Fauna Polluted dangerous absent or seriously substance restricted Notes relating to classification scheme a - Based on 3 years data, minimum of 12 samples, unless there has been a significant change in circumstances (eg a discharge eliminated) which justifies a 1 year assessment. - Estimation of percentiles for more than 19 samples to be by the non-parametric Wiebull Method. Otherwise the parametric method is used, assuming DO and pH are normal distributions, and BOD and Ammonical Nitrogen are log normal. - For pH the 5, 10 and 95 %iles must be determined from the 3 years data and compared with the class determining limits in the Classification Table. Again, where there are more than 19 samples the percentiles should be estimated by the non- parametric Wiebull Method. Otherwise, the parametric percentile estimation must be made, using the method of moments, and an assumed normal distribution. b - RIVPACS assessment based on data for 1 year, preferably 3 samples (Spring, Summer, Autumn), minimum of 2 (Spring and Summer). c - Based on 1 year’s monitoring data, preferably 3 samples, minimum 2. The overall class to be determined from the mean field score and mean ASPT of the individual samples. d - Aesthetic conditions to be based on 1 year’s monitoring data and will be assessed and recorded during biological and/or chemical visits. The points should be representative of the general quality of the watercourse reach. Aesthetic contamination to be assessed as either discharge related (List A) or general (List B). List A contaminants List B contaminants Sewage derived litter and solids, including General non sewage derived litter - faeces Builders waste - toilet paper Gross litter, including - contraceptives - shopping trolleys - sanitary towels - furniture - tampons - motor vehicles - cotton buds - road cones Oils - bicycles/prams Non natural foam, scum or colour Sewage fungus Sewage or oily smells e - No List A contaminants, possibly minor List B litter present. f - Traces of List A and /or occasional List B contamination, especially at easy access points. g - List A contamination widespread and/or occasional conspicuous quantities, and/or gross amounts of List B contamination. Likely to be the cause of justified public complaints.

  • Lowest Temperature 10 January 1982
    Sunday 10 January 1982 (Lowest recorded temperature in the United Kingdom) Weather chart for 1200 UTC on 10 January 1982 General summary After a mostly dry night, Northern Ireland and much of Scotland had a dry, bright and frosty day, though there were snow and hail showers in the extreme north of Scotland. It was very cold, with a very severe overnight frost. The temperature at Braemar, equalled the record, (also set in Braemar on 11 February 1895) for the lowest officially recorded temperature in Britain (-27.2 °C). Wales and much of England was dry and bright, though southern counties were cloudy, with rain, sleet or snow in South West England. It was bitterly cold with a keen easterly wind adding to the severity of the overnight frost, whilst in Shropshire, sheltered from the wind by hills to the east, the temperature fell to a new English record low of -26.1 °C at Newport. Significant weather event The minimum temperature of -27.2 °C at Braemar, Aberdeenshire, equalled the previous lowest officially recorded temperature in Britain which was also set at Braemar on 11 February 1895. This temperature was equalled again at Altnaharra, Highland, on 30 December 1995. Lowest temperatures in Scotland: Braemar, Aberdeenshire -27.2 °C Lagganlia, Inverness-shire -24.1 °C Balmoral, Aberdeenshire -23.5 °C Lowest temperatures in England: Newport, Shropshire -26.1 °C Shawbury, Shropshire -20.8 °C Maps from the daily weather summary showing the minimum and maximum temperatures for 10th January 1982.

GENERAL HISTORY SOCIAL HISTORY FAMILY HISTORY OCCUPATIONS ENVIRONMENT RELIGION MISCELLANEOUS Origins ORIGINS In prehistoric times, the natural place to settle would have been by the river Avon with its fertile holms and abundance of natural PRE-HISTORY resources. Evidence of early man can be found throughout the parish, enabling us to build a picture of how the community of Stonehouse developed over the centuries. The fact that a stone cist was found in the old kirk cemetery in 1937, confirms this site as a CASTLES place of pagan burial.

