    From ‘Education in Aberdeenshire before 1872 I Simpson, University of London 1947 For a long time after the reformation, many rural parishes lacked even a minister or reader not to speak of a schoolmaster. A Parliamentary Act of 1633 required the heritors of every parish to establish a school – many disregarded it. Further Act 1646 brought more pressure – still some evaded. Act of 1696 empowered Presbyteries in face of obstinate heritors to apply to Commissioners of Supply, who had power to establish a school and fix a salary of at least 100marks (?) 1598 In Methlick – At a visitation where officials of the parish kirk were examined no reference to a parish school or schoolmaster but “the catalogue off the eldaris and deaconis”. 3 names are prefixed by ‘Mr’, in those days always an academic, never a country title.

  • The Cairngorm Club Journal 020, 1903
    EXCURSIONS AND NOTES. MOST of the members of the Club know Bennachie, or, if they don't, they ought to be heartily ashamed of themselves. In my opinion, no one should be admitted to membership who has A WINTER DAY ON not been on the top—in fa-ct, on all the tops— BENNACHIE. of Bennachie. I admit I have a peculiar liking for Bennachie, that "King of common hills". But to our tale. My friend and I left Aberdeen with, the 8.5 a.m. train on New-Year's Day, and in due course arrived at Pitcaple. We spent little time in the vicinity of the station, for there was nothing very attractive—everything appeared to be wrapt in slumber. We were at the Maiden Stane and into the Woods of Pittodrie in a comparatively short time, the morning wind making our ears tingle. But what a refreshing and invigorating effect it had as compared with what we had felt in the city! We had not gone far up the hill road when snow began to make its appearance, at first in little patches; but very soon we found that the road was practically snowed up, while here and there the snow had been blown into beautiful, fantastic shapes. The surface of the snow was, on the whole, quite hard, but occasionally we found our- selves on a soft bit, where we floundered, sometimes disappearing almost out of sight, until we got on to the hard snow again. On arriving at the Oxen Craig we had a remarkably good view in some dii'ections; the hills to the north were white from top to bottom.

  • National Sample from the 1851 Census of Great Britain List of Sample Clusters
    NATIONAL SAMPLE FROM THE 1851 CENSUS OF GREAT BRITAIN LIST OF SAMPLE CLUSTERS The listing is arranged in four columns, and is listed in cluster code order, but other orderings are available. The first column gives the county code; this code corresponds with the county code used in the standardised version of the data. An index of the county codes forms Appendix 1 The second column gives the cluster type. These cluster types correspond with the stratification parameter used in sampling and have been listed in Background Paper II. Their definitions are as follows: 11 English category I 'Communities' under 2,000 population 12 Scottish category I 'Communities' under 2,000 population 21 Category IIA and VI 'Towns' and Municipal Boroughs 26 Category IIB Parliamentary Boroughs 31 Category III 'Large non-urban communities' 41 Category IV Residual 'non-urban' areas 51 Category VII Unallocable 'urban' areas 91 Category IX Institutions The third column gives the cluster code numbers. This corresponds to the computing data set name, except that in the computing data set names the code number is preceded by the letters PAR (e.g. PAR0601). The fourth column gives the name of the cluster community. It should be noted that, with the exception of clusters coded 11,12 and 91, the cluster unit is the enumeration district and not the whole community. Clusters coded 11 and 12, however, correspond to total 'communities' (see Background Paper II). Clusters coded 91 comprise twenty successive individuals in every thousand, from a list of all inmates of institutions concatenated into a continuous sampling frame; except that 'families' are not broken, and where the twenty individuals come from more than one institution, each institution forms a separate cluster.
