A baby brother for Finn and second grandson for Gavin and Megan. A new great grandson for Jimmy and Agnes MacIntyre. Some years ago I purchased a mobile scooter for the village, for anyone’s use, in memory of my husband and it was made good use of by several people. On enquiring now, I can’t find it or any indication of where it is stored. Can anyone enlighten me please? Also ... I walk along the village pavement a lot and find it appalling that drivers are abusing the 30mph speed limit. A lot of locals are among them – we are the ones who should be respecting the limit and maybe others will follow. I have seen cars go through at speed, braking to go round “the Heights” corner: maybe we should get together and demand speed bumps or speed cameras? We can’t wait for a tragedy to happen for a result. Jean MacRae (Editor’s note: this topic has been discussed often at Community Council meetings and the same suggestions made, but it’s proved difficult to get the relevant authorities to provide such solutions) HIGHLAND HOSPICE CHRISTMAS CARDS Hospice Christmas cards, calendars, A5 diaries and Christmas wrapping paper will be on sale in the hall each Wednesday in November during the Community coffee morning 10.30am to 11.30pm on November 6th (seniors’ vouchers & Christmas lunch invitations available to collect also on this day until 12 o’clock) and 13th, 20th & 27th.

We are aiming to make the area safer, more attractive and healthier for everyone by providing paths which increase the number of trips made by walking, cycling and ‘wheeling’ of prams, scooters etc. Tomatin Shop to Juniper Drive We have been discussing this path for over 10 years. Planning work came to a halt due to difficulties in reaching an agreement with Highland Council Roads on a cost-effective solution. SCD funds were then redirected into the new hub project. SCD is now revisiting the proposal. Sustrans has new funding from the Scottish Government which provides 100% of funding for design costs and around 50% for construction. New principles include ‘context specific’ design, ‘reallocating road space, and restricting motor traffic permeability to prioritise people walking, cycling and wheeling over private motor vehicles’. Hopefully this means our plans for a path design which fits our rural village setting and includes traffic calming to restrict speeding through Tomatin will be more acceptable than before. Moy There have been improvements to the roadside path through Moy and a maintenance agreement is in place. Work will start shortly on clearing and resurfacing the 2.5km Birch Walk path on the east side of Loch Moy with improvements to seating and parking arrangements. Longer term SCD is considering work on further elements of the Tomatin path network and more investigation into the feasibility of an off-road long-distance route connecting Aviemore with Inverness - mostly following the old military road - through Tomatin and Moy. STEP IT UP HIGHLAND We are currently planning two differently paced walks each week: one at a normal, fairly brisk walking pace and the other at a slower pace and for a shorter distance. These suit walkers with differing requirements, but both are beneficial for health and wellbeing, and offer a chance to go out into our beautiful countryside. This is particularly spectacular at the moment with the dramatic autumn colours. Our walk last week enabled us to see the beautiful pale gold of the birches alongside the subtle bronze of the beech trees, with the hills a misty purple-brown in the background.

  • The Sinclair Macphersons
    Clan Macpherson, 1215 - 1550 How the Macphersons acquired their Clan Lands and Independence Reynold Macpherson, 20 January 2011 Not for sale, free download available from www.reynoldmacpherson.ac.nz Clan Macpherson, 1215 to 1550 How the Macphersons acquired their traditional Clan Lands and Independence Reynold Macpherson Introduction The Clan Macpherson Museum (see right) is in the village of Newtonmore, near Kingussie, capital of the old Highland district of Badenoch in Scotland. It presents the history of the Clan and houses many precious artifacts. The rebuilt Cluny Castle is nearby (see below), once the home of the chief. The front cover of this chapter is the view up the Spey Valley from the memorial near Newtonmore to the Macpherson‟s greatest chief; Col. Ewan Macpherson of Cluny of the ‟45. Clearly, the district of Badenoch has long been the home of the Macphersons. It was not always so. This chapter will make clear how Clan Macpherson acquired their traditional lands in Badenoch. It means explaining why Clan Macpherson emerged from the Old Clan Chattan, was both a founding member of the Chattan Confederation and yet regularly disputed Clan Macintosh‟s leadership, why the Chattan Confederation expanded and gradually disintegrated and how Clan Macpherson gained its property and governance rights. The next chapter will explain why the two groups played different roles leading up to the Battle of Culloden in 1746. The following chapter will identify the earliest confirmed ancestor in our family who moved to Portsoy on the Banff coast soon after the battle and, over the decades, either prospered or left in search of new opportunities.

