  • Railways List
    A guide and list to a collection of Historic Railway Documents www.railarchive.org.uk to e mail click here December 2017 1 Since July 1971, this private collection of printed railway documents from pre grouping and pre nationalisation railway companies based in the UK; has sought to expand it‟s collection with the aim of obtaining a printed sample from each independent railway company which operated (or obtained it‟s act of parliament and started construction). There were over 1,500 such companies and to date the Rail Archive has sourced samples from over 800 of these companies. Early in 2001 the collection needed to be assessed for insurance purposes to identify a suitable premium. The premium cost was significant enough to warrant a more secure and sustainable future for the collection. In 2002 The Rail Archive was set up with the following objectives: secure an on-going future for the collection in a public institution reduce the insurance premium continue to add to the collection add a private collection of railway photographs from 1970‟s onwards provide a public access facility promote the collection ensure that the collection remains together in perpetuity where practical ensure that sufficient finances were in place to achieve to above objectives The archive is now retained by The Bodleian Library in Oxford to deliver the above objectives. This guide which gives details of paperwork in the collection and a list of railway companies from which material is wanted. The aim is to collect an item of printed paperwork from each UK railway company ever opened.

  • NBG Report for KCC Meeting 21 Feb 2018 There Have Few Visible
    NBG Report for KCC Meeting 21 Feb 2018 There have few visible changes in connectivity over the last month. The status of the cabinets in the various villages also remains unchanged but on the same plan as last month. Detail from last month’s Broadband Delivery Group meeting is below. For Killearn, the connectivity of premises and the status of the 2 possible further cabinets is unchanged from last month. The locations remain unknown. Premises within G63 9LA, G63 9NP, G63 9PD, G63 9PT, G63 9QG, G63 9QN, G63 9QT, G63 9QY, G63 9RQ & G63 9SQ are shown as Accepting Orders, subject to line length as to whether the service will actually be available. In Balfron no premises appear to have had upgraded connections in the past month. Balmaha premises are again unchanged this month. In Blanefield/Strathblane no premises appear to have had upgraded connections in the past month but some postcodes are now showing that the both the first cabinets (G63 9BY and G63 9JW) need to be expanded. In Buchlyvie, there are no changes this month although almost all premises are now connected. Some are acknowledged as having slower speeds than desirable. Drymen premises have not changed status this month. Croftamie premises also appear unchanged. Properties on the G63 0NH postcode, covering parts of Gartness and Balfron Station and connected to the Drymen exchange appear to be Accepting Orders although they are on very long lines and are in a future plan to use FTTP technology to deliver faster speeds. Some premises on the A811 towards Gartocharn from the A809 junction near Drymen are now showing as Accepting Orders, although some of these are on long lines and so will probably not actually get the service.

  • Early History, Chapter 1 (PDF)
    FROM THE WOLVES TO THE WEAVERS From the Wolves to the Weavers A tapestry of dense forest sweeps down from the volcanic fells to the south before sloping up towards the high ground of the Ibert, the place of sacrifice, where the men of the village have assembled. Ritual incantations are pierced by the frightened screams of children in the clearing in the woods below, sending the villagers scampering towards the cluster of dwellings which is their home. A scene of savage devastation meets them and the eerie silence is broken only by the ominous, satisfied howl of the wolves which have taken the village‟s children. Balfron from the Ibert (courtesy of St.Andrew‟s University Library) Of the various claims as to how Balfron was named, the story of “bail‟-a- bhroin”, the village of mourning, is probably the least credible and yet it is the accepted origin. “Town of the meeting streams” and “Town of the 1 FROM THE WOLVES TO THE WEAVERS drizzling rain”1 may be more plausible to the geographer or historian, but it is the wolf which was until the early 1990s emblazoned, incongruously enough, on the High School uniform and it is the wolf which is used by the organizations such as the Women‟s Rural Institute to symbolise their village. The simple reason why this should be the case is that, being handed down by word of mouth, it made the best story. More disquieting explanations for the acceptance of the tragic tale of the disappearing children appear in both the 13th and 17th century, as we shall discover later in this chapter.

  • NBG Report for KCC Meeting 19 Apr 2017
    NBG Report for KCC Meeting 19 Apr 2017 Further progress! The new fibre cabinet at the Killearn exchange is now live, accepting orders, and some residents have already got the service installed and working. Speeds are reported to be as expected at 30Mbps or more. So if you live in “The Trees”, nearby, or in the centre of the village, you should be able to get “super-fast broadband! About 50% of postcodes in the village are now connected to one of the fibre cabinets. Status of your individual connectivity can be checked on either of the WhereandWhen pages of the BT Openreach or Digital Scotland websites or in the tables at the end of this report. This site is also showing a download of the exchange roll-out list, but as this is only at exchange level, it doesn’t help very much. NOTE: Remember the Digital Scotland “Better Broadband Scheme” provides a subsidy to establish a better connection using either satellite or wireless for those currently getting download speeds of less than 2Mbps. See the KCC website for specific links. Balfron has also got more cabinets with 85% of the village now showing as “Accepting Orders”. Strathblane/Blanefield is in a similar position with slightly over 85% of the village covered. Buchlyvie has nearly 90% showing as connected while Croftamie/Drymen is showing nearly 60% Accepting Orders. All this does have to be qualified though as many premises are on long lines, and whilst they will see a significant benefit in speed (double or better), they will not achieve “super-fast” speeds.
