Two nights without sleep, but well worth it – there was lots of interest in the cattle”. Another Luing cattle “missionary” expedition saw Charlie and team set off for Turriff Show in Aberdeenshire, where they learnt that folk in that area have a language all of their own. “One of the fi rst farmers on the stand asked me something which sounded like “an’ fi t wd you do wi’ a’ the heeer?”.

  • Strathyre and Loch Earn
    STRATHYRE AND LOCH EARN SPECIAL QUALITIES OF BREADALBANE STRATHYRE & LOCH EARN Key Features Small flats strips of farmland around watercourses Open upland hills Ben Vorlich and Stuc a’Chroin Loch Lubnaig and Loch Earn Pass of Leny Glen Ogle Landmark historic buildings and heritage sites including Edinample Castle and Dundurn Pictish Hill Fort Summary of Evaluation Sense of Place The visual/sense of place qualities are important. The open upland hills dominate much of this area, with Ben Vorlich and Stuc a’ Chroin the highest peaks, creating an open and vast sense of place with diverse features such as rocky outcrops and scree. Although open uplands are characteristic of much of the highland area of the Park they are distinctive in the Breadalbane area as being generally higher and more unbroken with distinct exposed upper slopes. Loch Earn and Loch Lubnaig are the two main lochs in the area and both have quite distinct characters. Loch Lubnaig is enclosed by heavily planted glen sides and rugged craggy hills such as Ben Ledi and the loch shores are largely undeveloped. Loch Earn in contrast is broad in expanse and flanked by steep hills to the north and south. There are areas of residential, recreational and commercial development along areas of the north and south shore. The flat glen floors are a focus for communication routes and settlement. The flat strips of farmland around the watercourses provide an enclosed landscape which contrasts with the surrounding hills. Cultural Heritage The cultural heritage of the area is of high importance with substantial evidence of continuity of use of the landscape.

It complements the Landscape Character Type descriptions of the 2019 dataset. The original character assessment reports, part of a series of 30, mostly for a local authority area, included a “Background Chapter” on the formation of the landscape. These documents have been revised because feedback said they are useful, despite the fact that other sources of information are now readily available on the internet, unlike in the 1990’s when the first versions were produced. The content of the chapters varied considerably between the reports, and it has been restructured into a more standard format: Introduction, Physical Influences and Human Influences for all areas; and Cultural Influences sections for the majority. Some content variation still remains as the documents have been revised rather than rewritten, The information has been updated with input from the relevant Local Authorities. The historic and cultural aspects have been reviewed and updated by Historic Environment Scotland. Gaps in information have been filled where possible.

This is the second of three (as of April 2004) Clan Gregor deposits: for the first, see Acc.10664; for the third seeAcc.12335. This inventory has been compiled by Sheila McGregor, FSA Scot, for the Clan Gregor Centre. Introduction: This material represents the contribution of a rather small number of active individuals to the Clan Gregor Centre over many years of collecting and compiling. It represent both traditional knowledge and many years of research. It has occasionally been possible to attribute a file to a named individual but in most cases the folders are composite collections from many sources and these are attributed to me in my capacity as curator and general editor. The members of the Clan as a whole, who are extremely numerous, owe the active few a great deal since they have been among the very few to keep hold of their real past and to avoid the romantic escapism that pervades modern Highland culture, if that is the right word. It has been possible, with the support of these few active members and the willing collaboration of the National Library of Scotland, not only to preserve their knowledge but often to extend it since modern research tools have made it sometimes possible to find solutions to long-standing problems.

This is the third of three (as of April 2004) Clan Gregor deposits: for the first, see Acc.10664; for the second see Acc.11713. This inventory has been compiled by Sheila McGregor, FSA Scot, for the Clan Gregor Centre. Introduction This is the third major deposit of material relating to the history and family histories of Clan Gregor, the results of research and a collecting and collating exercise which began c.1989 and which continues. The first deposit of 28 items, Acc.10664, was made in January 1993. The second deposit of a further 83 items was made in February 1999. All those with an interest in this old Clan are vastly indebted to the National Library of Scotland for its willing support of this project. The archive represents the activities of many individuals, under the auspices of the Clan Gregor Centre and the general editorship of Sheila McGregor. The information reflects traditional knowledge, extracts from published sources, some of them rare, and much personal research in public records. Several files are the work of a named individual but in most cases they are composite collections. No previous effort on this scale has ever been made. It may fairly be said that the Clan Gregor Centre's compilation of archival data marks a substantial advance in the state of our understanding an that there should be no excuse for the repetition of errors, particularly in publications by official bodies where one might at least hope for accuracy.
