COLES, ASSISTANT KEEPER OF THE MUSEUM. In the report for the year 1903,1 the most westerly site in the northern portion of the Buchan district was at the Standing Stones of Auchnagorth, three miles to the west of New Pitsligo. For an area westwards of Auchnagorth measuring ten miles by four, there are no sites recorded on the maps. The absence both of cairns and of circles is very marked. Doubtless, this is in great part due to the highly cultivated condition of the land in that district. districe th n I t deal r last witou t n surveyhi e resultth , f whico s e ar h contained in the present report, the recorded sites are fairly frequent; majorite th but n o ,f them yo e actuath , l megalithic remain e lamentar s - ably meagre districe Th . t surveye vera s di y a verwid d y ean irregular one, and it will be most easily represented by being divided into four portions, viz.—(I.)

  • Settlement Tugnet
    Settlement Tugnet Site Address Land to the east of Tugnet Ref Number SITE 1 Proposed extension to Tugnet rural community to accommodate Bid Summary tourist development (2.6 acres/1.05 ha) Site Description Gorse Greenfield/ Brownfield Greenfield Current Zoning Countryside and Coastal Protection Zone (CPZ) TMC Transportation Services to advise. Core path road (ER 125) extends from ‘The Steadings’ on the B9104 to the Wildlife Centre. This joins an aspirational core path (4) to Bogmoor via the B9104. ER125 links into the Speyside Way which extends eastwards to Transportation Portgordon. A SUSTRANS route linking Garmouth to Nether Dallachy is situated to the south of Spey Bay, cutting across the B9104. The SUSTRANS route does not extend into settlement. There are no bus services to Tugnet. The boundary of the rural community was changed during the Planning History preparation of the Moray Local Plan 2008 (MLP 2008) to reflect the planning consent granted for a tourist development at the Spey Bay Hotel (04/02489/FUL). This included the demolition of the existing hotel, golf clubhouse, driving range and timber pavilion to create a golf associated development of a clubhouse, 3 new golf lodges, the refurbishment of existing holiday units to form overnight accommodation, the creation of 21 house sites, a waste water treatment works, oil tank to serve the clubhouse and associated roads. The development has not been implemented and consent has now lapsed. An application to change the use of an existing recreational building to licensed premises at the Golf Course was recently granted consent (11/00487/APP). Little other development has taken place in the rural community since 2000: one dwelling has been permitted and 3 self-catering units have been made into a private dwelling.

  • Appendix 3 Moray Local Housing Strategy 2013-2018
    Appendix 3 Moray Local Housing Strategy 2013-2018 1. Housing Market Areas 1.1. The Housing Need and Demand Assessment (HNDA) 2011 identified 6 housing market areas in Moray. The HNDA was appraised as “ robust and credible” by the Scottish Government on 12 September 2011. 1.2. The areas are based on analysis of the origin of house purchasers over a 5 year period. The methodology used to identify these 6 areas is set out in full in the HNDA 2011 Appendix 3. 1.3. This analysis shows that of houses sold in Moray 73.45% were bought by a purchaser originating from within Moray. The next largest originating area was England (7.97%). 1.4. Identifying housing markets helps the Council and its partners to make provision for the right amount of housing (owner occupied and affordable rented) in the right locations across Moray by: • enabling the Council to assign appropriate targets for achievement of new affordable housing to each sub market area, through the Strategic Housing Investment Plan (SHIP) • enabling the Environmental Services Department to designate sufficient land for new housing development in each sub-area through the Local Plan. 1.5. The towns included in each HMA are listed below. Housing market boundaries provide a best fit between school catchment areas, house purchase analysis and census output areas. The census output areas and the housing market area they fall within are also listed below.

  • A Stable Environment: Surrogacy and the Good Life in Scotland
    The London School of Economics and Political Science A Stable Environment: Surrogacy and the Good Life in Scotland Katharine Dow A thesis submitted to the Department of Social Anthropology of the London School of Economics and Political Science for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, London, September 2009 1 Declaration I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others (in which case the extent of any work carried out jointly by me and any other person is clearly identified in it). The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without the prior written consent of the author. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. 2 Abstract In this thesis I describe the claims that a group of people living in rural Scotland make about maternal surrogacy. For them, surrogacy is a topical issue that provokes speculative ethical judgements. This is in a context in which they are building good lives, strongly informed by environmentalist ‘ethical living’ and local wildlife conservation. I describe the kinds of ideas they employ and reproduce in discussing the ethics of surrogacy to capture the nuanced judgements that go into ethical claim-making. I argue that, in order to understand these people’s ideas about what is natural and what is moral, they should be considered along with their more ordinary ideas and practices.