  • Information Bulletin
    NORTH EAST SCOTLAND TRANSPORT PARTNERSHIP – 16 December 2013 8 Information Bulletin Purpose of Report The purpose of this report is to provide information and updates for the Board on a number of matters not requiring decision. Prestwick Airport Members may be aware from press reports that the Scottish Government has agreed to the temporary running of Prestwick Airport as a nationalised operation. Rab Dickson attended the Cross-Party Group on Aviation meeting in the Scottish Parliament on 27 November where it was emphasised that the Government are not in the business of running airports, that the acquisition is seen as a temporary measure until an operator can be found and that there is no intention to compete for business with commercial airports. Representatives from Glasgow and Edinburgh Airports did express concern at the possibility of anti-competitiveness issues, but seemed satisfied with the assurances given. Implications for Aberdeen International Airport are probably minimal. Access to Laurencekirk Study Derick Murray, along with Ewan Wallace and William Munro of Aberdeenshire Council, met with various representatives of the Laurencekirk community on 14 November at Mearns Community Centre to explain the study that Nestrans is commissioning in partnership with Aberdeenshire Council and Transport Scotland to develop a robust evidence case and progress a preferred option to improve access between the A90 and Laurencekirk. It is felt that the meeting was appreciated and that the requirement for the study and the fact that local input will be a key element of the STAG process was in the main understood and welcomed. It was asked however if there are any interim measures that can be introduced to improve safety on the A90 Trunk Road at this location in advance of a long term solution being brought forward and delivered and a letter has been sent to Transport Scotland to seek their response to this request.

  • The Orkney Hotel Whisky Menu
    THE ORKNEY HOTEL WHISKY MENU ORKNEY MALTS Orkney’s rugged and windswept character has shaped some of Scotland’s most distinct and warming malt whiskies. Highland Park 12yr (40%) From Scotland’s northernmost distillery comes a full flavoured Malt. With a nose of malt, sherry and peat, a palate of smoke, heather and other earthy elements. Highland Park 15yr (43%) Highland Park 15 has a remarkable complex nose with notes of camphor, peat and citrus fruits and flowers. The drying sensation on the finish leaves a rich smoky feeling and the immediate desire to refill your glass. Highland Park 18yr (43%) Burnished gold in colour with a rich, mature oak and aromatic smoke aroma. It has a rich, full flavour, honey and peat taste and a soft, round and long finish. Highland Park 21yr (47.5%) Drawing its incredible character from predominantly American oak casks which have been seasoned with sherry, this 21 year old is a truly dynamic whisky with an intensely fruity and spicy centre, surrounded by complex layers of candied orange peel, dark chocolate and rich, slightly drier smoke. A malt that rewards patience and delivers experience like no other. Highland Park 25yr (50.7%) With its golden dark red colour and very rich, mature oak, chocolate fudge aroma, this whisky is universally acclaimed, by the critics as one of the great single malts. It has a full, rich burst of flavours, soft honey and nutty toffee and a long and surprisingly sweet finish for its age. Highland Park 30yr (48.1%) 30 years ago after deciding to lay down the casks that would go on to become the heart of this exceptional whisky and over these 3 decades, the whisky maturing inside them has developed an outstanding balance, with a seductive sweetness and extremely delicate smoke.

  • Chapter Eight the Stones of the Southern Highlands
    Chapter Eight The Stones of the Southern Highlands Moving on from the stones of the Lowlands and the Southern Uplands, the last stone encountered, the Wallace Putting Stone could easily have been included in this section and certainly when standing on Sheriffmuir, the expanse of the Southern Highlands to the north are so close and almost tangible. There are no distinguishing boundaries for the stones in this section and as a base either the towns of Callander or Aberfeldy should be considered. All but one of the stones are located in the ancient county of Perthshire although some through boundary changes are now in Stirlingshire but regardless, in the days when the Gaelic was spoken and stones were lifted this was entirely Perthshire. The majority of these stones are hemmed in by one of the major trunk roads to the Highlands and the A9 gives access to many of the stones mentioned. If making a tour of the stones, and including the Wallace Putting Stone, an almost oval loop allows testing them all within a day without too much travelling by car. From the Wallace Putting Stone it is 40 mins to the Sadlin Mare and then less than 30 mins to the Menzies Stone. From here it is 30 mins to the famed Bodach in Glen Lyon and 60 mins later the Ardvorlich Stone followed by a short 15 min drive to Balquhidder for the Puterach. This circuit, which has now been carried out on a more than a few occasions has been referred to as the “Perthshire Loop” and any stone lifting visit to Scotland would probably commence on the same lines.
