On behalf of the citizens of the Royal and Ancient Burgh of Stirling, I extend a cordial welcome to you and sincerely hope that you will have a most enjoyable stay in our Burgh.

I send you my most warm greetings and good wishes for a successful Mod and look forward to having the pleasure of meeting many of you during your visit. 27 Snowdon Place, Stirling, — 5 — For readers who read the Scotsman undoubtedly presupposes an ability—even a willingness—to read. Pictures there are, certainly. Excellent ones. And captions too—which agreeably explain. But by and large the Scotsman depends on the written word. But it is the gift of the Scotsman to inform with wit, good humour and compassion. When you read the Scotsman you getfacts without favour, comment without prejudice, informa- tion with a light and lucid touch. It presents even the most ponderous subjects in plain and pleasurable prose. Indeed, the Scotsman is a plain pleasure to read. Daily. AN COMUNN GAIDHEALAGH Patron—Her Majesty The Queen.

  • An Gleann's Robh Mi Og
    An Gleann's robh mi og When I was a child my great grandmother Christina MacLachlan lived alone in a tiny cottage in Tobermory which consisted of just two rooms, a bedroom and a living room which also served as the kitchen. There was a stone sink with single cold water tap that was used for all purposes and a tiny ‘Baby Belling’ electric stove for cooking and heating water. It was all in stark contrast to my parents’ home on the edge of London. What I didn’t realize was that with electricity and mains water this represented luxury compared with the life she had known at Glendrian where she had raised her six children who would be the last of the many MacLachlan generations to have lived at the tiny township. Chrissie, the youngest of her children wrote a description of Glendryen in a school exercise book / diary when she was in Senior 1, Class IV, at the Achosnich Public School, Ardnamurchan in 1924. It contains perfect handwriting, arithmetic, and drawings, etc. In a piece entitled ‘ An Gleann's robh mi og .’ which means something like ‘Historic Glendryen’ she stated: "The generation of MacLachlans now in Glendryen is the 10th or 11th generation of that clan to have lived there" and went on to give the numbers of Stock, i.e. cows, horses, calves, etc. at both Glendrian and Plocaig. It is difficult to put a precise time to the period of occupation by our family in that men folk often married later rather than earlier in life.

  • Consultation of Proposals for Overprovision Statement 2013-16
    The Highland Licensing Board Agenda 4 Item Meeting – 27 August 2013 Report HLB/107/13 No Consultation on Proposals for Overprovision Statement 2013-16 Report by the Clerk to the Board Summary Following receipt of the evidence and recommendations submitted by NHS Highland attached at Appendix 1 and a further assessment of crime statistics submitted by Police Scotland attached at Appendix 2, the Board is invited to agree options in relation to proposals for an Overprovision Statement on which to consult statutory consultees and the public and to agree an appropriate consultation period. 1. Background 1.1 On 7 August 2013, the Board agreed proposals for the process of developing a statement under section 7 of the Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005 (the “Act) as to the extent to which the Board considers there to be overprovision of licensed premises, or licensed premises of a particular description, in any locality within the Board’s area. This process involved first ingathering evidence, where available, in relation to all of the five licensing objectives, with the assistance, in particular, of NHS Highland and Northern Constabulary – now part of Police Scotland. 1.2 The ingathering and analysis of evidence has taken longer than was initially anticipated and has not been an easy task. This is particularly because of the differences in the way in which data on alcohol-related harm is and has been collected by the various agencies in Highland, some being collected at intermediate geography/data zone level but some being collected at multimember ward level or, in the case of crime statistics, at police area level or police beat level.

  • HMS Dorlin Timeline
    rd HMS Dorlin and the 3 British Infantry Division. HMS Dorlin was a wartime naval shore establishment based on six estate houses; Dorlin, Roshven, Shielbridge, Salen, Glencripesdale and Glenborrodale. They are located in the extreme south of an isolated area between Loch Hourn and Loch Shiel called The Rough Bounds, comprising Knoydart, Morar, Arisaig and Moidart. In the 18th Century it was largely Catholic and Jacobin, with ownership disputed between the Macdonalds of Clanranald, whose traditional seat was Castle Tioram that dates from the 13th Century, and the Macdonells of Glengarry. Both claimants were descendants of the 12th Century King Somerled (Summer Traveller which is a kenning for Viking), whose dynasty became The Lord of the Isles, who was subservient only to the Kings of England and Scotland. The present titular holder is Charles, Prince of Wales. After the 1745 rebellion the government recruited highland regiments who, by accepting the Hanoverian King's shilling, were 'suborned' and lost the temptation to revolt. Like the rest of the Highlands, the Rough Bounds were largely denuded of people during the 19th Century Highland Clearances to the benefit of PEI and Nova Scotia in Canada, becoming as a result a vast sheep ranch and preserve of the rich for hunting, shooting & fishing. The land on which Dorlin House was built belonged in 1811 to Ranald George Macdonald, 19th Chief of the Clan Macdonald of Clanranald and MP. He had become an associate of the extravagant and dissolute Prince Regent, and to fund his lifestyle sold for ￡213,211 all of the traditional lands he had inherited except the ruinous Castle Tioram.

  • Ardnamurchan Peninsula, Highland
    Ardnamurchan Peninsula, Argyll and Bute The Ardnamurchan Peninsula is one of the best areas for watching mammals in Britain. With a bit of luck Wildcat, Pine Marten, Otter and a diverse selection of other species may be seen. Ardnamurchan Peninsula is best reached via the Corran-Ardgour ferry, off the A82, 13 miles south of Fort William. Otters are occasionally seen from the ferry. From Ardgour, drive south-west along Loch Linne (both Grey Seal and Common Seal can be seen on the rocks along this stretch of road) and then west through Glen Tarbert along the B861. Shortly before you reach Strontian you reach the start of Loch Sunart. Otters occur in this area. From Strontian continue west along Loch Sunart (B861) through Ardnastang and Resipole to Salen. It is worth stopping several times to scan for seals, Otters, and Harbour Porpoise, which has been seen as far east as Salen. Water Shrews also occur on the shore of Loch Sunart to the east of Salen. American Mink occur commonly along Loch Sunart. In Salen turn left on the B8007 towards Glenborrodale and Point of Ardnamurchan. The road continues to skirt Loch Sunart and it is worth stopping regularly to look for seals, Otters etc. After seven miles or so the road goes through Glenborrodale where Pine Marten have reared young in the roof of the hotel. Two miles further west you pass the Glenmore Natural History Centre on the left (NM.586.624). It is worth stopping here (open from early May to late September) to ask about recent sightings.
