  • Land Reform Is Back on the Agenda
    Issue 12 Summer 2013 Land reform is back on the agenda I think we can all agree that legislation should be reviewed regularly to ensure it is working properly. However in the case of the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003, the review comes much sooner than one may have expected. With regard to expansion of community ownership, there is a view that such activity has been much less than expected and there must be constraints causing that. But, it could just be that community aspirations are already being met without the need for ownership through the establishment of good relationships between communities and local landowners. I would hope that as a modern, forward-thinking estate and a family-owned, land-based business It is surprising that it wasn’t asked Scotland’s large estates, and we are one we have built relationships with specifically to review the effectiveness of those, are of course under scrutiny communities over the years that meet of the 2003 Act, how it’s working, where in this process. But I am confident their aspirations without ownership of it’s not working, and where it might that the good we do, the services we the actual land being a relevant issue. be able to work better.

The record of his birth reads [1] John Lawful son to Andrew Watt and Isobel Wilson in Gardenstown was born Jan 13th bap- -tised the 17th. Witnesses at the Baptism Alexdr Paterson & Gilbert Watt both in Gardenstown Unfortunately, there are no marriage records for the Parish of Gamrie at this time. It is again very frustrating so we can only surmise a wedding year based on the birth of the first child. This is of course not reliable as it seems not uncommon in the fishing communities and occurs in our family history more than once, for the marriage to be soon after the first birth as though women had to prove their fertility before a marriage. ANDREW WATT The potential births for Andrew in the Gamrie OPR are the three detailed below. Given there are two good candidates in Gamrie the Boyndie Parish candidate can reasonably be excluded.
