The popularity of our annual Highland Archaeology Festival goes on from strength to strength. We aim to celebrate our shared history, heritage and archaeology and showcase the incredible heritage on our doorsteps as well as the importance of protecting this for future generations. The educational and economic benefits that this can bring to communities cannot be overstated. New research is being carried out daily by both local groups and universities as well as in advance of construction. Highland Council is committed to letting everyone have access to the results of this work, either through our Historic Environment Record (HER) website or through our programme of events for the festival. Our keynote talks this year provide a great illustration of the significance of Highland research to the wider, national picture. These lectures, held at the council chamber in Inverness, will cover the prehistoric period, the early medieval and the industrial archaeology of more recent times. -

GENDER REFLECTIONS: A RECONSIDERATION OF PICTISH MIRROR AND COMB SYMBOLS by Traci N. Billings A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Anthropology at The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee December 2016 ABSTRACT GENDER REFLECTIONS: A RECONSIDERATION OF PICTISH MIRROR AND COMB SYMBOLS by Traci N. Billings The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, 2016 Under the Supervision of Professor Bettina Arnold, PhD. The interpretation of prehistoric iconography is complicated by the tendency to project contemporary male/female gender dichotomies into the past. Pictish monumental stone sculpture in Scotland has been studied over the last 100 years. Traditionally, mirror and comb symbols found on some stones produced in Scotland between AD 400 and AD 900 have been interpreted as being associated exclusively with women and/or the female gender. This thesis re-examines this assumption in light of more recent work to offer a new interpretation of Pictish mirror and comb symbols and to suggest a larger context for their possible meaning. -
19Th April 2018 Dear Parents/Carers
Our vision is to ensure all our pupils are safe, healthy, achieving, nurtured, active, respected, responsible and included, so that each individual can be fulfilled and reach their potential within a supportive and proactive community. New Pitsligo & St John’s Primary School School Street New Pitsligo Fraserburgh Aberdeenshire AB43 6NE Tel: 01771 653232 Fax: 01771 653775 [email protected] www.newpitsligo-st-johns.aberdeenshire.sch.uk 19th April 2018 Dear Parents/Carers, We are really enjoying the sunny start to our new term. Please remember, if your child is likely to burn, please put sun cream on in the morning as we do not put sun cream on in school. Alas the warm weather may not stay and we can easily have four seasons in one day in our playground so it is a good idea to still being a coat every day. Reports: You will receive two copies of your child’s report. Please sign and return one copy to school. Safety: Please do not cut through the staff car park to come into the playground. There are cars coming in and out all day and so it is not a safe short cut. Also, parents are asked not to park in the staff car park as spaces are limited. Parents Evening: Parents evening takes place on Thursday 26th April and appointments will be issued shortly. After School Clubs: Football continues after school on Thursdays. Purple Mash computer club restarts for P4 – P7 pupils on Tuesdays from Tuesday 1st May 3pm – 4pm. Choir will begin for P3 - P7 pupils from 3pm – 3.45pm on Thursdays from Thursday 10th May. -

Future development within the settlement must meet local housing need and ensure the existing road into Ardallie is upgraded to improve local access. Natural and Historic Environment The Stirling Hill Local Nature Conservation Site (LNCS) is located to the east of the settlement. Settlement Features Protected Land P1 Marks the proposed strategic landscaping required for site OP1. Reserved Land R1 For a sustainable drainage system (SUDS) for site OP1. Services and Infrastructure • Strategic drainage and water supply: No public wastewater treatment available. • Community facilities: All residential development may be required to contribute towards facilities that serve the community in Ardallie or towards facilities in the wider catchment area at Hatton or Mintlaw. These may be identified in the Community Plan or relevant Community Action Plan. • Sports and recreation facilities: All residential development may be required to contribute to indoor and outdoor sports and learning facilities in Ardallie or towards facilities in the wider catchment area at Hatton or Mintlaw. These may be identified in the Community Plan or relevant Community Action Plan. • Waste and recycling: All development must contribute towards a household waste and recycling centre in Hatton or Mintlaw. -
Issues Raised in Response to the Proposed Local Development Plan and Proposed Submission to Scottish Ministers Appendix 2 Settlement Comments
ISSUES RAISED IN RESPONSE TO THE PROPOSED LOCAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND PROPOSED SUBMISSION TO SCOTTISH MINISTERS APPENDIX 2 SETTLEMENT COMMENTS Shaping Buchan – Summary of Schedule 4s Minor technical changes are also proposed to improve the accuracy of information now provided by Scottish Water and SEPA (see Schedule 4 7908). “Schedule 4” documents (so named because of the requirement to follow the form specified by Schedule 4 of the relevant Regulations) have not been produced for those settlements where there have been no representations. Ardallie Main objections raised in representation Number of planned units on site OP1 should be reduced to take into account already submitted proposals. Development of site OP1 should include road upgrades. Response by Planning Authority The approved houses on site OP1 would take up part of the allocation, and no change is required. Upgrading the existing road to an adoptable standard is already required by the development brief. The section of private road heading east from site OP1 is not required to link the site to the public road network so it is not appropriate to require its upgrading. Minor technical change Remove the settlement boundary annotation (which only covers the allocated, protected and reserved sites), for consistency. Auchnagatt Main objections raised in representation Amend OP2 reference to strategic landscaping or extend site OP2 further south to the minor watercourse, so that strategic landscaping can be implemented outwith the allocated area. Response by Planning Authority The reference to strategic landscaping is only a recommendation – the most appropriate position and nature of strategic landscaping would be determined at the planning application stage. -

The doors will be open at 1 30 pm, when there will be light refreshments and the opportunity for a chat and browse through the information on what we’ve been up to this past year. Business will start at 2, fol- lowed as soon as possible by a talk by Alan Cameron on the “Book of Deer”, which will make us even more appreciative of this famous and important manuscript. Stuartfield is not far from Aden Park, on the B9030 which is off the A950 via Old Deer ; or the A948 turn- ing off at Auchnagatt. If anyone needs more details, phone Andrew or Bunty at the numbers above. ARCHAEOLOGY (The search for the Columban Monastery) Establishing the location of the Columban Monastery is an impor- tant element in the Project’s work. The second phase of the search was carried out on the 8th, 9th and 10th of June by members of the Glasgow University Archaeology Division, helped to a great extent by Derek Jennings. This involved examining the area of the churchyard and burial ground close to the Old Deer Parish church in a non intrusive way with ground penetrating radar (GPR) and a gradiometer, methods which can provide excellent resolution of many types of archaeological features. -

A Learning Resource for Teachers of Curriculum for Excellence Level 2
A learning resource for teachers of Curriculum for Excellence Level 2 A learning resource for teachers i Introduction The Picts are one of Scotland’s greatest mysteries: an apparently vanished nation, chronicled by others but not by themselves. The Picts speak to us only through their inspiring creativity – their marvellous carved stones, their monumental hillforts and their beautiful jewellery. This resource will aim to provide an introduction to a topic rich in imagination, creativity and enquiry. Through discovery, exploration and sharing, teachers can engage young people by inspiring curiosity and inviting them to investigate this hidden part of their history and the evidence it has left in our culture and environment. The resource will act as a portal to enable the discovery of local sites and resources, integrating them with national learning resources such as SCRAN. This resource aims to: • inspire and encourage practitioners to engage with this fascinating topic; • bring the early historic Picts alive through a series of classroom and place-based activities (particularly focused on the hillforts on Scotland’s National Forest Estate); • encourage teachers and pupils to explore their local museums, archaeological sites and historic monuments; and to • promote the active engagement of schools with the wealth of historic and archaeological learning resources available both online and in print.
