A feature which we hope will be seen as innovative, and was the brainchild of the authors, is a specimen analysis of a document which is designed to show you what you can learn from it whether you are a family, house or local historian, or just interested in maximising the information that a document can provide.

  • Countryside Trails Dunkeld
    Countryside Trails Dunkeld WELCOME Welcome to this southern end of Atholl Estates. The countryside here is a wonderful blend of lochs, woodland and heather moor. There is a large network of paths to explore. Some suggested routes are outlined overleaf, but you are welcome to choose your own. Just remember that some of the countryside to the north of the map, around Loch Oisinneach and Loch Broom, is very remote. Be prepared for rough paths and rough weather, and carry plenty of food. Although this area seems wild, it is used for farming and forestry. Sheep and cattle graze the open hill ground, and lambing takes place in the open here in spring. Forestry works felling trees and removing timber or planting new trees may be taking place at any time. The fallow deer population is also culled from time to time to keep the population to a reasonable level to prevent damage to trees and natural habitats. As they have no natural predators anymore, our stalker has to keep the numbers down.

Michael Morris Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Department of English Literature School of Critical Studies University of Glasgow September 2012 2 Abstract This thesis, situated between literature, history and memory studies participates in the modern recovery of the long-obscured relations between Scotland and the Caribbean. I develop the suggestion that the Caribbean represents a forgotten lieu de mémoire where Scotland might fruitfully ‘displace’ itself. Thus it examines texts from the Enlightenment to Romantic eras in their historical context and draws out their implications for modern national, multicultural, postcolonial concerns. Theoretically it employs a ‘transnational’ Atlantic Studies perspective that intersects with issues around creolisation, memory studies, and British ‘Four Nations’ history.

  • A9 Dualling Killiecrankie to Glen Garry Project. the Combination of These Two Projects Will Provide Several Benefits
    A9 Dualling Killiecrankie to Glen Garry Welcome Welcome to this joint exhibition on the Killiecrankie to Pitagowan and Pitagowan to Glen Garry projects of the A9 Dualling programme. As part of the A9 Dualling programme, Transport Scotland has been taking forward route option assessment work. In May and June 2015, exhibitions were held for the Killiecrankie to Pitagowan and Pitagowan to Glen Garry projects to seek public feedback on the route options being developed. The purpose of this exhibition is to provide the public with an overview of the outcome of the route option assessment work and to present the preferred option for the projects. This exhibition outlines the work that will be undertaken as part of the Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB) Stage 3 process to develop and assess the preferred option. Killiecrankie to Pitagowan: View of (from left to right) Tulach Hill, the River Garry, Killiecrankie, the A9 and Killiecrankie Battlefield. Pitagowan to Glen Garry: Looking south across the A9 and Glen Garry. Feedback from consultation, including today’s exhibiton, will be considered as part of the further development, refinement and assessment of the preferred option. Further consultation and engagement will also be undertaken on the junction and access strategy, as we address access to properties and land adjacent to the A9. Transport Scotland staff and their consultants can direct you to the content of the exhibition for each project and will be happy to assist you with any queries you may have. A leaflet containing summary information about the projects is also available for you to take away, as well as a feedback form where we welcome your comments.
