  • How Board Could Meet Savings Target a BROAD Outline of How NHS Lion Were Required
    THE NHS HIGHLAND STAFF NEWSPAPER June 2016 HighNOVEMBERlights 2015 LONELINESS Four pupils of Drakies Primary School, Inverness, provided the highlight of the most recent meeting of NHS Highland’s board, when they gave a talk on the school’s recently launched community café and on how it is helping to address the wider issue of loneliness and social isolation. The pupils, who were accompanied by headteacher Michelle Taylor, were asked to give the presentation after the school’s participation in the launch of NHS Highland’s ‘Reach Out’ campaign, which is encouraging people to “make a difference for someone who’s lonely”. As well as giving a short speech, the pupils an- swered questions by members of the board, and also asked questions about the Reach Out campaign. For more on Reach Out, see pages 6 and 7.

This was primarily due to its strategic importance as the northern gateway into the Hebrides to the west, and Caithness and Sutherland to the north. The power derived from the earldom’s strategic situation was enhanced by the status of its earls. From 1215 to 1372 the earldom was ruled by an uninterrupted MacTaggart comital dynasty which was able to capitalise on this longevity to establish itself as an indispensable authority in Scotland north of the Forth.

  • Remembering Knockbain Parish Heritage
    Remembering Knockbain Parish Heritage In 2014 people met to explore the heritage of Knockbain Parish on the Black Isle through courses, fieldtrips and sharing memories. In a short period of time, a great deal of information was collected about places in this often overlooked area of the Black Isle. The information in this document was collected during indoor sessions drawing on old maps and photographs, during walks to Munlochy, Kilmuir, Easter Suddie and Belmaduthy, and on visits to Highland Archives and Groam House Museum. Many of the sites are long forgotten, and some are deteriorating. The information has also been submitted to the Highland Council Historical Environment Record (the HER; her.highland.gov.uk), the database of all known heritage in the Highlands, and will lead to the creation of 70 new records. Later it will be submitted to Canmore, the Scottish database of heritage (canmore.rcahms.gov.uk). The group has also produced a walking leaflet for Munlochy Village, available locally. There is still more to learn, and further research and sessions to collect memories would expand this picture. The project was organised by Knockbain Community Council with funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund and Highland Council. Courses and fieldtrips were led by Susan Kruse of ARCH (Archaeology for Communities in the Highlands). We would also like to thank the Highland Archives, Groam House Museum and the Taylor family. But most of all, thanks to the many people who contributed information, either during the sessions or even as we were passing their houses. Archaeology for Communities in the Highlands (ARCH) is a registered Scottish Charity, No.

The woman, traditionally known as Janet Horne, warmed herself, thinking the fire had been lit to take the chill from her bones and not, as was actually intended, to burn her to death. Or so the story goes. This case is well known as the last example of the barbarous practice of burning witches in Scotland. It is also infamous for some of its more unusual characteristics – such as the alleged witch ‘having ridden upon her own daughter’, whom she had ‘transformed into a pony’, and of course, the memorable image of the poor, deluded soul warming herself while the instruments of her death were being prepared. Impressive materials, though the most familiar parts of the story did not appear in print until at least 92 years after the event!1 Ironically, although Gaelic-speaking Scotland has been noted for the relative absence of formal witch persecutions, it has become memorable as the part of Scotland that punished witches later than anywhere else.
