    Gàidhlig (Scottish Gaelic) Local Studies Vol

    Gàidhlig (Scottish Gaelic) Local Studies Vol. 22 : Cataibh an Ear & Gallaibh Gàidhlig (Scottish Gaelic) Local Studies 1 Vol. 22: Cataibh an Ear & Gallaibh (East Sutherland & Caithness) Author: Kurt C. Duwe 2nd Edition January, 2012 Executive Summary This publication is part of a series dealing with local communities which were predominantly Gaelic- speaking at the end of the 19 th century. Based mainly (but not exclusively) on local population census information the reports strive to examine the state of the language through the ages from 1881 until to- day. The most relevant information is gathered comprehensively for the smallest geographical unit pos- sible and provided area by area – a very useful reference for people with interest in their own communi- ty. Furthermore the impact of recent developments in education (namely teaching in Gaelic medium and Gaelic as a second language) is analysed for primary school catchments. Gaelic once was the dominant means of conversation in East Sutherland and the western districts of Caithness. Since the end of the 19 th century the language was on a relentless decline caused both by offi- cial ignorance and the low self-confidence of its speakers. A century later Gaelic is only spoken by a very tiny minority of inhabitants, most of them born well before the Second World War. Signs for the future still look not promising. Gaelic is still being sidelined officially in the whole area. Local council- lors even object to bilingual road-signs. Educational provision is either derisory or non-existent. Only constant parental pressure has achieved the introduction of Gaelic medium provision in Thurso and Bonar Bridge.

This document, produced in responseto perceived criticism by Eric Linklater, offers a unique insight into Gunn's view of his literary achievement at the end of his novel-writing career. In it Gunn sets out the theoretical concept of all his twenty novels being components of a single, composite, 'Novel of the Highlands', an abstract concept referred to in this thesis as a'meta-novel'.

    THE HIGHLAND COUNCIL Agenda Item 7.4 NORTH PLANNING APPLICATIONS COMMITTEE 11th November 2014 Report No PLN/081/14 14/03570/FUL: Wind Prospect Development Ltd. Land 1500M West Of Craggiemore, Rogart Report by Area Planning Manager - North SUMMARY Description : Operation of an anemometer mast for a further temporary period of one year Recommendation - GRANT Ward : 05 – East Sutherland and Edderton Development category : Local Development Pre-determination hearing : n/a Reason referred to Committee: 5 or more objections from members of the public. 1. PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT 1.1 The proposal is for a further 12 month extension to the siting of an existing wind monitoring mast on land around 6.5km to the north of Rogart Station at an altitude of c.180m. The wind monitoring mast consists of tubular sections of 3m length with an outer diameter of approximately 155mm. The mast is supported by six sets of guy wires attached to four steel reinforced ground anchors at a radius of approximately 33m from the base of the mast. It will be in position for a further temporary period of 12 months to allow for the recording of wind data. 1.2 There was no pre-application consultation on the proposal. 1.3 Access to the site is from an unclassified single track road to the north west of East Langwell then off-track across open hill ground. Other than occasional maintenance and the final removal of the structure, it is expected that minimal access will be required. 2. SITE DESCRIPTION 2.1 The site is on open ground at East Langwell.

    Directorate for Planning and Environmental Appeals Appeal Decision Notice T: 01324 696 400 F: 01324 696 444 E: [email protected] Decision by Allison Coard, a Reporter appointed by the Scottish Ministers Planning appeal reference: PPA-270-2103 Site address: Land 1600 metres west of Craiggiemore, Tressady Estate, Rogart Appeal by Wind Prospects Developments Limited against the decision by Highland Council Application for planning permission 13/02749/FUL dated 19 July 2013 refused by notice dated 25 February 2014 The development proposed: The construction and operation of a wind farm consisting of thirteen wind turbines and associated infrastructure including site entrance, access tracks, switchgear building and compound, permanent meteorological mast, temporary construction compound, water crossings and upgrading to the access route to the wind farm site. Date of site visit by Reporter: 20 June 2014 Date of appeal decision: 6 August 2014 Decision I dismiss the appeal and refuse planning permission. Reasoning 1. I am required to determine this appeal in accordance with the development plan, unless material considerations indicate otherwise. 2. Having regard to the provisions of the development plan the main issues in this appeal are: the landscape and visual impact of the proposal; the impact on residential amenity; the impact on the historic environment; and whether the impacts of this proposal are acceptable when balanced against its benefits. 3. In assessing these matters I have taken account of the Environmental Statement as published in July 2013. A revised plan of cumulative wind farm development was submitted with the appeal. This shows no change to the existing wind farms within 20 kilometres.

