Sign up Here Highland Update Dementia-Friendly Aberfeldy Dementia-Friendly communities are not new, they exist in a number of countries. The main aim of a dementia-friendly community is to make sure people with dementia and their carers are empowered and enabled to remain part of their community, to maintain their identity and be treated with dignity and respect. Aberfeldy is a small town where a culture of kindness already exists so with a little effort, becoming a recognised dementia-friendly community and town is a possibility. The process involves learning a little about dementia and doing very simple and practical things that can make a massive difference to people living with dementia. An event was held in Aberfeldy on Tuesday 28th August. The purpose of this event was to establish if there was appetite within the community for Aberfeldy to work towards Dementia-Friendly status. The event was well attended with 72 people taking part. There were essentially two parts to the event. The first part explored already established dementia–friendly communities nationally and internationally. The second, a market stall section illustrated examples of support already available and 16 organisations were able to present their work in this area. During the event there was clear support for taking the concept of Dementia-Friendly Aberfeldy forward and over the next few weeks an action plan will be developed outlining the next steps. If interested in supporting the group or if you would like more information please get in touch via the e-mail address [email protected] Food and Friendship Lunches The Welcome All Soup Lunch is starting back up again on Friday 5th October 2018. This friendly lunch takes place in the Atholl Centre, Pitlochry (behind the Baptist Church) at 12noon. For £3 you get a bowl (or two) of beautiful soup with tea/coffee and a selection of cakes. Come along and make new friends and find out what is happening in the area. Aberfeldy Parish Church invites you to good food and fellowship for anyone and everyone AND all ages. Home-made soup, bread and cheese, sandwiches, dessert, plus tea, biscuits and gluten-free options. Sometimes there's a themed lunch. Lunch is served from 12noon till 2pm. The food is excellent but the chance to blether and make new friendships is the best part. We'd love to see you there.

Some feedback from those who attended on the day: “It’s been a lovely day. Coffee was great and the young people were so friendly” “I’ve had a very enjoyable afternoon, the tea and strawberries and cream was very nice. The volunteers and staff have worked very hard.” The next increasing connections in the community event will be Halloween.

The event was very well received and a great day was had by all involved, some groups even got some new volunteers signed up to their groups. Ashleigh Mustard, co-chair of the Strathmore Health and Wellbeing Group said, “This was the first event that we have ran like this and I think it was brilliant. I’d like to say a huge thank you to all of the groups for coming along and pulling everything together to get everything set up on the day. We will definitely be doing another event like this next year.” If you are interested in being involved with the Strathmore Health and Wellbeing group or future events please get in touch with either Ashleigh on [email protected] or 01250 872121, or Fiona Johnstone on [email protected] or 01738 567076 Blairgowrie & Rattray Development Trust Blairgowrie & Rattray Development Trust Ltd works with local people, groups, businesses and surrounding communities, helping to make the town a better place to live, work and visit.

  • 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.

Having contemplated both sides of the question, and weighed the balance with reason and justice; the Editors consulted with some of the first characters in the nation about the matter, who, after serious consideration, have granted their approbation for publishing the following sheets, and favoured the Editors, not only with vi PREFACE.

  • 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.

  • Best Value Assurance Report: Perth and Kinross Council  | 3
    Best Value Assurance Report Perth and Kinross Council Prepared by Audit Scotland August 2019 The Accounts Commission The Accounts Commission is the public spending watchdog for local government. We hold councils in Scotland to account and help them improve. We operate impartially and independently of councils and of the Scottish Government, and we meet and report in public. We expect councils to achieve the highest standards of governance and financial stewardship, and value for money in how they use their resources and provide their services. Our work includes: • securing and acting upon the external audit of Scotland’s councils and various joint boards and committees • assessing the performance of councils in relation to Best Value and community planning • carrying out national performance audits to help councils improve their services • requiring councils to publish information to help the public assess their performance. You can find out more about the work of the Accounts Commission on our website: www.audit-scotland.gov.uk/about-us/accounts-commission Audit Scotland is a statutory body set up in April 2000 under the Public Finance and Accountability (Scotland) Act 2000. We help the Auditor General for Scotland and the Accounts Commission check that organisations spending public money use it properly, efficiently and effectively.
