Caithness and Sutherland Proposed Local Development Plan Committee Version November, 2015
Caithness and Sutherland Proposed Local Development Plan Committee Version November, 2015 Proposed CaSPlan The Highland Council Foreword Foreword Foreword to be added after PDI committee meeting The Highland Council Proposed CaSPlan About this Proposed Plan About this Proposed Plan The Caithness and Sutherland Local Development Plan (CaSPlan) is the second of three new area local development plans that, along with the Highland-wide Local Development Plan (HwLDP) and Supplementary Guidance, will form the Highland Council’s Development Plan that guides future development in Highland. The Plan covers the area shown on the Strategy Map on page 3). CaSPlan focuses on where development should and should not occur in the Caithness and Sutherland area over the next 10-20 years. Along the north coast the Pilot Marine Spatial Plan for the Pentland Firth and Orkney Waters will also influence what happens in the area. This Proposed Plan is the third stage in the plan preparation process. It has been approved by the Council as its settled view on where and how growth should be delivered in Caithness and Sutherland. However, it is a consultation document which means you can tell us what you think about it. It will be of particular interest to people who live, work or invest in the Caithness and Sutherland area. In preparing this Proposed Plan, the Highland Council have held various consultations. These included the development of a North Highland Onshore Vision to support growth of the marine renewables sector, Charrettes in Wick and Thurso to prepare whole-town visions and a Call for Sites and Ideas, all followed by a Main Issues Report and Additional Sites and Issues consultation. -

Excavations at the Early and Later Medieval Site of Ballachly, Dunbeath, Caithness, 2007–10 Lloyd Laing*, Edward Oakley†, Anne E Sassin‡ and Imogen Tompsett§
Proc Soc Antiq Scot 143 (2013), 265–302EXCAVATIONS AT BALLACHLY, DUNBEATH, CAITHNEss, 2007–10 | 265 Excavations at the early and later medieval site of Ballachly, Dunbeath, Caithness, 2007–10 Lloyd Laing*, Edward Oakley†, Anne E Sassin‡ and Imogen Tompsett§ ABSTRACT Excavation and field survey at Ballachly, Dunbeath, Caithness in 2007–10 produced evidence which suggests the existence of a possibly early medieval and later Norse site centred around the hillock known as Chapel Hill, on top of which is located an, as of yet, indeterminate unicameral stone building. The site, already well-known for its Early Christian inscribed stones, lay within a substantial stone-walled enclosure of late medieval to early post-medieval date, possibly constructed to enclose an undeveloped burgh of barony, thought to be Magnusburgh, which was reported to have been licensed in 1624. Although most of the enclosed area did not yield evidence of occupation, two separate areas at the base of the hillock produced evidence for medieval industrial activity, including ironworking and a cobbled possible working surface. This activity post-dated a palaeo-channel, possibly reused as a ditch, and substantial stone wall, forming a possible boundary enclosure, whose lower-lying area has since been heavily disturbed by flooding and subsequent agricultural activity. Evidence of the site’s association with an early monastery was not substantiated, though the site’s character still suggests a former centre of some importance. INTRODUCTION substantial radiating stone walls, ruins on top of its hill and local historic accounts of a chapel or In 1996, whilst rebuilding a wall on his croft at monastery and associated churchyard (illus 3).
