Introduction The Forth Valley and Lomond LEADER area encompasses the rural areas of Stirling, Clackmannanshire and West Dunbartonshire. The area crosses three local authority areas, two Scottish Enterprise regions, two Forestry Commission areas, two Rural Payments and Inspections Divisions, one National Park and one VisitScotland Region. An area criss-crossed with administrative boundaries, the geography crosses these boundaries, with the area stretching from the spectacular Highland mountain scenery around Crianlarich and Tyndrum, across the Highland boundary fault line, with its forests and lochs, down to the more rolling hills of the Ochils, Campsies and the Kilpatrick Hills until it meets the fringes of the urbanised central belt of Clydebank, Stirling and Alloa.

MINUTES Monday 1st April 2019 in the Village Club Draft Members Present: - Marian Lever; Grace Edmonds; Julie Hutchison; Mandy Watson; John Gray; Evelyn McDougall In attendance: Councillor Rob Davies; Police Constable Martin, Police Scotland; M Vass, SCDT; Pam Campbell SC +19 residents. (SC = Stirling Council. CC = Community Council. CDT= Community Development Trust * De- notes an action) 1. Welcome from the Chair ML welcomed everybody to the meeting. 2. Apologies and Declarations of Interest Apologies: Philip Graves. There were no declarations of interest. 3. Police Report PC Martin reported that there had been very little crime in the last month. The police continue to carry out road checks in the village to deter travelling criminals, drunk drivers etc. He highlighted Police Scotland’s national doorstep crime initiative, which has achieved significant results. There was a report of possible bogus workmen in the village and of suspicious people selling items around residential premises. There was also a report of a suspicious vehicle. Police attended these reports, but no crimes had been committed. PC Martin urged everyone to continue to report anything they think is suspicious. Hand held radar has been continuing in the area to detect speeding drivers. There were a num- ber of road accidents in the area, including one at the roundabout on Glasgow Road, but no seri- ous injuries. PC Martin has been talking to the Camera Safety Unit regarding the positioning of the camera van in the villages. ML asked PC Martin if they are planning to introduce the Herbert Protocol to help elderly people who wander. Families can complete a form with information about the person so that the police have something to work with immediately.

NBG Report for KCC Meeting 19 Apr 2017
NBG Report for KCC Meeting 19 Apr 2017 Further progress! The new fibre cabinet at the Killearn exchange is now live, accepting orders, and some residents have already got the service installed and working. Speeds are reported to be as expected at 30Mbps or more. So if you live in “The Trees”, nearby, or in the centre of the village, you should be able to get “super-fast broadband! About 50% of postcodes in the village are now connected to one of the fibre cabinets. Status of your individual connectivity can be checked on either of the WhereandWhen pages of the BT Openreach or Digital Scotland websites or in the tables at the end of this report. This site is also showing a download of the exchange roll-out list, but as this is only at exchange level, it doesn’t help very much. NOTE: Remember the Digital Scotland “Better Broadband Scheme” provides a subsidy to establish a better connection using either satellite or wireless for those currently getting download speeds of less than 2Mbps. See the KCC website for specific links. Balfron has also got more cabinets with 85% of the village now showing as “Accepting Orders”. Strathblane/Blanefield is in a similar position with slightly over 85% of the village covered. Buchlyvie has nearly 90% showing as connected while Croftamie/Drymen is showing nearly 60% Accepting Orders. All this does have to be qualified though as many premises are on long lines, and whilst they will see a significant benefit in speed (double or better), they will not achieve “super-fast” speeds.

Gartmore Village Hall Development Phase 1
CELEBRATING 100 PROJECTS FROM THE FORTH VALLEY AND LOMOND LEADER PROGRAMME 2007-2013 IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF LIFE IN RURAL FORTH VALLEY AND LOMOND THROUGH REVITALISED COMMUNITIES AND ENHANCED NATURAL ENVIRONMENTS Photo © SEAG FOREWORD I joined Forth Valley and Lomond LEADER Local Action Group during the last programme, when it only covered rural Stirling and West Dunbartonshire, and continued as Vice Chair and the Chair for this programme. For this LEADER programme the area expanded to take in rural Falkirk, rural Clackmannanshire and part of West Dunbartonshire more than doubling the population we covered. The escalation in LEADER coverage drove us to expand the Local Action Group (LAG) including many more people who had not had LEADER coverage before. The transition process was ultimately successful and the LAG became a knowledgeable sounding board for applications to LEADER, approving over £3m worth of projects in the area. This transition from a small LEADER area to a much larger and more varied rural area would not have been nearly as successful without the leadership and friendly manner of Dereck Fowles, Chair of Rural Stirling LEADER and first Chair of Forth Valley and Lomond LEADER. Sadly, Dereck passed away in November 2013 at the rip old age of 86, eleven of those years having been spent supporting and leading us in LEADER. Dereck was a friendly and welcoming Chair with a quick wit that was always used to put people at ease. Always very generous with his time and absolutely committed to the improvement of the lives of people living in rural Scotland, Dereck, more than any other single person, helped make this LEADER programme a success and he will be sorely missed in the Forth Valley and Lomond area and in rural Scotland.

"The Parish of Strathblane and Its Inhabitants from Early Times: a Chapter of Lennox History" by John Guthrie Smith (died 1894), F.S.A. Scot., James Maclehose and Sons, Publishers to the University, 1886. Pages 93, 95: THE DUNCANS IN LEDLOWAN IN KILLEARN, AND DRUMMIEKEICH IN STRATHBLANE Among the families in Killearn who were not possessed of lands was an old race of the name of Duncan. They were leading people in the parish in the seventeenth century, and though the main line is extinct in the district, there are many families both in Strathblane and elsewhere descended from this good old stock. John Duncan in Ledlowan, in Killearn, and afterwards in Drummiekeich (part of Blairquhosh Cunninghame), in Strathblane, married in 1703 Elizabeth Graham, one of the large clan in Strathblane which had grown and multiplied since David de Grahame was settled at Mugdock about the middle of the thirteen century. John Duncan and his wife had three sons, of whom afterwards, and two daughters - Elizabeth, who married in 1740 William Finley of Moss, and had (1) William of Moss, who was the father of the late William Finlay of Moss, who died childless; Mrs. James Adair Lawrie, of whose family the eldest son, Archibald Campbell Lawrie, advocate, now of Moss, is a judge in Ceylon; and Mrs. Dixon. (2) Jean, married David Bannerman of Letham Hill, whose only surviving child Elizabeth, married at the Moss in 1805 the Rev. John Graham of Fintry, afterwards of Killearn (see Grahams of Ballewan), and had issue, Captain Thomas Graham, late of Balfunning, and three daughters.
