February 2009.Vol.9 Issue 1 Newsletter Strathdearn February 2009.Vol.9 Issue 1 Newsletter VILLAGE HALL The Hall Committee is aware that the future of the Hall will impact on everyone in this area, and has decided that before any decisions are made, everyone in the community should be able to give their opinion on the future of the hall. In this edition of the Newsletter, you’ll find a questionnaire for each member of the household eligible to vote, and a stamped addressed envelope. Ignore the number written on the bottom of the page, you can use any of the forms delivered to your house. Please take time to complete and return this questionnaire to me, as the decisions made will affect everyone to some degree, and if we don’t show any interest now, we may not have a hall in years to come. Your opinion is important – please respond to the questionnaire. Duncan Hendry, 53 Sunnyside, Culloden Moor, Inverness IV2 5ES 01463 790483 07881 832004 Two very special occasions celebrated in 2008 by two very special “Strathdearners” On 19th March 2008, Pearl and Charlie Cameron celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary. They were joined at home by their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, plus other family and friends who all helped to make it a very special day. Guests were coming and going from morning ‘till night and it proved to be a very hap- py day for us all! Charlie was born and brought up in Tomatin, where as a boy he attended Primary School at Raigbeg. Pearl came to Moy with her parents when she was just a year old, and as girl attended Moy Primary School. Charlie and Pearl met at a local dance but by her own admission Pearl had had her eye on him for some time before, and just bided her time!! They were married at Moy village hall and apart from their first year of marriage have lived happily in Moy ever since. …wishing you both lots more happy times. On 23rd October 2008 Charlie celebrated his 90th birthday, which again proved to be a very busy day for him and Pearl, with lots of family and friends calling to wish him a very happy birthday. There was a lot of laughter and quite a few boyhood stories from Charlie which we all loved hearing. By all accounts, boys then got up to quite a bit of mischief too! We always said he should have written a book! …..wishing you lots more happy times.

Educational Overseas Gap Year with Project Trust For the past 6 years, Millburn Academy and Blythswood Care have worked together and selected a team of seven 5th year pupils to spend two weeks working with underprivileged children in Romania. In June 2008 the selected team, of which I was part of, went to help out at the annual summer camp (Talita Kum Centre). I had the time of my life and on returning home I immediately started researching similar projects. I had heard about Project Trust, an educational charity, sending school leavers in their gap year to work voluntarily in 24 different countries. Their aim is to provide the volunteer with an educational experience through living and working with peo- ple in communities very different from their own. I decided to apply. In December I was invited to a selection week on the Island of Coll. There was a group of approximately 25 of us all hoping to be successful. During this week we were assessed on various essential qualities such as team work, physical attributes and teaching abilities. The week ended with a ceilidh which was great fun as we had all become friends. I returned home and waited anxiously to hear the outcome. A week before Christmas a letter arrived telling me I had been accepted. I was delighted. I will spend twelve months in Namibia teaching English in a rural primary school. I return to Coll in July for a week of training and it is then I am introduced to my partner for the year. In the meantime I have to raise £4,400 which seems scary at the moment but with ideas at the planning stage and help from teachers and friends at school, I hope to make it. Look out for a coffee morning planned for February/March!

Susan Mackintosh-Grant JOB DONE—ENJOY!!! STRATHDEARN BOOK CLUB By the time you read this we will have just finished John le Carré’s novel “Absolute Friends”. This old spymaster has lost none of his touch, with twists and turns that grip till the end. His detail is astonishing, interspersed with clever, funny and even beautiful descriptions – despite the subject matter at times. Not a book to race through, it’s far too enjoyable in the detail.

Their relationship to preceding ceramic traditions will be further considered here. This review will summarise the principal vessel types from across the study area, further critiquing regional ceramic traditions and their chronology. The contextual aspects of these trends are considered in the following chapter. Before this, I will briefly outline the nature and quality of the evidence from across the study area.

    ( t SCOTTISH HISTORY SOCIETY FOURTH SERIES VOLUME 8 Papers on Sutherland Estate Management Volume i PAPERS ON SUTHERLAND ESTATE MANAGEMENT i802-1816 edited by R. J. Adam, M.A. Volume 1 ★ ★ EDINBURGH printed for the Scottish History Society by T. AND A. CONSTABLE LTD 1972 © Scottish History Society 1972 •$> B 134 FEC x 19 73/ ' SBN 9500260 3 4 (set of two volumes) SBN 9500260 4 2 (this volume) Printed in Great Britain PREFACE The Society’s invitation to edit these volumes came when I was already engaged on a detailed study of the history of the Sutherland Estate in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. That being so, it was necessary to decide on the precise division of material between this work and the book which I hope to publish on the wider aspects of the history of the estate. The decision taken by my fellow-editor, the late Mr A. V. Cole (Senior Lecturer in Economics in the Uni- versity of Leicester, and one-time Lecturer in Political Economy in the University of St Andrews), and myself was to publish evidence which would illustrate the general working of the estate manage- ment, and to concentrate in the introduction, where space was neces- sarily limited, upon the economic aspects of estate policy. It was our intention, on account of our different disciplinary approaches, that I should assume responsibility for selection and textual preparation, while Mr Cole should analyse the material from an economic stand- point and write a major part of the introduction. I was fortunate to have Mr Cole’s help and guidance in the early stages of selection, and to come to know something of his thinking on the broad issues presented by the evidence.

Excavations at sites across the country have revealed the presence of pre-mound pits, postholes and artefact scatters on the preserved ground surfaces below the monuments, suggesting episodes of earlier human activity.
