Committee Minutes 12Th March 2020
May Meeting Postponed Glenlyon and Loch Tay Community Council Draft minutes of the meeting held on 12th March 2020 at Fortingall Present: S.Dolan – Betney (chair), J. Riddell (treasurer), S. Dorey (secretary), J. Polakowska, Cllr J.Duff and 11 members of the public Apologies: K. Douthwaite, W. Graham, Cllr M. Williamson, C. Brook, E. Melrose. Minutes of the meeting held on 9.1.2020 in Fearnan were agreed, proposed by JP, seconded by JR. Finance: Current balance is £363.30 Police Report: Due to operational problems there was no-one available from Police Scotland. No new issues to report. Fearnan sub-area: just waiting for a map, then straightforward. Proposed LDP2 – no specific policies on ‘hutting’. JD provided paper copy of Policy 49:Minerals and Other Extractive Activities – Supply “Financial Guarantees for Mineral Development Supplementary Guidance”, Consultation draft. Closing date for comment March 16th 2020. Roads: Pop up Police Officers – risk assessment to be done prior to locating them near Lawers Hotel & the A827 in Fearnan. Fearnan verge-masters have now been installed by PKC at Letterellan. Glen Lyon road closure now will be June, instead of January. The hill road still the alternative route. Will need work to make it safe, as mentioned by a local resident. Cllrs JD & MW will ensure this happens. Timber Transport Fund will look at a possibility of funding to improve the lay -byes on the Glen road and to widen is slightly, where there are no concealed utility cables, pipes, etc. Flooding near Keltneyburn at Wester Blairish water is flowing over the road which causes problems when it freezes, due, probably, to a blocked field drain. -

Highland Perthshire Through the Archive
A Guide to the History and Culture of Highland Perthshire through the Archive Dick Fotheringham, bell ringer in the Aberfeldy area, c1930s Ref: MS316/31 Perth & Kinross Council Archive 1 Foreword While I have been a member of the Friends of Perth & Kinross Council Archive for some time I only became a Committee member last year. Thus my being asked to become the chair of the Committee at this year’s AGM was, from my perspective, rather rapid promotion! Now I have been given the great honour of writing this foreword to the Friends’ latest publication, a survey and guide to sources of information on every aspect of life in Highland Perthshire as encapsulated in the collections of the Archive. In it you will find a comprehensive overview of the huge range of collections relevant to this topic including history, genealogy, industry, settlements, estates and anything else you may be interested in. Some of the material is “official”, like local authority documents, police and Justice of the Peace records. However, there is also guidance on exploring community-based collections put together by local people who were determined their “story” would live on and be accessible to anyone who was interested. There are also many illustrations of documents of different types with informative notes beside each one. These are, of course, merely a glimpse of the rich and varied sources which exist and can be explored with the help of the staff of the Archive. A feature which we hope will be seen as innovative, and was the brainchild of the authors, is a specimen analysis of a document which is designed to show you what you can learn from it whether you are a family, house or local historian, or just interested in maximising the information that a document can provide. -
