    Agenda 17. Item Report CLH No 39/19 HIGHLAND COUNCIL Committee: Care, Learning and Housing Committee Date: 29 May 2019 Statutory Consultation – Stoer Primary School - Proposal to Report Title: Proceed to Statutory Consultation for Formal Closure Report By: Interim Director of Care and Learning 1. Purpose/Executive Summary 1.1 This report seeks Members’ agreement to proceed to a statutory consultation, under the Schools (Consultation) (Scotland) Act 2010, for formal closure of Stoer Primary School. 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. Background 3.1 Stoer Primary School has been mothballed since July 2016. Current projections suggest a maximum roll of six P1-7 pupils within the school’s catchment over the next few years. 3.2 The Council proposes to proceed to statutory consultation for formal closure of Stoer Primary School. If approved, the Stoer PS catchment area would be re-assigned to that of Lochinver Primary School. 3.3 This proposal is being brought forward following informal consultation with local stakeholders and elected members, and having examined viable alternatives that could be considered. 3.4 The Proposal Paper (Appendix A) and other appendices attached to this Report set out the basis of the proposal, including the educational, community and transport implications associated with it. 3.5 Subject to a Committee decision to proceed to statutory consultation, a public meeting will be held in Stoer to discuss the Council’s proposal, and there will be considerable opportunity for stakeholders to submit views to the Council in advance of any final decision being made.

    Journal of the Geological Society, London, Vol. 150, 1993, pp. 447-464, 10 figs. Printed in Northern Ireland Volume 150 Celebration Paper Unravelling dates through the ages: geochronology of the Scottish metamorphic complexes G. ROGERS 1 & R.J. PANKHURST 2 l lsotope Geology Unit, Scottish Universities Research and Reactor Centre, East Kilbride, Glasgow G75 OQU, UK 2British Antarctic Survey, c/o NERC Isotope Geosciences Laboratory, Kingsley Dunham Centre, Keyworth, Nottingham NG12 5GG, UK Abstract: The paper by Giletti et al. (1961) is seen as a major landmark in the evolution of dating techniques in polymetamorphic terrains. We consider certain critical issues from each of the main complexes of the Scottish Highlands studied by Giletti et al. to illustrate how subsequent develop- ments in geochronological methodology have influenced our understanding of metamorphic belts. Lewisian examples focus on the formation of Archaean crust, and the age of the main high-grade metamorphism and the Scourie dyke swarm. The antiquity of Moinian sedimentation, its relationship to the Torridonian sandstones, and the timing of Precambrian metamorphism have been controversial issues. The timing and nature of Caledonian orogenesis, most clearly expressed in the Dalradian complex, have been the focal points for the refinement of radiometric investigation. These complexes have been subject to successive developments in methodology, with ever-tighter constraints from Rb-Sr and K-Ar mineral dating, through Rb-Sr and Pb-Pb whole-rock studies, U-Pb dating of bulk zircon fractions, and Sm-Nd whole-rock and mineral investigation, up to the latest technologies of single-grain zircon and ion microprobe analysis.

The main burn ran for nearly 10 km in a dog-leg from north of Lochinver (NC0924), north-east to the edge of Loch Beannach (NC1326), and then north- west to the edge of Loch Poll (NC0930), but there were others.

  • Prehistoric Round House Structures in Wester Ross, and in Selected Areas of Skye
    Prehistoric Round House Structures in Wester Ross, and in Selected Areas of Skye Collation and Analysis of Detailed Data with regard to distribution, construction and landscape settings Anna Welti Undergraduate Dissertation University of Aberdeen Dept of Scottish Cultural Studies and Archaeology 2011 This research is dedicated to my father A.G. MacGregor, MC,DSc, FRSE Abstract The aim of this study was to understand the reasons behind the siting and structure of roundhouses in Wester Ross. Some existing records are detailed and some are very brief: inter‐ site comparisons cannot easily be made. The project was designed as a field survey to record roundhouses and their settings in detail. A database would be produced for future researchers. Sketches and photographs were to be included in the record, which was to be formatted in a manner acceptable to Highland Council HER and RCAHMS Canmore. Roundhouse sites proved more numerous than records had suggested, hence the areas in the study were limited to four; Achiltibuie, Gairloch & Poolewe, Badachro, and selected parts of Skye. The sites in other areas of Wester Ross, Lochalsh and part of Skye have been recorded to the same standard and will later be included in the database. The current database includes 234 roundhouse sites and around 100 fields. It was tested with a variety of queries. These produced some informative results about structure, entrance orientations, site locations, enclosures and field systems. Individual clusters of roundhouses were studied to examine whether site differences could indicate chronological depth. These results, together with information from site plots on both Ordnance and Geological maps, as well as from aerial photographs, have given interesting insights into roundhouses and their locations.