  • New Rogart Cemetery Our Code RO-A

    New Rogart Cemetery Our code RO-A Note: this graveyard is still in use. The new cemetery at Rogart lies in the valley opposite the old Kirk of St Callan. It is a very pretty spot and a very well kept cemetery. These are the oldest stones there. Note – we have chosen not to show some stones which record deaths during the last 50 or so years. Some of these stones belong to families who still live in Rogart This is a work in progress and new inscriptions may be added later this year Christine Stokes photographed and transcribed this cemetery. She has a considerable amount of genealogical information on the people of Rogart. If you are researching people from Rogart please feel free to contact her Please note that with all our inscriptions all Mc and Mac names are shown as Mac. This facilitates easier indexing for us and easier searching for you 100 years ago 1905 * * * * ROGART - Some time ago several meetings of the ratepayers were held to consider the condition of the burying ground, and the urgent necessity for its extension or the procuring of new ground. After certain steps had been taken with regard to it, the matter was allowed to fall into abeyance owing, principally, to the impossibility of finding, in a convenient situation, suitable ground for the purpose. Now that a croft in close proximity to the present burying-ground, and suitable in every respect, has become vacant a short time ago, through the surviving tenant having given up her right thereto, the Parish Council has taken the matter seriously in hand and at their meeting on Monday Rev Mr Macdonald, after referring to the present burying-ground, which he characterised as inadequate for the requirements of the parish, as being in a highly unbecoming state, and as an extension was by no means feasible, moved that the requisite steps be taken for the procuring of a new burying-ground.

    HIGHLAND COUNCIL Agenda 7. Item Report SCC/24/18 No Committee: Sutherland County Committee Date: 15 November 2018 Report Title: Winter Maintenance Plan 2018/19 Report By: Director of Community Services 1 Purpose/Executive Summary 1.1 This report provides Members with information on winter maintenance preparations and arrangements for the 2018/19 winter period including the amendments which take into account the Winter Service Policy published in August 2018. The Plan is produced within the Strategy and Budget allocated by the Community Services Committee at the meeting on 16 August 2018. 2 Recommendations 2.1 Members are asked to approve the 2018/19 Winter Maintenance Plan for Sutherland. 3 Background 3.1 The Council’s Scheme of Delegation to Area Committees gives the Sutherland Area Committee the power:- “ to approve the winter maintenance plan within the strategy and budget allocated by Community Services Committee” 3.2 Under Section 34 of the Roads (Scotland) Act 1984, a Roads Authority shall take such steps as they consider reasonable to prevent snow and ice endangering the safe passage of pedestrians and vehicles over public roads. 3.3 The Environment, Development and Infrastructure Committee agreed a number of enhancements to the winter maintenance service included in the revised Winter Service Policy dated August 2018 approved at its meeting on 16 August 2018 (Report EDI/57/18). 3.4 The Council’s Winter Maintenance Policy is in place to ensure a consistent level of service between Areas and to ensure, as far as possible, the safety of drivers/pedestrians. However, the operation of that Policy does not and cannot ensure that every road/footway will be free of ice and/or snow at all times.

It is true to say that with the exception of Clyne Kirkton before the clean up there St Callan’s is the most damaged of all Sutherland Burial Grounds. Many of the stones here are broken or fallen (including my own ancestors), many are below the turf and many of those still standing are fast becoming illegible. Thus you will find many missing photographs. I will try again this year but not certain I will find more standing stones. At the end of RO-B part two photograph album I have shown some damaged stones to describe the situation. RO-B1 Henrietta MACKAY, Morness, died 25 August 1898; her husband Donald MURRAY, died 5 February 1907; son Adam MURRAY, died 22 August 1932 and daughter, Jane MURRAY, died 2 June 1934.

    An Ethnography of Caithness, North Scotland Kimberley Masson Phd

    Kinship and belonging in the ʻland of strangersʼ : An ethnography of Caithness, North Scotland Kimberley Masson PhD University of Edinburgh 2009 Abstract This thesis is concerned with the heart of Caithness, the northernmost region of mainland Scotland. Based on 18 months participant observation in the coastal village of Lybster and the surrounding area, it explores concepts of kinship and belonging. The thesis examines characters, places, and events in both everyday and ritual settings. I trace the creation and maintainence of community, and the construction and blurring of the boundaries of belonging as well as paths of social transformation. I examine how Caithnessians perceive themselves as 'strangers' in their own nation, thus creating increasingly localized ties that bind. Significant in all of this, in a locality where migration has historically been important, is an analysis of how 'others' and their identities play a constitutive role in the self-identification processes of Caithnessians. I consider ascribed and achieved ways of belonging - the genealogical and performative journeys that are involved in fitting into this locality. I examine the contradictions, nuances, and negotiations that are evident in definitions of selves and others and the constitutive relationship between them. All of this is part of a wider investigation into how people conceptualise themselves and others. I argue that what I have called ‘island-mindedness’ characterises the identities of this mainland population and leads to a side-stepping of national identity. In the context of current research on the nation, such ethnographic illumination of the complexity of notions of identity in specific regions is essential for a rounded anthropological understanding of Scotland.
