THE PINNING STONES Culture and Community in Aberdeenshire
THE PINNING STONES Culture and community in Aberdeenshire When traditional rubble stone masonry walls were originally constructed it was common practice to use a variety of small stones, called pinnings, to make the larger stones secure in the wall. This gave rubble walls distinctively varied appearances across the country depend- ing upon what local practices and materials were used.

Projects Funded
NorthConnect Legacy Fund Summary of Awards 2017-2020 Between 2017 and 2020, £59,907 has been awarded by the NorthConnect Legacy Fund to community groups benefiting the Fund area. Some examples showing the range of activities funded are shown below, followed by a full list of awards. Aberdeenshire Sailing Trust: Rescue boat engine In 2017, the Fund awarded Aberdeenshire Sailing Trust £1,000 towards a rescue boat engine to support activities taking place at the Trust’s Peterhead centre. The cover provided by the rescue boat meant that the Trust was able to deliver taster sessions for schools, RYA courses, race training and RYA junior sailing courses. The boat supported disabled schools sailing and weekly disability club. 538 people of various ages benefited. The vital role of the rescue boat was highlighted in an incident in September 2019, when a sudden squall caused three dinghies to capsize, throwing ten teenage sailors into the water. This prompted the emergency services to launch a large scale response, involving helicopters and lifeboats. However, the Trust’s instructors were able to use the rescue boat to get everybody quickly and safely ashore without injury or the assistance of emergency services. Following the incident, the Buchan Coastguard issued a statement saying that “This incident had the potential to be far more serious in outcome except for some key factors… We would like to thank those involved for being properly equipped.” Press and Journal; 6 September 2019; Instructors praised as 10 teens rescued from North Sea in ‘violent storms’. Mintlaw Academy Therapeutic Garden In 2017, the Fund awarded the Mintlaw Academy Therapeutic Garden £400 toward fencing and equipment.

The Friends of the Book of Deer arranged their 32nd Seminar for the afternoon of Saturday the 24th September at 2 30pm in the Kemp Hall, Old Deer. Laura Dorantt ,a researcher currently working in Mintlaw library delivered her paper - Stuartfield and Crichie: an Historical Relationship - which she originally presented during a Conference in the U.S.A. The Conference was “ Dimensions of Political Ecology “ and the talk featured in the Rural –Urban Interfaces Session and was well received. “Between 1725 and 1850, some 450 planned villages were founded throughout Scotland of which 100 or so were built in the northeast. The planned village of Stuartfield is in the Buchan district of Aberdeenshire and is surrounded by the Crichie estate, which in the 21 st century continues as a working farm estate. The lands of Crichie and Dens have been owned and managed by the Burnett Stuart family since around 1700. Mr John Burnett Stuart, a linen merchant and the then laird of the Crichie estate, built Stuartfield for theWhat purpose did she say? of Denissettling is caught workers by surprise to work as he in his bleaching fields.

Communications Market Report: Scotland
ul Communications Market Report: Scotland Research Document Publication date: 19 August 2010 Introduction This is Ofcom’s fifth annual review of communications markets in Scotland. The report offers a detailed overview of communications services across the nation. It provides a comparison of their take-up and use within different parts of Scotland, and compares this with other UK nations. Nearly eight in ten people (79%) claimed to have a mobile handset in Q1 2010, ten percentage points lower than the UK-wide average. A 2G mobile signal covers 87% of people in Scotland relative to the UK figure of 97%. Higher-speed 3G mobile, which is available to 87% of the UK population, covers 66% of the Scottish population. With mobile signals focusing on densely populated regions of Scotland, and influenced by topography, geographic coverage tends to be lower in Scotland (64% for 2G and 41% for 3G) than elsewhere in the UK (91% 2G and 76% 3G). Sixty-one per cent claim to have broadband in Scotland, still below the UK average (71%), with the gap widening by two percentage points over the last twelve months. Cable broadband is available to 37% of the population (versus 48% of the UK as a whole), while most fixed exchanges in Scotland now support broadband. But the actual speeds experienced by consumers depend on a variety of factors. These include the length of the line from the exchange to a customer’s premises, and the number of people connected to a single exchange who are logged on to the internet concurrently. As competition between communications providers intensifies, a growing proportion of homes are taking services in bundles of two or more.
