REASON FOR REPORT 1.1 To inform the Council of BT’s proposed removal of 14 payphones in Moray and seek approval for the Council’s response to BT. 1.2 Whilst delegated authority for this subject matter lies with the Economic Development & Infrastructure Committee/Policy & Resources, due to the timescale for response it is being brought to Moray Council for consideration. 2. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Council:- (i) object to the removal of 4 BT payphones which the Council had previously objected to in 2016, namely: Califer Road/Pilmuir Road in Forres; Victoria Street in Craigellachie; Covesea Road in Elgin; and The Square in Tomintoul; (ii) agrees that 2 of the traditional red phone boxes at Auchenhalrig and Cabrach are adopted by their respective local community groups; and (iii) agrees to BT’s proposed removal of the 8 remaining payphones on the list. 3. BACKGROUND 3.1 BT has stated that it would not remove public payphones from the following areas: • suicide hotspots; • accident hotspots; • no mobile phone coverage on all four networks or • within 400 metres of the coast. 3.2 In addition BT has stated it would not remove a public payphone where there is a “reasonable need”. BT defines this as having the following three conditions all applying: - The only payphone within 800 metres - Had at least 12 phone calls within the last year - More than 500 households within 1 kilometre of the payphone 3.3 A previous report to Moray Council on 7 December 2016 (para 16 refers) reported that BT had proposed to remove 59 payphones from Moray.

  • FINALISED Area Profile 2015
    Duffus, Moray Area profile Duffus (Scottish Gaelic: Dubhais) is a village in Moray to the north-west of Elgin. The Duffus name has undergone a variety of spelling changes through the years; in 1290, "Dufhus", and in 1512, "Duffous". The name is possibly a compilation of two Gaelic words, dubh and uisg, meaning "darkwater" or "blackwater". The current village is a grid plan village established as a planned settlement in 1811, replacing an earlier medieval settlement which lay 0.25 miles to the east, of which only the ruined Old Parish Church remains. Nearby are the remains of Duffus Castle, St. Peters' Kirk, and Spynie Palace. © Crown Copyright 2016 Also nearby is Gordonstoun School which is a co-educational independent (public) school where three generations of British royalty have been educated including the Duke of Edinburgh and the Prince of Wales.

  • The Cistercian Abbey of Coupar Angus, C.1164-C.1560
    1 The Cistercian Abbey of Coupar Angus, c.1164-c.1560 Victoria Anne Hodgson University of Stirling Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2016 2 3 Abstract This thesis is an examination of the Cistercian abbey of Coupar Angus, c.1164-c.1560, and its place within Scottish society. The subject of medieval monasticism in Scotland has received limited scholarly attention and Coupar itself has been almost completely overlooked, despite the fact that the abbey possesses one of the best sets of surviving sources of any Scottish religious house. Moreover, in recent years, long-held assumptions about the Cistercian Order have been challenged and the validity of Order-wide generalisations disputed. Historians have therefore highlighted the importance of dedicated studies of individual houses and the need to incorporate the experience of abbeys on the European ‘periphery’ into the overall narrative. This thesis considers the history of Coupar in terms of three broadly thematic areas. The first chapter focuses on the nature of the abbey’s landholding and prosecution of resources, as well as the monks’ burghal presence and involvement in trade. The second investigates the ways in which the house interacted with wider society outside of its role as landowner, particularly within the context of lay piety, patronage and its intercessory function. The final chapter is concerned with a more strictly ecclesiastical setting and is divided into two parts. The first considers the abbey within the configuration of the Scottish secular church with regards to parishes, churches and chapels. The second investigates the strength of Cistercian networks, both domestic and international.

The start of the year was marked by the appearance of our first Nuthatch, a species currently expanding its range in Scotland. Unusual wildfowl in the first winter period included two long-staying Smews, up to five Surf Scoters and a Green-winged Teal. Waxwings were widespread in small numbers and the first of two Mediterranean Gulls for the year was a striking adult on Loch Spynie. Spring arrivals continued the early trend of recent years with record early dates for Swift, Cuckoo, Sedge Warbler and Spotted Flycatcher.

  • A History of the Lairds of Grant and Earls of Seafield
    t5^ %• THE RULERS OF STRATHSPEY GAROWNE, COUNTESS OF SEAFIELD. THE RULERS OF STRATHSPEY A HISTORY OF THE LAIRDS OF GRANT AND EARLS OF SEAFIELD BY THE EARL OF CASSILLIS " seasamh gu damgean" Fnbemess THB NORTHERN COUNTIES NEWSPAPER AND PRINTING AND PUBLISHING COMPANY, LIMITED 1911 M csm nil TO CAROLINE, COUNTESS OF SEAFIELD, WHO HAS SO LONG AND SO ABLY RULED STRATHSPEY, AND WHO HAS SYMPATHISED SO MUCH IN THE PRODUCTION OP THIS HISTORY, THIS BOOK IS AFFECTIONATELY DEDICATED BY THE AUTHOR. PREFACE The material for " The Rulers of Strathspey" was originally collected by the Author for the article on Ogilvie-Grant, Earl of Seafield, in The Scots Peerage, edited by Sir James Balfour Paul, Lord Lyon King of Arms. A great deal of the information collected had to be omitted OAving to lack of space. It was thought desirable to publish it in book form, especially as the need of a Genealogical History of the Clan Grant had long been felt. It is true that a most valuable work, " The Chiefs of Grant," by Sir William Fraser, LL.D., was privately printed in 1883, on too large a scale, however, to be readily accessible. The impression, moreover, was limited to 150 copies. This book is therefore published at a moderate price, so that it may be within reach of all the members of the Clan Grant, and of all who are interested in the records of a race which has left its mark on Scottish history and the history of the Highlands. The Chiefs of the Clan, the Lairds of Grant, who succeeded to the Earldom of Seafield and to the extensive lands of the Ogilvies, Earls of Findlater and Seafield, form the main subject of this work.

  • 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.
