In January of 2018 we learned that the plan to film in Cambusbarron had officially been abandoned. “The Outlander production team earlier sought permission to build [the Fraser’s Ridge] set in woods outside Cambusbarron, near Stirling. “However, this plan is no longer going ahead.” https://www.scotsman.com/news/outlander-cast-and-crew-return-to-fife-village-1-4669949 It is unclear whether the Outlander production team withdrew their request, or whether the Cambusbarron Community Council denied them permission to film in the area. Basically, it doesn’t matter. Cambusbarron is NOT an Outlander Season Four film site. To avoid renumbering all subsequent chapters, we replaced the original, full-length Cambusbarron chapter with a starkly abbreviated version in Outlandish Scotland Journey Part Four. Having spent weeks researching and writing it, however, we hated the idea of simply discarding it. So, we didn’t! Beginning on the next page, you’ll find this chapter’s original, 2017 manuscript. Outlandish Scotland Journey Cambusbarron Original 2017 Chapter 3 Cambusbarron: Site #31 Outlander Season FOUR Film Site—Maybe! [Internet-posted pic, ©unknown segment (enhanced)] This chapter is published as a “work in progress” because nothing has been filmed here—as of this writing.

  • Review of Polling Districts and Polling Places
    THIS REPORT RELATES STIRLING COUNCIL TO ITEM 8 ON THE AGENDA STIRLING COUNCIL CIVIC SERVICES 8 October 1998 NOT EXEMPT REVIEW OF POLLING DISTRICTS AND POLLING PLACES 1 PURPOSE 1.1 To seek approval of the polling places and polling districts detailed in the polling scheme attached as Appendix 1. 2 SUMMARY 2.1 Stirling Council is required to divide its local government area into polling districts and to designate the polling places for those polling districts. On 5 March 1998 the Council considered the Boundary Commission’s proposals for the division of the Stirling Local Government Area into 22 electoral wards as part of the statutory review of electoral boundaries. The Commission has recently published its final recommendations for the Stirling Council area which are the subject of a separate report on the Agenda. 2.2 The Secretary of State has indicated that the Local Government elections and the elections to the Scottish Parliament will take place on 6 May 1999, with the local elections conducted on the basis of the new electoral wards. As a result, new polling districts and polling places for the new wards require to be confirmed to allow the 1999 draft register of electors to be prepared and subsequently published. 2.3 On 25 June 1998, the Council considered a report outlining the preliminary work undertaken by Officers in looking at the location, suitability and availability of premises within the new electoral wards which could serve as polling places. The proposed polling places were approved in principle to assist the process of drafting polling districts.
