JAMES MACDOUGALL Sometime Minister of Duror " Author of " Craignish Tales," and " Folk and Hero Tales EDITED WITH INTRODUCTION AND NOTES By Rev. GEORGE CALDER, B.D. Minister of Strathfillan " Author of "The Irish iEneid Honorary Member of the Caledonian Medical Society EDINBURGH: JOHN GRANT 31 GEORGE IV. BRIDGE 1910 TO THE CALEDONIAN MEDICAL SOCIETY, DISTINGUISHED ALIKE FOR PROFESSIONAL SKILL AND FOR HEREDITARY INTEREST IN THE HIGHLANDS, THIS VOLUME OF HIGHLAND TRADITIONS IS RESPECTFULLY INSCRIBED BY THE EDITOR. EDITOR'S PREFACE. I HAVE pleasure in acknowledging my indebtedness to Mrs. MacDougall for her whole-hearted interest in the progress of the work from first to last, for transcribmg the English Text, and for approving numerous minor changes in expression, which I had suggested, and thus relieving me from the sole responsibility of making those changes. It is but right to say, however, that as the work advanced through the press, I felt impelled to make the alterations in the text, and especially in the translation, much more thorough-going than I had at first contemplated. In the Gaelic text I have endeavoured to simplify the spelling, and therefore excluded such MS. forms as daramh (dara), 'san t-seallamh ('san t-sealladh), a' deanadh (deanamh), o'n taice so (tac) p. 1 68, romh (roimh), sid (sud). Fhalbh (p. 32) remains as probably the correct form of thallaibh. The final vowel of fern, a stems has been printed in full, as also of the verbal perfects cuala, faca; and, latterly, whenever possible, the substitution of commas for letters, or words, has been avoided.

  • Population Change in Lochaber 2001 to 2011
    The Highland Council Agenda 5 Item Lochaber Area Committee Report LA/2/14 No 27 February 2014 Population Change in Lochaber 2001 To 2011 Report by Director of Planning and Development Summary This report presents early results from the 2011 Census, giving local information on the number and ages of people living within Lochaber. It compares these figures with those from 2001 to show that the population has “aged”, and that there is a large number of people who are close to retirement age. The population of Lochaber has grown by 6.1% (compared to the Highland average of 11.1%) with an increase in both Wards, and at a local level in 18 out of 27 data zones. Local population growth is strongly linked to the building of new homes. 1. Background 1.1. Publication of the results from the 2011 Census began in December 2012, and the most recent published in November and December 2013 gave the first detailed results for “census output areas”, the smallest areas for which results are published. These detailed results have enabled preparation of the first 2011 Census profiles and these are available for Wards, Associated School Groups, Community Councils and Settlement Zones on the Highland Council’s website at: http://www.highland.gov.uk/yourcouncil/highlandfactsandfigures/census2011.htm 1.2. This report returns to some earlier results and looks at how the age profile of the Lochaber population and the total numbers have changed at a local level (datazones). The changes for Highland are summarised in Briefing Note 57 which is attached at Appendix 1.

  • Sulfide Mineralogy in the Ballachulish Contact Metamorphic Aureole
    Stockholm University Bachelor Thesis (15 hp) November 2012 Sulfide mineralogy in the Ballachulish contact metamorphic Aureole Ossian Åström View towards Beinn a’ Bheithir, Ballachulish Igneous complex, across Loch Leven. ©Bob Hamilton. Abstract 16 samples of increasing metamorphic grade from the Ballachulish Igneous Complex and Aureole, located in the west of Scotland, were studied in order to analyze the sulfide mineralogy and to what extent they were affected by contact metamorphism. The samples were collected from two lithologies, the Creran Succession and the Ballachulish Slate lithology, as well as from the igneous complex. The sulfides of main interest in the samples are pyrite and pyrrhotite. At the onset of contact metamorphism, pyrite disappears while pyrrhotite gets more abundant as metamorphic grade increases. Pyrrhotite also undergoes multiple changes such as 1) elongation and thinning of the grains, 2) development of 120° grain-boundaries, 3) development of pyrite-zones within the pyrrhotite and 4) the decomposition of pyrrhotite and alignment of pyrite along its grain-boundaries at high temperature. The elongation of the grains occurs in both the Creran Succession and the Ballachulish Slate. The rest of the textures, however, can only be found in the Creran Succession. The two lithologies differ by the high graphite content in the Ballachulish Slate. The elongated grains as well as the pyrite inclusions in the pyrrhotite both are strong evidence of recrystallization. The absence of pyrite in the Ballachulish Slate was most probably caused by the buffering properties of the graphite-rich fluid in these rocks, causing more reducing conditions. There is evidence against a heavy, pervasive fluid flow through the aureole.

  • Proposal for Gaelic Medium Catchment, Acharacle Primary School
    Agenda 13. Item Report EDU/14/21 No HIGHLAND COUNCIL Committee: Education Committee Date: 20 May 2021 Statutory Consultation – Proposal for Gaelic Medium Report Title: Catchment, Acharacle Primary School Report By: Executive Chief Officer Education and Learning 1. Purpose/Executive Summary 1.1 This report seeks Members agreement to conduct a statutory consultation proposing the establishment of a Gaelic Medium (GM) catchment area for Acharacle Primary School. 1.2 Currently there are pupils who live in the Strontian Primary School catchment who attend GME at Acharacle Primary School. Including the Strontian catchment in the proposed GM catchment therefore reflects existing practice that has developed on an informal basis. 2. Recommendations 2.1 Members are asked to agree to proceed to statutory consultation, on the basis of the proposal attached to this report. 3. Implications 3.1 Resource - The proposal seeks to maximise access to GME whilst still considering and balancing financial implications, particularly with regard to school transport. No additional costs are envisaged at present as a result of the proposal. 3.2 Legal - The Proposal will be issued for statutory consultation as required by the Schools (Consultation) (Scotland) Act 2010. It also complies with the provisions for school transport set out within the Education (Scotland) Act 1980; with the provisions relating to GME contained within the Education (Scotland) Act 2016; and with statutory guidance on the creation of GM catchment areas, issued by Bòrd na Gàidhlig. 3.3 Community (Equality, Poverty and Rural) - There are no specific impacts on equality, poverty or rural issues, beyond those already considered as part of access to GME.