  • Moy Estate Tomatin by Inverness
    THE HIGHLAND COUNCIL Agenda Item 5.7 SOUTH PLANNING APPLICATIONS COMMITTEE PLS Report No 20 AUGUST 2013 048/13 13/01180/S36 : CARBON FREE MOY LIMITED (CFML) MOY ESTATE TOMATIN BY INVERNESS Report by Head of Planning and Building Standards SUMMARY Description : Application to increase the potential generational capacity of the consented Moy Wind Farm from 41MW to 66MW. Recommendation - Raise No Objection Ward : 20 Inverness South Development Category : Section 36 Application – Electricity Act 1989. Pre-determination Hearing : Not Required Reason referred to Committee : 5 or more objections. 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 The application is to facilitate an increased power output from the 20 turbine wind farm project previously granted planning permission, on appeal, within Moy Estate. It offers a potential 66MW of generating capacity, an increase from the potential 41MW generating capacity associated with the approved scheme. 1.2 The application was submitted to the Scottish Government for approval under Section 36 of the Electricity Act 1989. Should Ministers approve the development, it will carry deemed planning permission under Section 57(2) of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997. The Council is a consultee on the proposed development. Should the Council object to the development, Scottish Ministers will require to hold a Public Local Inquiry to consider the development before determining the application. 1.3 As the application is not significantly different to the earlier planning application, the supporting information relies upon the Environmental Statement (ES) prepared for the planning application. In a similar way this report seeks to focus on the key differences between the applications and to update Committee on changes to those policy/material considerations relevant to the applications to help the Committee determine its position on the consultation from the Scottish Government.

  • 15. Cultural Heritage
    A9 Dualling Northern Section (Dalraddy to Inverness) A9 Dualling Tomatin to Moy Stage 3 Environmental Statement 15. Cultural Heritage 15.1. Introduction 15.1.1. This chapter presents the results of the cultural heritage assessment for the Proposed Scheme. The Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB Volume 11, Section 3, Part 2: HA208/07) identifies three specific areas of interest under the overarching aspect of cultural heritage: archaeological remains, historic buildings and historic landscapes. 15.1.2. Archaeological remains consider those materials created or modified by past human activities, which includes a wide range of visible and buried artefacts, field monuments, structures and landscape features. Built heritage considers architectural, designed or other structures with a significant historical value, such as listed buildings. The historic landscape concerns perceptions that emphasise evidence of the past and its significance in shaping the present landscape. 15.1.3. Within the context of the DMRB, a cultural heritage asset is considered to be an individual archaeological site or building, a monument or group of monuments, an historic building or group of buildings and/or historic landscape. 15.1.4. In relation to archaeological remains and historic buildings the assessments have generally focussed on known sites, features, buildings and structures or sites and areas identified as having archaeological potential within the study area. 15.1.5. In relation to historic landscapes, the assessment has focussed on historic landscape types and historic landscape units within the assessment study area where social and economic activity has served to shape the landscapes in which there is a discernible awareness of their evolution.

  • Movements of Alma in 2008
    Movements of Alma in 2008 03 January 2008 No signals received on 30th or 1st, but at 2.15pm this afternoon received a low quality signal from north of Grantown-on-Spey, with Alma possibly moving onto Dava Moor. It was snowing quite heavily in the hills with strong easterly winds. 05 January 2008 A snow blizzard was raging on 4th Jan, the Lecht road was closed and so was the Cabrach by late afternoon. (I was trying to drive that route to Banchory and had to turn back and travel via Huntly). The mountains received a big snowfall and for once the mountains hares in winter coat would have been camouflaged. This morning the weather cleared, and the snow started to disappear on the lower ground. Over midday two signals were received as Alma flew south from the Ladder Hills across Strathdon, presumably to find food on lower hills. The distance between the Carn Mor and Birkford/Lynemore is 4.3 km. At 6.30pm on the 7th she was back roosting in the southern slopes of the Ladder Hills, near the Peat Hill. On lower ground Glen Fiddich hills from Cabrach 11 January 2008 Great information received today. The mountains in the Cairngorms National Park are at their very best; plenty of snow throughout the hills, cold, clear skies and light winds. All the ski centres reporting excellent conditions. Alma was busy to the south of the Lecht ski centre. Yesterday's sunny skies had charged up the solar battery on the radio, so really accurate signals at 0622 and 0659GMT showed exactly where she roosted in the southern parts of the Ladder Hills.

  • Historic Forfar, the Archaeological Implications of Development
    Freshwater Scottish loch settlements of the Late Medieval and Early Modern periods; with particular reference to northern Stirlingshire, central and northern Perthshire, northern Angus, Loch Awe and Loch Lomond Matthew Shelley PhD The University of Edinburgh 2009 Declaration The work contained within this thesis is the candidate’s own and has not been submitted for any other degree or professional qualification. Signed ……………………………………………………………………………… Acknowledgements I would like to thank all those who have provided me with support, advice and information throughout my research. These include: Steve Boardman, Nick Dixon, Gordon Thomas, John Raven, Anne Crone, Chris Fleet, Ian Orrock, Alex Hale, Perth and Kinross Heritage Trust, Scottish Natural Heritage. Abstract Freshwater loch settlements were a feature of society, indeed the societies, which inhabited what we now call Scotland during the prehistoric and historic periods. Considerable research has been carried out into the prehistoric and early historic origins and role of artificial islands, commonly known as crannogs. However archaeologists and historians have paid little attention to either artificial islands, or loch settlements more generally, in the Late Medieval or Early Modern periods. This thesis attempts to open up the field by examining some of the physical, chorographic and other textual evidence for the role of settled freshwater natural, artificial and modified islands during these periods. It principally concentrates on areas of central Scotland but also considers the rest of the mainland. It also places the evidence in a broader British, Irish and European context. The results indicate that islands fulfilled a wide range of functions as secular and religious settlements. They were adopted by groups from different cultural backgrounds and provided those exercising lordship with the opportunity to exercise a degree of social detachment while providing a highly visible means of declaring their authority.
